The Denton Animal Support Foundation (DASF) Emergency Pet Food Pantry supports Denton County residents in caring for their pets by providing free pet food for those in need. We are dedicated to helping people & their companion animals stay together.
Please understand that we may be unable to supply specific types of food and that the Emergency Food Pantry is only able to provide what is available from donated supplies as resources are limited. With that in mind, please understand that this program is not set up to supply food permanently, and is for temporary assistance only.
As of December 2022, the Emergency Pet Food Pantry has helped feed over 15,000 Denton area animals.
