- Leashes, harnesses, collars

- Blankets, sheets, towels, washcloths

Items that it is best to ask if needed:
Items that should be given to another organization:

- Bed pillows, cushions, mattress covers, toppers, foam padding
- Old t-shirts and/or fabric scraps

"Paw Pantry" Pet Food Bank that provides support to Williamson County pet parents in need.
