Austin Pets Alive! and the Central Texas Food Bank teamed up again this past Friday, distributing 4,000 pounds of pet food alongside groceries to about 200 families. With pet food prices soaring faster than incomes, demand for help has jumped 50% this year — and people are making tough choices, sometimes even sharing their own meals with their furry friends. This event, open to anyone in Austin and Travis County without prior sign-up, echoes last April’s success, when over 300 households received more than 570 bags of pet food for 500+ pets. If you want to help, donate unopened pet food, towels, or bedding — or consider fostering or adopting, as shelters are overflowing. In a city that loves pets, there’s still plenty of room to make a difference. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
