North Minneapolis Pet Resource Center, which has a selection pet food and supplies, is available to community members experiencing financial stress once a month to shop free of cost. Participation in our program comes with meetings with a Pet Support Specialist who offers advice, resources, and problem-solving.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is there a cost to use your program?
There is no fee to use our program. However, this program is run on donations and we suggest that you make a donation that fits your budget, if financially able.

How often can I pick up pet food & supplies?
You can visit NMPRC once a month for pet food and supplies for as long as you need support. We do our best to provide you with a month’s supply of pet food - however, we recognize that you may need to supplement what is provided - on your own.

What happens during an appointment?
Our Advocate team will meet with you to discuss your pet’s needs every time you visit. We believe that the best way to make sure we’re supporting you & your pets is to have a quick check-in to see if anything has changed or if there are any additional support services we can provide.

What do I need to bring with me to my appointment?
We support community members with pets regardless of income or residency. There is no need to bring anything with you to qualify for our services.

Can I bring my pet to my appointment?
Well behaved pets on a leash are welcome in our space.

Do you offer a delivery option?
Yes! We are able to make deliveries to families living in North Minneapolis on Saturday afternoons. Deliveries require an appointment & an initial over the phone information check in.

Can I adopt a pet or surrender a pet to you?
No, we are not a rescue organization. We recommend searching our Community Partner Database for an organization close to you.

Do you know of additional pet resources in the area?
Yes! Check out our Twin Cities Pet Resource Guide and our Pet Support Resources page.

Do you accept donations?
Yes! We accept unopened & not expired pet food. We also accept new & gently used pet supplies. Donations can be dropped off during our hours of operation or dropped off in our donation bin in between our building and the clinic next door.
