I love the Pet Project! They always through amazing event to raise money for people and their pets! Amazing organization! :)
I’ve been volunteering with Pet Project for about 18 years, assisting with public outreach email campaigns, events. From the moment I encountered the organization and its Executive Director, Sue Martino, I was captivated by their incredible work. Over the years, I’ve witnessed countless furry lives saved and adoptions facilitated through Pet Project’s programs, benefiting both animals and their humans. I am immensely proud to contribute in any way I can, and my heart soars every time I hear about another human-animal bond preserved or newly formed through a Pet Project initiative.

I have been volunteering with Pet Project for about 15 years now, helping with public outreach email campaigns, preparing event artwork, and handling many technical aspects of the operation due to my tech background. As soon as I first came across the company and it's Executive Director Sue Martino, my heart was captured by all the fantastic work that they do for our furry family members in those families that are truly in need. Through all those years, I have seen countless lives spared through the Pet Project programs, and countless adoptions, that saved both our furry friends and the families they are a part of. I am very proud to be able to contribute in any level, and my heart is elated every single time I hear of another human-animal bond that has been kept alive (or created anew) due to a Pet Project program.
As both a donor and volunteer it has been my joy to support this most worthy charity.
Its purpose of helping both people and pets resonates with me and consistently provides all of those involved with pet project a true blessing. I cannot say enough good about this organization.

Pet project consistently provides all that is needed to keep pets with their loving owners. I have attended many events and donated in order to help them reach this impressive goal.
It is a well run, efficient organization and deserves any assistance available.
I have named them as a recipient for a small fund raising event I am coordinating.
The Pet Project is an amazing nonprofit. They are always there to help! I have donated for years and to hear the stories where they have helped pets stay in the homes with the owners always heals my heart. Great job guys. Keep up the great work.

Sue and the Pet Project for Pets is an amazing organization. They help so many people and pets all year long. We as local business always try and donate when we can.
RE/MAX Experience is very proud to donate and volunteer to help this very special organization out. Thank you Sue for all you do to help out the community.
As someone who volunteers behind the scenes, I have a special insight into the people that work there, the work that they do; and the highest ethical standards they operate under.
The work they do is so important allowing people to keep their animals healthy and well-fed when they wouldn't be able to otherwise. The Pet Project for Pets, Inc. allows people to experience the joy and love of their pets, and is a bright light to those in need - with dignity.
Pet Project helps thousands of individuals who need pet food and pet supplies for their pets. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated charity in south Florida. They are always there to help in any and every way. Thank you Pet Project and all of its volunteers.
I've been a donator and part of the support staff for years. The Pet Project has been an inspiration for me, and their commitment to recognizing the value of the human-animal bond is like none other! I encourage anyone to check out this amazing organization and contribute anyway you can!
Pet Project has been working in my community for years and I learned of them thru a neighbor was connected to their services several years back when he was in financial distress and in hospice at home status and receiving food for his cat since he couldn’t afford it. The compassion & empathy to reach out help folks in medical crisis in my neighborhood with great financial plight so they could continue living with their beloved pet was amazing. Plus they were ensuring these individuals were treated with dignity and respect.
Years passed and thru their outreach my spouse and I assisted with finding placement for a crippled cat whose elderly caregiver had passed and the cat had already had several placement disruptions. due to an elderly person referred to them being unable to continue care. The PetProject collaborations and partnering within the community was alway evident. They do want a forever home for pets and provided more than food. Rather they were linking resources, and other organizations to their clients to offer them a full spectrum of services.
My spouse has owned a business for years and based on the Peg Project’s clear accountability, transparency in their operations and the use of their resources he has also ensured our business would help out with their fundraising efforts. and stakeholders can trust the organization’s integrity.
Adaptability in responding to evolving health needs and the challenges faced by the people they serve is their signature priority as they do home delivery of the food for their animals.
I personally love their inclusivity to ensure their free services are accessible to all, regardless of background, culture, or circumstance, when they meet the criteria related to health, economic need etc. I know their holistic approach has helped thousands in this south Florida not just animal food, but often linking their clients to appropriate and caring partners to help with reduced veterinary services and other service needs.
These qualities I speak of have caused the Pet Project for Pets to truly build relationships & trust that is noteworthy. They have fostered community support that makes them a hometown hero organization and that has decades of shown outstanding service successes and a great long-term impact to thousands of vulnerable people with pets.
Pet Project doesn't just help pets. They help people, too, because they know pets are family! Low-income families get monthly cat/dog food so they are able to keep their babies. Pet Project delivers pet food to elderly and disabled pet owners who have mobility issues. Our local animal rescues are able to purchase large quantities of food and litter for a low cost in order to help them continue to save animals. As a volunteer for a South Florida cat rescue, I know firsthand the amazing things that Sue and the Crew do every day, including helping sick and stray animals. And Robert is awesome!
They have a fantastic thrift store that features vintage and new items, including pet stuff. Last time I was there, they had a gramophone (very old record player before my time but very cool) and even pet pee pads! Also lots of great clothes. I really love and appreciate this wonderful organization!
My experience with Pet Project for Pets has been nothing short of transformational. The work that is done to keep people and their pets united despite the challenges of sickness, finances, and often times both is truly a blessing for all involved.
We are a 501c3 non profit dog rescue. We have been working with Sue for several years now. Without Sue Martino and the Pet Project and the opportunity they have provided to us to purchase pallets of dog food and supplies thru her non profit we would never have been able to save as many dogs as we have. Sue is a wonderful lady and truly a life saver and we are thankful for her and The Pet Project.

