HSHV understands that financial difficulty often means making a list of priorities. Frequently, animals are forced to be low on that list.  HSHV’s Bountiful Bowls program assists Washtenaw County and Plymouth residents who are having difficulty meeting the nutritional needs of their dog or cat due to financial burden.

Trying times can be temporary.  With a little assistance, a pet owner can often find a way to keep their pet in their home. Because funds are limited, the program should supplement your monthly supply of pet food and not be the sole source of food for pets. You should expect to purchase food for your pets in addition to receiving the program food to meet their full nutritional needs.

Membership Terms

  • Applicants must provide proof of residency of Washtenaw County or Plymouth.
