Volunteer with Silicon Valley Pet Project

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Silicon Valley Pet Project. Your time, talent, and experience play a vital role in helping us save the lives of at-risk animals in our community.

Silicon Valley Pet Project is a foster-based animal rescue, meaning the pets we rescue are cared for in volunteer foster homes—not in a shelter facility. We partner closely with local municipal shelters, including the San José Animal Care Center, to rescue at-risk dogs and cats, provide medical care and rehabilitation, and place them in loving homes.

As a growing nonprofit animal rescue organization, we rely on dedicated volunteers to support every aspect of our work—from events and outreach to administrative support, marketing, and community programs. Whether you prefer hands-on involvement or remote opportunities, there are many ways to make a meaningful impact.

Silicon Valley Pet Project is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion. Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. The collective sum of your unique experiences, perspectives, and talents strengthens our organization and helps us better serve both animals and our community.
