Paula’s Pet Pantry

Paula’s Pet Pantry is dedicated to supporting the well-being of pet families in the San Diego communities of Ocean Beach and the Point Loma Peninsula. Given the deep bond and interdependence that exists, our vision is to enhance the quality of life for pets while also supporting the mental and emotional well-being of their pet parents.

Through your donations of pet food and supplies, together we can ensure that no dog or cat goes hungry, and that pet parents facing hardship have access to essential pet food and supplies.