Hello,
I've been a client and volunteer with the Pet Project since 2008 when we worked together to make this organization what it is today, helping people and pets in need stay together.
Through the tireless efforts of Sue Martino I have learned what dedication means, she will never say no to a true need if there is any way she can help. People call daily needing answers, help in many ways and are assisted by very caring and knowledgeable volunteers.

I love being a pet project volunteer and I look forward to saving so many more pets.

I have been involved with Pet Project for 2.5 years and am now a board member for this amazing nonprofit. Pet Project has made an extremely positive and long lasting impact on our local community. Here at Pet Project, our goal is to keep people and pets together forever. Most of our beneficiaries are those who are elderly, disabled or an a fixed income and unable to provide for the basic care of their pet. Pet Project raises money to be able to help those pet owners provide food, grooming, medical, and supplies for their pets. Most of these individuals have nobody left except their pet, so we do what we can to keep them together. In addition, Pet Project responds to natural disasters by sending trucks with pallets of pet food, beds, etc around the state and around the country. The Pet Project is truly a remarkable organization and one that most of us can relate to.
I have volunteered with the pet project for pets for years, within that time i have gotten many opportunities to see how this nonprofit has changed hundreds of lives and kept animals in their home. I’m giving this non profit 5 stars for its dedication to keeping families together with proper community support!
I started volunteer for Pet Project for Pets a couple of years ago because I was impressed by their mission statement of keeping pets with their people. Since then I’ve learned that Pet Project does so much more than I realized to achieve that goal. The Pet Project for Pets:
- Manages the Hidden Treasures thrift store where all products are donated, all staff are volunteers and all proceeds go towards feeding pets.
- Provides pet food and litter to a vast number of clients that are elderly, disabled or on a fixed income,
- Recommends veterinarians who give discounts to financially challenged families and, depending on the need, will assist directly with veterinary bills,
- Encourages adoption of senior dogs by providing food, supplies and vaccines for the dogs for the rest of their lives,
- Partners with qualified animal rescues to provide low-cost pet food and supplies, and
- Contributes pet food and supplies for disaster relief efforts.
I am proud to volunteer for an organization that does so much towards ensuring that pets are well cared for and I am thrilled to work with a great group of pet lovers who are dedicated to this common cause.

I volunteer at the Hidden Treasures thrift store where items are donated and all proceeds go directly to the services provided by Pet Project. I believe strongly in giving back to the community, so when I retired I wanted to use some of my spare time to do just that. I contacted Pet Project because of my love of animals. Since working there I have met many other animal lovers and their pet companions and I’ve seen firsthand the unique services that Pet Project provides and how much those services mean to their clients. The Pet Project is truly one the most valued nonprofits in our community.
I’m a volunteer and I see on first hand when people called to get help for their Pets.
I have seen how this non profit organization takes in this importance and wonderful organization and feeds hundreds of pets on a daily base. Pet Project for Pets is a wonderful organization, and I feel so honor to be able to help keep pets with their owner,
Thank you from all the PETS you feed❤️❤️

Pet Project is an organization I believe in. I volunteer there driving a fork lift, both unloading 53 ft tractor trailers and loading pet rescues that come there. Everybody there works very hard to take care of the people who come there for pet food and supplies. Sue has one of the biggest hearts around, she loves all kinds of animals and wants to help them all.

