The community's animal shelter for the prevention of cruelty to animals are facing a serious pet food shortage. The shelter is running dangerously low on food and other supplies they need to take care of their animals. They're about to run out. They're into reserves of food, and they are going to run out if we don't get some help. I have researched average cost of dog food per year; the total first-year cost of owning a dog is $1,270 and for a cat it's $1,070. As you can see, having a pet can cost you over $1,000 in the first year, and well over $500 each additional year. Depending on the food you buy and your actual medical expenses, the costs could be much higher. Volunteers at the shelter are trying to come up with good donations
