About Arlo's Pantry
Pope County Humane Society is proud to offer Arlo’s Pet Pantry, a community pet food pantry designed to support Pope County families who may be struggling to provide food for their pets. This program exists to help keep pets in the homes they love and reduce the need for surrender due to temporary financial hardship.
Since opening in March 2025, Arlo’s Pet Pantry has served countless families and pets in our community. We’ve seen firsthand how access to pet food can make a meaningful difference—keeping pets healthy, preventing unnecessary surrenders, and supporting the human–animal bond that is so important to families.

The Inspiration
In mid November, 2024, many members of our community became invested in the wellbeing of a stray dog seen wandering around a lakeside neighborhood with a chain around his neck. He was only spotted from afar at first, but even from a distance, one could tell that he probably hadn’t had a meal in awhile. Thanks to the continuous efforts of community members, he was finally caught and brought into a warm and loving home. Sadly his condition took a turn for the worse overnight, and the community member reached out to PCHS for help. Zoë Johnson and Meghan Bird, a lead kennel attendant at PCHS, went to pick him up. Before they even made it back to the shelter, it was determined he needed emergency medical care. Zoë first took this dog, who became known to the community as Arlo, to Blue Pearl in St. Cloud, and after many tests it was decided that he needed to be transferred to a larger hospital to be assessed by neurology. He was then taken to Blue Pearl in Golden Valley. Throughout this journey, we were keeping our community updated via social media, and thanks to many generous hearts, we were able to fully cover Arlo’s medical costs before the night had ended. After a hard year, with many malnourished dogs that came into our care, Arlo was the final push we needed to fully commit to the vision of our pet food pantry. Arlo sadly passed away due to the severity of his condition, but his memory will live on in the hearts of the community, and the full bellies of pets in need.
