“Providing free dog food to people may not sound like much, but when you see the relief in the eyes of people as they pick up the food then you realize the pain and worry of being in a situation where you are struggling to provide your pet with food. We want to take this weight off people’s shoulders, let them know that they can come to Jazzy’s Place to get dog food, and that they will not have to surrender their dog to a shelter or let it go hungry for lack of resources. I am really proud of what we are doing, we are showing people someone truly cares about what they are going through and understands the love they have for their pets, and we are making sure those pets stay safe by their owner’s side.”

The Caplan-Bensley Foundation (CBF) overall mission is to provide individuals and families in need, along with their canine companions a well-nourished, safe, comfortable, and secure life. CBF believes no one should have to choose between feeding themselves or their pet dog, or ever have to abandon their beloved dog to an animal shelter due to physical hardships.
Jazzy Place grants provide free dog food to help households experiencing difficulties so their beloved pet dog can remain at home and never be placed in an animal shelter or abandoned.
Grants are made available through an extensive network of fully vetted food banks and pantries that are part of the nationwide Feeding America® program. CBF is looking to offer additional grants
beyond this existing network to canine-focused non-profit organizations that will distribute dog
food to more individuals and families in need.
Jazzy's Place Dog Food Initiative
For many, their dog is the only reason to
go on living, highlighting the importance of preserving this precious human-dog bond.
The CBF, a non-profit 501(c)(3), sponsors
two complimentary charitable programs -
Jazzy’s Place and Canine Residences in Supporting People (CRiSP).
Together, these grants combine to fulfill
the CBF's strategic overall objective of
“Saving Both Ends of the Leash®”.
With this in mind, the CBF seeks to keep vulnerable dogs together with their families by establishing
Canine Residences in Supporting People (CRiSP).
CRiSP would award grants to canine rescue and other nonprofit animal welfare organizations who identify qualified households and facilitate rehoming dogs for those physically unable to care for their pet.
This would provide a permanent loving home for the dog, including regular visits with owner, rather than being abandoned or forced to live in an animal shelter.
