High Country Bank is hosting their annual pet food drives in both Salida and Buena Vista to benefit the animals of Ark-Valley Humane Society.

Pet food donations can be dropped off at High Country Bank’s Salida location, 7360 West Highway 50, on Friday June 21st from 10AM to 2PM. They can be dropped off at High Country Bank’s Buena Vista branch, 516 US Highway 24 North, on Friday June 28th from 10AM to 2PM. AVHS representatives will be there to accept donations and hand out informational pamphlets about the shelter.

All types of cat and dog food will be accepted in unopened bags. High Country Bank is generously donating $1 for every pound of dog food given, up to $500 at each event.

“We are incredibly thankful for the continued support from High Country Bank.  This annual pet food drive not only helps feed our shelter animals but it also keeps our community pet food pantry stocked. Our pet food pantry is one of AVHS’s many safety net programs. In 2023, 643 animals received food through our pet food pantry. We couldn’t help these animals without support from kind individuals and businesses like High Country Bank” said AVHS Executive Director Nikki Ritter.
