Providing Pet Food Assistance to People in Need

Promoting pet retention is a critical part of the AAHS mission. To help people provide the best possible homes for their pets, we’re proud to partner with several local charities, including The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, to provide pet food assistance to anyone in need. The 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month from 9am – 1pm, we host a Full Bellies pet food pantry drive-thru at our campus located at 1030 Mitchell Bridge Rd.

Help by volunteering for our food bowl

Our Full Bellies Food Bowl Program wouldn’t be possible without the amazing help of volunteers. Volunteers help this program run smoothly by coming in during the week to help bag dry dog/cat food and litter into gallon bags, and by organizing other goods that will be distributed at our Full Bellies Food Bowl Program on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month. Volunteers can also help by signing up to assist with running the event.