Pet project has done so much for the community . Sue Martino , Mike Camardello as well as all the staff and volunteers work diligently to aid so many pet owners and their pets from food , vet bills ,finding homes for abandoned animals .. They are needed and loved by so many of us ……
This organization is there to help. Whatever the need is for all animals. And their care givers. I do very few recommendations. But this is one of them.
The Pet Project has been such a wonderful organization and tremendous support for me and my cats especially when I’ve needed them the most. I feed a feral colony of approximately 30+ cats and the manager and volunteers at Pet Project have always been helpful and very generous with any bulk cat food they have available for me to pick up. Their help has allowed me to continue feeding my large colony for many years and I’m extremely grateful they exist…Thank You for all you do for people and animals in need and for supporting those who are trying to be a part of the solution!
The pet project not only helps people who are sick or can't afford their pets but help homeless dogs in shelters as well. Because of them sponsoring senior dogs at Broward county animal control with food and medical these dogs get a better chance of being rehomed when they are always overlooked because of their age. I have never seen the pet project ever turn someone or their pet away when they were in need !! In addition countless animal rescues rely on them for food and resources. Without them so many animals would never get the help they need and the people running the pet project are sympathetic, kind and just true heroes to so many !!!!!
Recently we had a cat show up at our door that needed help. The otherwise healthy cat needed a full ear canal removal, the Pet Project helped us secure the funds needed to have the surgery done. They are always delivering pet food to low income homes to keep those pets at home and out of shelters. Thank you for what you do.
Approximately 6 years ago I was picking up food for a rescue and was introduced to The Pet Project I saw the work they did and asked to volunteer. The citizens of Florida and Broward County have experienced quite a few catastrophic events during the past 5 yrs and PP has always been there to help the community and then some. Pets are always considered a priority and no matter the circumstance food is provided so that owners can keep their pets. Spay/Neuter is something we advocate and try and provide by referrals for reduce cost. Some of our clients request vetting for their pets, some routine and some life threatening and Pet Project always manages to provide them with ways to make it happen. The recent Ian hurricane has Pet Project funneling food to Fort Myers. We do so many things for the community with so few volunteers. We appreciate Greater Good for helping us, enabling us to help the number of people and pets we do. We also help to place pets in loving homes when our clients have passed away, which isn’t always an easy task. I can honestly say that if Pet Project did not exist many pets would go hungry or would be surrender. We also have programs that encourage people to adopt senior dogs and cats, by provide life time of food. I could go on and on, just know this The Pet Project program is a true advocate for all animals and pets in Florida and beyond. The Director earns the kudos, she rarely says we CAN’T always finding a way to make it happen!!

This nonprofit warms the deepest fibers of my heart. The funds go to people who have found themselves with one of the hardest decisions Life can bring. When illness falls or loss of your job or even aging would not allow you to take care of your beloved pet companion The Pet Project is available.
There is no other safety net that I know of and no one charity more deserving!
Events are held for fundraising that I have taken part. They bring a sense of comraderie and purpose to like minded people while having fun!
The pet project is an amazing organization that helps low income/disability people feed there animals. They also have a thrift store there where you can find amazing things from clothes/furniture/appliances and most of all the best voulentteers.
As a volunteer working with The Pet Project for Pets for the past four years, I am continually impressed with the commitment to clients and to the community in providing much needed pet food/supplies. As a result of executive director, Sue Martino’s, efforts and love of animals, The Pet Project was able to provide dog and cat food to individuals in the community who became suddenly unemployed during the Covid 19 pandemic. This generosity made so many grateful to be able to feed their pets and to The Pet Project for their services.

