Paw Pantry is a community pet food and supply pantry run by Kenai’s House, a Temecula animal rescue, and hosted inside the parts department at Hello Subaru of Temecula. Approved families get food and supplies for their pets, and neighbors can donate to keep the shelf full.
When money gets tight, pets are often the first to go. Families who love their dogs and cats can end up surrendering them to crowded shelters simply because they can’t afford food or basic supplies.
Lending a Paw keeps food in the bowl so pets can stay home with the people who love them. Every pet that stays home is one less pet in a shelter kennel and one more family that stays together.
That’s why Kenai’s House and Hello Subaru teamed up. Kenai’s House knows the families who need help; Hello Subaru has the space, the foot traffic and a community of pet-loving drivers. It’s how we put Subaru Loves Pets and Hello Gives Back into action every day.
Food and supplies help families through a hard stretch without giving up a pet.
Fewer surrenders means more room for animals with nowhere else to go.
Members check in privately with a QR code. No questions at the counter.
Every bag on the shelf comes from people right here in Temecula.
Kenai’s House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue in Temecula, California. Founder Shareen Harding named it for her dog, Kenai, with a simple dream: give animals in need the same love and care Kenai received every day.
Today it’s a lifeline for dogs and cats in Southern California’s overcrowded shelters, and its volunteers, the Rescue Rangers, stay with every pet for life.
Our team loves pets and truly cares about this community. Through Hello Gives Back, we want to be part of the charities we support, giving our time, our space and our hands, not just a donation.
