Economic hardship not only affects people, but pets as well. Food banks exist for people who need assistance with groceries, and certain organizations also recognize the growing need for animal food. In the Denver area, there are organizations that offer free dog food for your four-legged friends. Each organization may have its own set of requirements to qualify for services.
PAWS Colorado
PAWS Colorado offers free food and help with veterinary services to clients in need. A list of qualifications on the PAWS website will help you determine if you qualify for assistance. PAWS Colorado also coordinates several fundraisers each year to help offset the cost of the services the group provides.
