Pet Project Foundation
For almost 40 years, Pet Project Foundation and the San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter have been united in a unique partnership to provide pro-humane (No-Kill) care to the lost and abandoned animals of our two cities.
Pet Project Foundation serves as the non-profit rescue partner for the San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter and provides all the funding necessary to cover the veterinary medical costs & special food expenses for every animal who passes through the shelter doors. This includes vaccinations, spaying/neutering services, important medications, and life-saving procedures. In addition, donations raised help pay for other important initiatives like our Kitten Foster Program and “A Rescue Mission” Program.
"A Rescue Mission” is a Program that began in 2012 with the goal of rescuing animals from high volume, overpopulated shelters in Southern California where they risk being euthanized. We provide them with much needed veterinary care and a pro-humane (No-Kill) environment while they await their perfect forever homes. Since the inception of the “A Rescue Mission” Program, thousands of dogs, cats & bunnies have made their way to our shelter from high occupancy shelters and have been adopted to loving families.
Fundraising events and donations are the life-blood of Pet Project Foundation and enable our non-profit to provide life-saving resources for the animals in need. We will be hosting our 22nd Annual “Tails of Forever” Gala on September 10th at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa in Dana Point. To kickstart fundraising for the event, we received a very generous sponsorship donation from long-time supporter Jay “Sparky” Longley & his dog Bentley, along with the Rainbow Sandals Foundation of $10K. We are so grateful for this generous donation from Rainbow and want to encourage folks & local businesses to follow Sparky’s lead and help sponsor and attend our upcoming fundraising Gala event in support of the shelter animals.
In addition to our fundraising activities, our dedicated volunteers donate more than 30,000 hours of volunteer time each year to help train and walk the dogs, cuddle our cats & kittens, and give the bunnies plenty of “hop-time” & socialization.
Pet Project Foundation is grateful to the communities of San Clemente and Dana Point for their continued support of our non-profit and the shelter animals.
