Our Mission

To save at-risk shelter pets through rescue, community involvement and education.

Silicon Valley Pet Project

Silicon Valley Pet Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, founded in November of 2014 and is based in San Jose, California.

Our Vision

To inspire and involve communities, organizations, and individuals in SVPP's life-saving work.

We embrace teamwork, professionalism, and flexibility in our organization, all with the goal of helping more animals in our community. We are proud to be the first San Jose based network partner of Best Friends Animal Society.

SVPP strives to make the experience of volunteering, fostering, adopting, and/or donating to our organization rewarding, educational, supportive, and community-focused. We are an animal welfare organization that is first and foremost a people organization. We could not do what we do without every person who volunteers, fosters, adopts, or donates to SVPP.

Our Pets

SVPP rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes both cats and dog of all breeds, as well as senior and special-needs pets, that are at risk of euthanasia. These animals may need significant medical or behavioral care. We value our partnership with the San Jose Animal Care Center (SJACC), Silicon Valley's largest municipal animal shelter, Tricity Animal Shelter in Fremont, and County of Santa Clara Animal Services and work closely with them on special-needs cases.

As we have no central facility, rescued pets are fostered and nurtured in volunteers' homes in the Bay Area.

While a significant portion of our time and resources goes to assessing, rehabilitating, and rehoming these at-risk animals, we are also focused on bringing awareness to the plight of homeless animals in Silicon Valley and providing guidance to the community on how they can help.

Our Funding

SVPP's lifesaving work is fully funded through private and public donations, grants and partnerships with other local organizations. With your generous support, we will continue to make a significant impact for homeless pets in our community.

We are grateful to all of our supporters who make it possible to do the life-saving work we do.

Our Goal – A Pet Community Center

Our future goal is to have a permanent pet community center that celebrates pets and their guardians while providing animal welfare resources and programs.
