Request Assistance

Pet Project works to support animals in our community through trapping assistance, placement, community resources, and education.

Because we are a volunteer-run organization, our ability to respond may depend on current capacity and available resources. Please complete the appropriate request form below so we can better understand your situation and determine how we may be able to help.

If an animal is in immediate danger or requires emergency medical care, please contact your local animal control agency or an emergency veterinary clinic.

Community Cat TNR

If you are caring for or have identified an outdoor/stray cat(s), we may be able to assist with humane trapping and coordination of spay/neuter services.

Owner Surrenders

At this time, Pet Project is not accepting owner surrender requests.

We understand that making the decision to rehome a pet is often incredibly difficult, and we appreciate those who are trying to do what is best for their animal. Unfortunately, as a foster-based rescue with limited resources, we must carefully manage our intake to ensure we can continue providing quality care for the animals already in our program.

If you are seeking placement for your pet, we encourage you to visit our Resources page for a list of shelters, rescues, and organizations that may be able to assist. Many organizations operate on a managed-intake model and may have waiting lists, so we recommend contacting multiple organizations.

If your situation is an emergency or your pet requires immediate medical attention, please visit our Emergency Resources page for veterinary clinics and additional assistance.