Hard to believe that is has been a year since I responded to a post in a neighborhood newsletter requesting volunteers for The Pet Project for Pets. As I had just retired from working full time for many years and as both of my parents volunteered their time after retirement, I too wanted to give back to the community. I did not know much about this wonderful charity, but did not take long to witness first hand the help Pet Project provides to individuals, their pets and so many rescues. During my many working hours, so many call or come in asking for assistance because, for various reasons, can no longer afford to feed their dog or cat. I have worked when someone will come in with an injured animal who cannot afford the vet bill or not even sure where to go. Sue Martino and her relationship with local veterinarians will provide such needed services. I have come to work where kittens have been left at the front door and Sue was able to get them placed with a foster that day. I could go on but want to mention the incredible work Sue Martino does for this charity. She does not say no and has helped so many.
I volunteer at Pet Project and work with the clients, the public and rescues. Without Pet Project many animals would go hungry, some might even be surrendered to shelters. Pet Project tried to assist those that need vet care and helps to rehome animals that can no longer be cared for by their owners. With just a few volunteers Pet Project stayed open during the start of the pandemic so that animals would have food to eat. The need has been overwhelming and our Director tries her very best that no animal goes without. Even though the work is hard I stay because it is a worthy cause.

I was first introduce to Pet Project for Pets because of the food they donated to a rescue that I volunteered at full time. I would be the one picking up the food donated by the rescue bank and I really got to see the effort that Pet Project, Sue Martino and the volunteers put out for the community. I decided that I wanted to be part of that effort and I also wanted to give back to Pet Project because of what they provided for my rescue. Well, its been a year and my 8 hour weekly obligation has grown but so have my friendships. Pet Projects has taken in animals found on their doorstep and found them homes, helped the homeless with feeding their animals and provided for vetting of very sick animals when the owners had no or little money to do so, provided foster care when an individual had to be hospitalized and had no one to turn to, found homes for animals when their owner passed and no one else cared. The list goes on and on!!! I can tell you that without Pet Project many of us would not be able to save and keep safe the animals we care for and about. I've been lucky enough to see the smiles on clients faces when they come to pick up their food and share their stories about their beloved pets. I'm a better person for volunteering there. I've included a couple of pics of kitties that Pet Project for Pets saved in the last month.
I volunteered here when I was in high school and absolutely loved it! The Volunteers are super friendly and they always allowed me to help with fundraisers. Not too often you find an meaningful organization that contributes to the community and there animals.
Pet Project is a wonderful community service organization which enables those of limited means to maintain a pet. Everyone knows the benefits animals bring to our lives, for joy and companionship and emotional support.
During these unusually difficult times the Pet Project is increasingly important. AND... their thrift shop is hugely successful in helping recycle furnishings and household items that many otherwise could not afford.
We donate many items to Pet Project and we will continue to support them through contributions, as well.
This non profit is one of the best organizations ive ever seen for helping people with disabilities,low incomes, and or homeless get food for their pets all the way from Miami to palm beach. I feel that this nonprofit does things I couldn't even imagine spreading happiness all over Florida.
I have volunteered with Pet Project for a long time... the work they do with So Many Rescue's and helping SO MANY people is truly outstanding and the deserve all the commendations they receive From the top person (sue) to the gang in the back they are truly Top Notch..... THANK YOU Pet Project for everything
The Pet Project for Pets has made it possible to keep my beloved pets with me at home in spite of my being elderly and disabled and having a very low income. The food and litter they supply for them is a lifeline to their well being and mine.
If you've ever experienced the heartache of having to let go of a pet due to financial hardship, you will appreciate the mission of the Pet Project for Pets: " ... Pet Retention - providing the necessary pet food, pet supplies, pet vaccines and pet medications to enable financially challenged individuals with terminal illnesses, disabilities, senior citizens and those who are temporarily unemployed to keep their companion pets, thus preserving the Human / Animal bond, which is proven to be vitally important. The Pet Project enables hundreds of pets to avoid being surrendered to rescues and remain in their homes with the people who love them but are not able to provide for their basic needs without assistance from our program."
The Pet Project for Pets keeps pets with their people - forever!

