Help Us Bring Secondhand Pet Supply to Communities Across the U.S.
Secondhand Pet Supply was founded with a simple mission: to make pet ownership more affordable and sustainable. By giving gently used, damaged, and new pet products a second life, we help reduce waste, cut costs for pet owners, and keep perfectly good supplies out of landfills.
We inspect, clean, repair, and upcycle every item before it’s resold—ensuring that nothing goes to waste and every pet has access to what they need. Because sustainability shouldn’t stop with us—it should include our pets, too.
Now, we’re ready to grow—and we need your help.
Your support will help us:
- Provide startup grants to people who want to open their own Secondhand Pet Supply in their community
- Hire and support employees who keep our mission running
- Fund basic operations like storage, transport, and repairs
Why It Matters:
- Americans throw away millions of pet items each year—many of them still usable.
- Most sustainable solutions overlook pets, yet they contribute significantly to our household carbon footprint.
- Secondhand Pet Supply gives communities a local, circular solution that makes a real difference.
Where Your Money Goes:
Goal: $175,000
Breakdown:
- Rent for 5 Locations (6 months each @ $2,500/month): $75,000
- Startup Grants (shelving, signage, cleaning, supplies – $5,000/location): $25,000
- Staff Support & Admin Costs (payroll, training, operations): $50,000
- Misc. Startup Costs (permits, insurance, logistics): $25,000
Every dollar gets us closer to building a national reuse network for pet products—and supporting pet owners who want to shop sustainably and affordably.
Our goals are simple:
- Save people time
- Save them money
- Keep pets happy
- And do it all while helping the planet
With your help, we can build a national network of Secondhand Pet Supply hubs—supporting local communities, empowering small-scale sustainability, and making a real difference for pets and the planet.
Let’s grow this movement together. Every donation helps bring this vision to life.
Together, we will save more than money.
