Food

Pets require a wide range of nutrients to sustain life. These include proteins (building blocks of life) and carbohydrates, fats and vitamins. Proteins are the primary source of energy for all animals. They also provide amino acids that can be used to create new cells, build tissue and repair damaged ones.

If an animal is found or is brought to a shelter by its owner, it should be scanned and provided with food, water and comfort until the owner is found. Reuniting lost pets with their owners is a vital element of the humane mission and is among the most affecting aspects of working at a shelter. A quick Facebook search will bring up a wealth of videos of beloved pets being reunited with their heartbroken owners.