The Pet Project for Pets, Inc. is Keeping Pets with Their People! I'm one of 78 volunteers devoting our time to helping pets stay in their homes with the people who love them most. Now serving more than 1,400 clients and growing consistently every year, these pets have avoided being surrendered to shelters due to their owners’ financial hardships, terminal illnesses or disabilities.
Pet Project for Pets is an organization that is very close to my heart. They have once clear mission, that they have not strayed from, is to take care of your voiceless companions who are a great source of comfort in your life, and to make sure they can be with you when you need them the most. It is a small group that works tirelessly to achieve this goal. Recently they have expanded into a Pet Legacy program and also adult pet adoption.
It is an amazing organization that could use some help from you.
This amazing organization works tirelessly to keep over 1500 pets and their disabled or elderly owners together by providing pet food, pet supplies, and annual vaccinations to qualified clients. As the Rescue Bank distributor, Pet Project also stores and supplies 501(c)3 rescue organizations with pet food and supplies donated through GreaterGood.org.
The Pet Project keeps these animals from being surrendered to shelters where the pet is unlikely to find a new home and is more likely to be euthanized.
On August 17, 2019, Sue Martino, Pet Project’s Executive Director, actively participated in the annual “Clear the Shelters” event and launched her creative--and highly successful--pilot program in collaboration with the county animal shelter which has resulted in older dogs finding homes. Since August 17th, this “Senior Paws” program has already gotten eight senior dogs adopted.
As another example of the extraordinary contribution of time and manpower, after Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas, Pet Project's dedicated team immediately went into "overdrive." They accepted goods, loaded those goods, drove them to the airport where the goods were unloaded, weighed, and loaded onto aircraft so Wings of Rescue and IAFW could transport the animal welfare supplies to the islands. The team performed these steps up to 3 times a day during the height of the relief effort, which continues still.
The Pet Project team of staff and volunteers play a critical role in animal welfare and they readily encourage and support other rescue groups’ efforts as well.
I have been following The Pet Project for quite some time now. I have gotten to know Sue Martino Executive Director and due to her hard work and caring for animals she has saved many animals from becoming homeless but able to stay in their home.
The Pet Project is making a big difference in our community here in Broward County.
The volunteers are very dedicated and go out of their way to help Broward County and our animals.
I personally have supported The Pet Project and attended events.
My most recent experience was "Clear the Shelter" at Broward County Animal Care and Adoption where Pet Projects for Pets sponsored dogs that have been with the shelter a long time. They offered to pay for food and vet for the animals if they were adopted and succeeded!
I am an employee in the animal rescue industry and have been a volunteer myself for many years.
I am a volunteer for Pet Project for many years. When I first started, I helped with a few fundraisers, and helped sort things for the thrift store.
Now I do home deliveries for people that are disabled, elderly, can't drive anymore or pick up their own food.
When I can help someone to be able to stay in their own home and keep their precious kitty or dog, it is a wonderful thing. To those special people and creatures, they are each other's world. They truly need each other for survival, and Pet Project provides them this opportunity with home deliveries of food, and vet care.
I deliver once a month, and these people are so grateful.
It does my heart good, when I deliver food to someone that so needs this service that Pet Project provides.
The lady in the wheelchair with her dog, the homebound lady with a cat, the nearly homeless couple in low-income housing. They told me they actually bought their dog from a crack addict for 10.00, just to save him. Then they got assistance from Pet Project to feed him. They couldn't afford food, but saved the dog from that awful life.
Pet Project has people come pick up their own food. Pet Project also provides to all the nonprofit rescues. I can't say enough about how great it is to have Pet Project helping our community by providing food and vet services to those in need.
The Pet Project for pets provides a most valuable service. It keeps pets with their owners when the owners can no longer handle the financial responsibilities of caring for a pet, thereby keeping the pets out of a shelter. So many of these pets are old and would be euthanized. In this time of overflowing pet shelters, every animal that can be kept in a home gives another a chance. And in the end, when you are gone, The Pet Project for Pets has set up a Legacy Program which will take care of your pet after your death and find a new permanent home for your pet. The pet will be looked after until the end of it's life.
There is no other pet-centric non-profit offering so much support to the community in the South Florida area. Here to support pets and their disabled, ill or aging owners in danger of having to relinquish their beloved companions, the Pet Project for Pets, under the leadership of Sue Martino, steps in and saves the day for many a sad and hungry pet.
