(City of Pocatello Press Release, December 4, 2025)
Pocatello Animal Services is kicking off its annual Holiday Pet Food Drive, running December 5 through January 4. The department is collecting wet and dry dog and cat food, pet treats, litter, toys, and other pet supplies to help support pets and families in need throughout the community.
