Food Stamps for Pets

This is a grrrrrrreat idea...food stamps for pets. While researching financial aid options for a relatives sick dog, I stumbled across a  new donation-based program called Pet Food Stamps. This program provides food stamps for pets of low-income families who, because of current circumstances, are struggling ot unable to feed their pets. Over 45,000 pets signed up in the first 2 weeks of operation.  This is a privately funded, not a government, program. Unfortunately the program is only available to anyone in the USA.

Only in the USA?  So I started digging.. and you know how much I love to dig! 
I unearthed a website named Pets of the Homeless http://www.petsofthehomeless.org/
This organization provides veterinary care an pet food to the homeless in both Canada and the USA.
This organization only has 4 collection sites in Canada, all in Ontario.
If you wish to become a collection site click here.
