Jefferson County Pet Food Application Guidelines
To be eligible for the Pet Food Pantry program, you must qualify as low income, be a current participant in a state/federal assistance program, or experiencing financial hardship due to the current economic situation. To establish your financial need, you will need to show a WIC card, Bridge card, SSD card, Medicaid card, or other qualifying document.
Applicants must provide a photo ID and proof of residency from Jefferson County, MO.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
Only one person per household can apply for services.
We ask for personal information when one applies but do not share it with anyone and all information is kept strictly confidential.
No one in the household is to resell food or items provided by the Pantry. If we find out the food or item(s) was resold, the household and all members involved will be banned from assistance indefinitely.
We reserve the right to refuse anyone under any circumstance.
Because of the unwanted pet population in Jefferson County, we prefer your pets be spay or neutered. If they are not, we can direct you to low cost spay/neuter programs and can sometimes assist with cost.
Acquiring more pets while on the program is a no no, we understand sometimes there are extenuating circumstances, but please inform us before hand.

Please make us aware of any special food needs your pet might have (allergies, senior, diet, etc.).
We accept all kinds of pet food. By accepting food and/or services from the Pantry, the recipient, all household members, their friends and family agree not to hold the Pantry, its staff, volunteers, and benefactors legally liable in the unfortunate event the recipient's pet(s) becomes ill or the food upsets the pet's stomach.
I agree that if I cannot properly care for my pet, I will notify someone from Jefferson County Pet Food Pantry. We work with many rescue groups and will do our best to find your pet a happy home.
