Shelter – Recipient Application

This is an application for animal shelters to apply for donations from the GOODS Program, distributed through Cody’s Friends Charity.

Donors provide wholesome, nutritious food on an as-available basis only. Recipient organizations are not able to request specific food types (e.g., grain-free) or brands. Food and supplies (the “Donated Goods”) are for the Recipient Group’s use only. They may not be: a) redistributed without the expressed written consent from the GOODS Program, b) sold, rented, or exchanged for other goods or services, nor c) presented for refund.

Each Recipient Organization must complete their own application. Submitting this form does not guarantee approval to receive products. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

Direct link required. Please don't just put the word "Petfinder" or "www.petfinder.com".
