Every pet deserves a full belly, a warm bed, and a loving home. But for thousands of rescue animals waiting in shelters across the country, even a simple meal is a gift—not a guarantee.
That’s why National Feed a Rescue Pet Week (celebrated annually during the last full week of July) is such a powerful reminder: you don’t have to adopt a pet to save one—you can start by feeding one.
What Is National Feed a Rescue Pet Week?
Launched by GreaterGood.org and The Animal Rescue Site, this compassionate campaign is dedicated to providing lifesaving meals to shelter pets in need. Through donations and awareness, this week-long event helps ensure that rescue pets get the nutrition they need while they wait for their forever homes.
🍖 Just $5 can feed a shelter pet for an entire week.
Imagine the difference one latte could make!
Why It Matters
Many shelters operate on tight budgets, and food is one of their biggest ongoing expenses. When donations run low or supply chains are strained, it can mean fewer meals for the animals who rely on human kindness.
Hungry pets are stressed pets—and that can affect their adoptability. A well-fed pet is healthier, happier, and more likely to find a home.
Ways You Can Help During Feed a Rescue Pet Week:
🐾 Donate to a trusted animal rescue or food drive in your community
🐾 Host a pet food collection in your neighborhood or workplace
🐾 Purchase from brands that give back to shelters
🐾 Volunteer your time at a local rescue or shelter
🐾 Share this campaign on social media to spread awareness
And Don’t Forget—Microchips Save Lives, Too
While you’re helping feed rescue pets, don’t forget about the pets already in your life! If your dog or cat was ever lost and ended up in a shelter, a registered microchip is often the only thing standing between reunion and heartbreak.
➡️ At iRegisterPets.com, we help ensure your pet’s microchip is properly registered—so if they’re ever lost, you’re just a phone call away from getting them back home safe and sound.
Small Acts, Big Impact
This week, whether you donate a bag of kibble, give a few dollars, or simply share a post, you’re doing something powerful.
You’re giving a shelter pet hope, health, and maybe even a second chance at life.
Join us in celebrating National Feed a Rescue Pet Week.
Let’s fill some bowls—and some hearts. ❤️🐾
