Volunteer with Silicon Valley Pet Project
Thank you for expressing interest in becoming a volunteer for Silicon Valley Pet Project. Your time, talent and experience are critical in fulfilling our mission of saving local at-risk shelter pets. We're a growing organization committed to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming homeless pets with a focus on at-risk animals at our local San Jose municipal shelter (one of the largest animal shelters in California). We need people to help in every aspect of the organization.
Silicon Valley Pet Project is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion. Our human capital is the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent that our volunteers and employees invest in their work represents a significant part of our culture.

Workplace Giving
Many companies offer "Volunteer Grant Programs," which match the hours employees spend volunteering with monetary donations, effectively doubling the impact of their charitable efforts. Be sure to log your volunteer hours with SVPP to maximize your impact! These matched donations play a vital role in supporting our mission and help us continue rescuing animals in need.
Group Volunteering
SVPP welcomes group volunteers for one-time projects, but availability of group projects is very limited, and a minimum of $500 donation per group is required. The minimum age requirement for group volunteers is 18 years old. For information about group volunteer opportunities, please contact us at events@svpetproject.org
