Needy Paws Animal Shelter Pet Food Assistance Application
Thank you for your interest in our community Pet Food Assistance Program at Needy Paws Animal Shelter!
We will receive your application once you click submit. We cannot process incomplete applications and will contact you if we have any questions. Approved applicants will receive an email with instructions for obtaining pet food through our pet food pantry. We are only serving Johnson County residents at this time and will require proof of residency and income. As of September 1, 2025 participants will be able to come to the shelter during public hours or schedule an appointment outside of those hours to pick up pet food.
