  • Your pet will be accepted immediately, given a full veterinary exam and placed in a foster home.
  • While in our supervised foster care, The Pet Project for Pets will seek to find your pet a forever home as specified in your directives.
  • The Pet Project will do a site visit prior to placing your pet in their new forever home.
  • All your pets, needs are provided for such as food, supplies, veterinary services and medicines.
  • The Pet Project will do site visits every six months for the life of your pet. We want to be sure that it is a good fit for both the pet and the forever home.

Who We Are

Recognizing the value of the human - animal bond, the Pet Project, a private, nonprofit organization, holding 501(c)3 status was formed in 2002. The organization’s goal is to help people keep their pets in their homes when faced with economic challenges that result from devastating and debilitating health issues associated with advanced age or illness.


What We Do

We are the step before a shelter for many animals. We provide pet food, vaccinations, dog walking, veterinary care if funding permits, as well as offering our newest Pet Legacy Program. The Pet Legacy Program is open to anyone, and will provide a long term, permanent care of your pets when you are no longer able to care for them.

Pet Legacy Program

The Pet Project – Pet Legacy Program provides for the long term, permanent care of your pet when you are no longer able to care for them. Many people wonder what will happen to their pet when they pass away or can no longer care for them. Well-meaning friends and family may not be able to take on the additional responsibility and responsible pet owners want to be sure their pet will be well taken care of. This program will address this need. Provisions for your pet should be included in your will or living trust so that your pet is placed in a loving home in the event of your incapacity or passing.
