PALS (Pets Assisting the Lives of Seniors) provides support for older adults and other homebound Central Texans who have pets. Pets provide essential companionship to our neighbors who are homebound.

-
Deliver monthly pet food and supplies every Second Saturday of the month
-
Make a one-time pet food and pet supply delivery on a Second Saturday

-
Temporarily foster a neighbor’s pet (for neighbors in extended medical stay)
-

We regularly accept the following items for donation: canned or dry food for cats/dogs, cat litter, new or gently used litter boxes, pee pads, leashes, toys, and scratching posts, and gift cards to stores selling pet supplies
