Maine Points: No Bowl Empty Pet Food Pantry

No Bowl Empty Pet Food Pantry was founded in May of 2015 by Nadine Molloy.
Nadine was involved in animal rescue/animal welfare for many years and was encountering more and more people surrendering their pets. When she had a conversation with them, it became clear the reason for surrender was that they were experiencing financial hardship and could not afford to feed them. For many, their pets were all they had in the world and the reason they got out of bed every day. Many were seniors living on fixed incomes, having to choose between their medications or food for their pets. Many were families facing the choice of feeding their family or feeding their pet. Surrendering a beloved pet is hard on both the humans and the pets. Many surrendered pets do not do well physically or mentally in the shelter environment.
