Pet Food Fund
When the pandemic hit, we needed to create a way to continue providing pet food to our rescue partners without having our regular in-person pet food drives. Due to the need, our pet food assistance evolved into our Pet Foood Fund, which opened to community members and others facing financial difficulty to help them recover.
Thanks to the support of donors, we can keep this official Pet Food Fund available to families in need as a temporary resource.
Due to higher demand, individuals and families can only apply twice annually.
If you would like to make a monetary donation to this fund specifically, please note "Pet Food Fund" when you donate via PayPal or Venmo or mail a check to:
​
Traci's Paws, Inc.
7486 La Jolla Blvd. #505
La Jolla, CA 92037
​
If you would like to buy a Chewy gift card on our Wish List so we can buy food, you may do that here!

Pet Food Fund Donation Request
The following is an application for rescue organizations and individuals to apply for pet food donations from Traci's Paws Pet Food Fund or the current donated pet food supply. Only pet food, not monetary donations, will be distributed to recipients. Once you've received notification that your application has been accepted and your pet food has been ordered, please ensure someone can pick up your donation from your doorstep, as we cannot replace stolen donations.
Recipient organizations and individuals may request types of pet food (e.g., grain-free, puppy, senior pet, etc....), but depending on how much we have in our fund, the donation size is smaller if they are more expensive. Also, if the food is unavailable, we are not at fault.
Food and supplies (the "Donated Goods") may not be redistributed, sold, rented, or exchanged for other goods or services or presented for refund. If we discover this has been done, you will no longer receive a donation of pet food from Traci's Paws, Inc.
Each Recipient Organization or individual must complete their application. Submitting this form does not guarantee approval to receive products. Incomplete applications will not be processed.
​
Due to increased requests, all individuals and rescues will only be able to receive two donations within a 12-month period. Our fund is for temporary assistance; unfortunately, we do not have the resources to provide food year-round.
