Through Petco’s We Are Family Too program, SFHA distributes pet food and litter donated at area Petco stores to local food banks and to private citizens experiencing financial hardship.

Every year, millions of pets are euthanized or suffer as strays as a result of unplanned litters that could have been prevented. SFHA educates the public on low-cost alternatives to traditional surgery and, in some cases, provides financial assistance to citizens who might not otherwise be able to afford this life saving service.

Through programs such as Kind News, an educational magazine distributed to school age children, SFHA continually seeks opportunities to inform and educate the public on animal welfare issues.
