The Friends of the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter recognizes that sometimes you may need a little help feeding your four legged friends. In an effort to keep pet owners from having to make a tough decision between feeding their family or feeding their pets, the FCCAS has established a Pet Food Pantry to help those in need. If you need assistance or would like to donate to the pantry, please click here.

We want to send our sincerest thanks to the Petfinder Foundation for continuing to support CCAS and our dogs. Their emergency COVID-19 response grant has allowed us to ensure that all our temporary foster families have crates for foster dogs as they adjust in their new homes. During this unprecendanted and difficult time, we could not be thankful enough for their support.
