NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) — A new kind of pet rescue is designed to help owners feed their pets when difficult financial times make it hard to pay for food.
Volunteers at the Hudson Valley Pet Food Pantry told CBS 2′s Lou Young that they wanted to make sure that owners did not have to give up their pets for financial reasons.
“They love their pets and the pets are always there for them. You know if you give them up you give up a part of yourself,” said Suzanne Ferrara.
Pantry Director Cathy Fermi explained that the Pantry helps people who are living on a reduced income and are relying on the social safety net for survival.
