DANVILLE, Va. – Blue Buffalo has donated 24,000 pounds of pet food to the Danville Deserves Better Pet Resource Center & Pet Pantry, an initiative led by Best Friends Animal Society. This pantry supports pet owners facing economic hardships, ensuring their pets receive essential care.
“Many residents in Danville experience financial difficulties that can make it challenging to afford pet food and supplies,” said Dave Wesolowski, Manager of Grass Roots and Advocacy for Best Friends Animal Society. “We are grateful to our partner, Blue Buffalo, for their generous donation to support this need. Providing pet food assistance can help to keep pets and people together and prevent situations where owners might feel compelled to surrender their pets to a shelter due to a temporary situation where they may not be able to provide for their pets.”
