According to a release fromBest Friends Animal Society, the country star’sTrisha Yearwood Pet Collectionpartnered with Smith’s and Best Friends Animal Society to host a pet food drive on June 18 in Salt Lake City.
The event benefitted the pet food pantry at the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Salt Lake City, which offers support to pet owners in the community who are struggling financially, including a program that distributes food, litter, toys, kennels, and other supplies to people’s homes.
Animal lovers donated over 700 pounds of dry pet food and more than 200 cans of wet pet food to the drive. In addition to this helpful haul, Trisha Yearwood Pet Collection donated 500 pounds of Trisha Yearwood dog food, and Smith’s matched that donation.

“Sometimes a bag of pet food makes all the difference between keeping a dog or cat at home or someone having to make the agonizing decision to relinquish their pet to a shelter,” Sizemore said in a statement about the importance of pet food pantries and drives. “We are so grateful to Trisha Yearwood Pet Collection and Smith’s for their incredibly kind donations to our pet food pantry.”
