HAMILTON — The Butler County Animal Friends Humane Society is accepting donations of dry dog and cat food to help the four-legged, furry needy this holiday season.

The agency will host a pet food pantry Saturday, Dec. 19, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. — or while supplies last — at its office at 1820 Princeton Road.

“We are seeing more and more animals coming into the shelter due to people not being able to continue to provide for their pets,” said Animal Friends Executive Director Meg Stephenson.

The agency will provide one five-pound portion of cat food or 10-pound portions of dog food per household. They ask that people bring identification showing residence in Butler County.

“Pets are part of the family and we want to encourage people to work through these hard times and continue to provide a forever home to their pets,” Stephenson said. “We hope this will help get them through the holiday and have a merry Christmas.”

Donations to the shelter are tax deductible, and can be dropped off at the office. For more information, contact Animal Friends at (513) 867-5727.
