Owning a pet is a privilege that brings us great rewards. Because our pets can’t speak for themselves, we each take on a responsibility as owners to advocate for them and provide the support and resources they need to live healthy, happy lives. Providing that support begins even before we bring a pet home: https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/pet-owners/responsible-pet-ownership

🐾 Sometimes the most important thing we can give a pet is a little help for the person who loves them. ❤️

Lately, Options has been hearing from an increasing number of seniors living in low-income housing who are struggling to afford the everyday supplies their pets need.

And, when seniors bring their pets to Options and tell us they need help, we want to be able to say, “We've got you.”

That's where YOU come in. 🥹

We're currently collecting donations of pet food and supplies to help meet these growing needs.

🧺 Our most requested items:

🐱 Unscented clumping cat litter
🐱 Adult cat food — dry & canned
🐶 Small-dog food — dry & canned, adult & senior formulas

Any name brand is welcome! We especially appreciate good-quality, middle-of-the-road options—not the bargain basement stuff, but no need to break the bank either. ❤️

If you can help, we'd be incredibly grateful.

📍 Drop-off:
Options Veterinary Care: 4690 Longley Lane, Suite 1, Reno, NV 89502

🕐 Monday–Friday | 8 AM–4 PM
Closed major holidays

If you can't donate, sharing this post helps too. You never know who has an extra bag of food or box of litter sitting in their pantry.

Let's show our seniors—and the pets who depend on them—that their community is here for them. ❤️🐾
