Food for Paws kicked off in early November and was extended through December 31. Local communities provided a little bit of paradise to pets in need this holiday season by donating a bag of pet food to their local Pet Paradise Resort.
The pet food drive has assisted over 20 nonprofit organizations nationally and numerous pet owners who are struggling to feed their pets across six states.
Since 2009, Pet Paradise has collected and distributed over 110,000 pounds of pet food through its Annual Food for Paws Pet Food Drive.
