Bella, a sweet 10-year-old mixed breed, requires a specialized senior diet that is gentle on her stomach, and the cost of her food suddenly became a heavy burden for her owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They worried they might have to surrender their best friend just to ensure she was properly fed. Fortunately, a neighbor told them about North Star Pet Pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the generous financial contributions from our Eagan community, our emergency supply fund was able to step in and provide a full month&#8217;s supply of Bella&#8217;s specialty food, taking the pressure off her family while they got back on their feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;We were heartbroken thinking we might have to surrender her. You didn&#8217;t just give us dog food; you gave us a lifeline that kept our family together.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Courtney &amp; John &#8211; Bella&#8217;s Parents<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No one should have to choose between their own groceries and feeding their pet.
