Dekalb County is offering FREE pet food to residents in need. If you’re experiencing a hardship that makes it difficult for you to care for your dog or cat, this event is for you.
The Pet Food Pantry is held on the fourth Friday of each month, from noon to 2 p.m.
There is a list of upcoming dates below, so you can set a calendar reminder.
This is a first-come, first-served event, while supplies last.
You do not need to register in advance — just show up.
The event is held rain or shine.
The free pet food is for Dekalb County residents only, and you may be asked to show proof of residency. Please bring an ID or utility bill with you.
The events are held at Dekalb County Animal Services (DCAS), located at:
3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road
Chamblee, GA 30341
When you arrive, stay in your car and follow the line.
There will be Lifeline Animal Project volunteers and staff on site to direct traffic and hand out supplies.
It’s not clear if walk-ups will be accommodated, but we’re working to find that out!
The location is a fairly easy walk from the Chamblee MARTA Station.
This event is funded by Dekalb County.
The county shelter is in crisis mode from overcrowded conditions, and the Pet Food Pantry is an effort to assist pet owners who might otherwise be faced with surrendering their beloved pets.
