Food pantry for pets

We are in desperate need of food -- please donate so we can continue to help those in need!

The Buffalo Companion Animal Network has opened a pet food pantry to help our low income neighbors. Pet owners must provide proof, such as Food Stamp cards.

Anyone interested in receiving pet food should call Kathy Hogan at 602-7169. The pantry is open from 11 am to 2 pm on Mondays.

Donations to the Pet Food Pantry and/or Buffalo Companion Animal Network are always welcome. Call (716) 602-7169 for more information. Checks can be made out to Buffalo CAN and mailed to 201 Norwalk, Buffalo NY 14216.

Microchip Clinics

Buffalo CAN holds microchip clinics from time to time. The process involves injecting a small capsule under the skin which emits an electronic frequency signal that can be read by a handheld scanner. Shelters and veterinarians scan animals in order to identify them and their owners.

The cost is only $25 and proceeds will benefit the Buffalo Companion Animal Network. For more information or to make a reservation to have your pet microchipped, contact Kathy at (716) 836-0925.
