Q1–Q3 Impact: No Dog Left Hungry

This year, your generosity helped us keep tails wagging across Tampa. From January through September, we provided consistent nutrition to dogs whose families are navigating housing and income instability.

Dogs Fed (Year to Date) 

• Quarter 1: 22 dogs 
• Quarter 2: 34 dogs 
• Quarter 3: 38 dogs 

Total (Q1–Q3): 94 dogs 

How Much Food That Equates To 

• Meal portion: ~½ lb per serving 
• 1 standard 30-lb bag ≈ 60 meals 

Using a conservative baseline of ~10 lb per dog (20 meals) across Q1–Q3: 

• Q1: 22 dogs × 10 lb ≈ 220 lb (~440 meals) 
• Q2: 34 dogs × 10 lb ≈ 340 lb (~680 meals) 
• Q3: 38 dogs × 10 lb ≈ 380 lb (~760 meals) 

Total (Q1–Q3): ~940 lb of food (≈ 1,880 meals), which is about 31–32 standard 30‑lb bags. 

If every supported dog received a full monthly bag (30 lb), Q1–Q3 would equal ~2,820 lb in total. Actual distributions vary based on each dog’s situation (see below). 

How We Feed: Two Paths, Same Purpose
Monthly Supply (for housed/temporarily sheltered families): We deliver a standard 30‑lb bag (or equivalent) to cover day‑to‑day needs at home. 

Portion‑Size Packs (for unsheltered neighbors): Large bags are hard to carry when everything you own is on your back. We assemble compact, ready‑to‑carry meal kits (½‑lb portions) with a collapsible bowl and info card—safer, lighter, and more practical on the move. 

Thank You, Donors and Partners 

To everyone who contributed funds or food: thank you. You turned compassion into 1,800+ meals (and counting) this year. Your support keeps families together, reduces shelter surrenders, and—most importantly—means no dog goes hungry. 

Making Change Pawsible remains committed to one simple promise: no dog goes hungry. With your continued help, we’ll keep that promise every week. 

Want to help? A single 30‑lb bag can become ~60 meals. Monthly gifts and in‑kind donations (kibble, wet food, treats, collapsible bowls) make the biggest difference. Donate or get involved at makingchangepawsible.org.
