"Every day, many area pet owners depend on the Michigan Humane Society's pet food bank to feed their dogs and cats," said Debby MacDonald, MHS Chief Cruelty Investigator and MHS Detroit Facility Director. "These are people like you and me who love their animals, but who may have fallen on hard times. Without programs like these, they'd be forced to give up their best friend."
