About Pet Pantry of Lancaster

The Pet Pantry of Lancaster County began when our co-founders realized that their friends and neighbors were unable to feed their pets. Volunteers began packaging food out of garages and storage units to distribute it to people in need.

Over the years, our mission has expanded to three core services – to fix, feed, and rescue animals in need. We are fighting for animal welfare from every angle.

We know financial insecurity is one of the leading causes of pet surrender. Falling on hard times should not be the reason you have to say goodbye to the four-legged member of your family.

By offering a food assistance program, we help keep animals fed and in their homes while their owners’ situation stabilizes. Our trained veterinary team also offers reduced-cost spay/neuter procedures to help reduce the financial barriers of pet ownership.

For the animals that must be surrendered, we step in to help them get the care they need on their way to forever homes.

Pet Pantry has recently expanded into 2 locations. Our flagship location on Millersville Road serves as our cat rescue and offers surgery options for owned animals in our community. The new Dena & Sam Lombardo Animal Rescue & Surgery Center on Columbia Ave, features a dog adoption center and a cat surgery center, allowing us to quadruple the number of animals we serve.

In operation for nearly 15 years, Pet Pantry has created new futures for thousands of animals and their families.
