Operation Full Bellies: Jack Jack's Pack H-E-B Food Drive

At Jack Jack's Pack, we believe every dog deserves a full belly and a loving home. For the countless street dogs we rescue from the harsh realities of life on their own, a consistent, nutritious meal is often one of first steps towards healing and hope. These resilient spirits have faced hunger, uncertainty, and neglect, and providing them with quality food is paramount to their physical recovery and emotional well-being.

That's why we're thrilled to announce our H-E-B food drive! From November 16, 2025 to December 31, 2025, you can help us ensure our rescued street dogs go to bed with happy bellies.

Beyond Rescue: The Daily Cost of Feeding Our Pack 🐕

At Jack Jack's Pack, we care for nearly 200 dogs who had nowhere else to go. Our promise is simple: a safe home, medical care, and a full bowl. While we always ensure their needs are met, the scale of this daily commitment highlights why community support is vital.

Consider the essentials: each 40lb bag of dog food costs us around $50. A medium to large dog, which makes up a significant portion of our pack, eats about one bag each month. When you do the math for nearly 200 dogs, that's roughly 200 bags of food, totaling around an incredible $10,000 per month.This ongoing expense is a testament to the lives we're saving and the second chances we're providing.

Your support isn't just a donation; every bag of food, directly translates into a comforting meal for a dog who genuinely appreciates it. Your generosity fuels their journey to recovery, giving them the strength to heal, the energy to play, and the resilience to learn what it means to be part of a loving family.

How you can help us fill the pantry 📣

Donate from anywhere:

Can't make it to an HEB? You can still make a critical difference from anywhere! A monetary donation allows us to purchase food for our rescue dogs to provide a consistent diet and ensure a steady stock for all of our fosters.

Every dollar directly feeds a former street dog. All monetary donations are fully tax-deductible.

Purchase food and donate at one of our drop off locations

Help feed our dogs by purchasing one of the HEB foods listed in the photo and dropping it off at one of our locations. The collection period begins on November 16, 2025 and will run through December 31st, 2025.

Our Mission: Born from Love, Fueled by Loss

JackJack's Pack began with a heartbreaking personal story. On October 27, 2021, our beloved 17-year-old chihuahua, Jack-Jack, slipped out our front door and vanished. Our desperate search for him revealed a shocking truth: countless abandoned and suffering dogs on the streets of Central Texas.

Driven by our love for Jack-Jack, we couldn't ignore them. What started as a search for one became a mission to save many. Officially formed on Christmas Day 2021, Jack Jack's Pack is dedicated to rescuing lost pets, saving street dogs, and rehabilitating the injured and sick.

Since then, we've rescued over 2,600 dogs total (more than 700 already this year), many of which were abandoned in the streets or facing euthanasia in crowded shelters. From emaciated pups to those with severe injuries, we provide critical care and a second chance. Every dog saved is a part of Jack Jack's Pack forever. We continue this vital work daily, honoring Jack-Jack by giving hope to the forgotten animals of our community.
