The recession has brought a four-fold increase in the number of animals being given for adoption. Faithful Friends' executive director Jane Pierantozzi says that cash-strapped families can't take care of their pets while trying to take care of themselves.

The food bank gets its supplies from public donations, other nonprofits such as the Humane Society, and stores including Concord Pet Food & Supplies and Petco Corporation.