Now more than ever, the Pet Project for Pets fills an ever widening void that swallows up the doomed pets of owners who are unable to feed them, pay for their veterinary care, keep up their vaccinations, and save their lives once they become ill or injured. The damage to the disabled, ill or elderly owners' spirit from watching their pet go hungry, suffer from illness or lack of routine medical maintenance, from having to say goodbye to a long time companion knowing fully well that their beloved pet most likely will be euthanized, is only equaled by the suffering of the companion animal sensing what is coming.
Hundreds of thousands of animals are neglected, abandoned, hurt or surrendered for termination throughout the country and all over the world. Sue Martino and her team steps in with the Pet Project for Pets and saves whomever can be reached and who comes to the door. The Pet Project for Pets and its team delivers solutions where others merely mouth their outrage yet do nothing.
The Pet Project will feed the pets at risk and help keep them safely at home, providing desperately needed pet support for the aged, unemployed, indigent, ill and disabled members of our community who are trying to hold on to the only companions they have, in many instances. They may have rescued the pet themselves, trying to offer help in turn. If there were a Pet Project for Pets in every town, thousands of pets would be at home, loved and fed, taken care of and allowed to bring continued happiness to their owners, not having to be given up and killed. Those that care would have a place to go and contribute their help.
The head count of pets being taken care of by the Pet Project for Pets grows daily. The need is great and the Pet Project turns no one away who is in dire straits with their pet. The reach of the Pet Project's helping hand into the community does not stop here. Free or almost free pet food and pet supplies are offered to many local animal rescues and TNR (trap neuter release) participants. Free spay/neuters and vacinations are facilitated. Ill pets are referred to participating discounted veterinarians. Through this outreach to other rescues so many more passionate animal advocates are empowered to be effective and not disheartened when facing the incredible need they encounter.
There is also a busy thrift shop, Hidden Treasures, where anyone in the community can bring donations, which are then offered to the public for sale at reasonable prices, creating yet more benefits for the community at large. All proceeds go to feed the animals.
Sue Martino of the Pet Project for Pets is a brilliant leader of a group of dedicated donors, board members, volunteers and program participants, who share the common purpose and goal to alleviate the suffering and untimely demise of our animal companions, who just want to be by our side throughout their lives and ours. There is not one of us here at the Pet Project for Pets who does not have animal companions we love and cherish. The mental and health benefits of being lucky enough to have a companion pet are numerous and significant. The purring of a cat can lower blood pressure. Petting a pet can relieve stress and loneliness. One learns what unconditional love and loyalty feels like, allowing one's heart to open and outflow the same. We benefit as much from living with pets as they do.
Sue Martino and her group of volunteers, donors and co-creators of the Pet Project for Pets have the talent and dedication to take the Pet Project much further yet in its impact on the community at large and with each and every new endangered animal they are able to reach.
I am a volunteer at the Pet Project for Pets in Fort Lauderdale, Fl, formerly a client with disabled animals I tried to save but could not keep without their help. Every day when I see my pets little faces, I think of what the Pet Project for Pets has done for them and myself, and I say my heartfelt thanks for all they do for my little family and so many others in need.
If you resonate with our cause, please donate, volunteer or if you are in South Florida, come by the thrift shop, or just stop by to meet us. Or reach out so we can help. Thank you.
The Pet Project for Pets is a wonderful organization that makes possible for thousands of animals to have a home by helping those who cannot afford basic supplies, but are willing to help and protect animals that need help!
Way to go wonderful people!!
Pet Project for Pets is an amazing organization made up of people dedicated to keeping people and their pets together, forever, regardless of financial difficulty and/or illness.
Pet Project for Pets has helped me with both of my dogs, Leah and Maggie, when I have fallen on hard times. In 2015 my dog, Maggie, became ill and I couldn't afford the medicine she needed to save her life. Pet Project for Pets helped me pay for Maggie's medication, and with their help, I had two more wonderful years with my Waggie Maggie! (Leah on the left, Waggie Maggie on the right).
I am grateful for the help the Pet Project for Pets has given me over the years, and for the work they do every day for the people and pets in our community.
What Pet Project does to help feed the needy stray dogs and cats is Incredible. They constantly strive to help foster homes to make sure they have enough food for their pets.
Sue is highly dedicated aand committed to help much neede dogs and cats. Thanks to her hundreds of pets are fed daily.
I met Sue at Pet Project for Pets when she was just getting started. She works tirelessly to help sick and indigent housebound people stay with their pets, frequently the only friend they have. She also rescues and places dogs and cats and now has an amazing thrift store where all of the donations go to help the animals! She recently had a Blessing for the Animals at the church next door. I've been to many events Sue has had for Pet Project. They are just the greatest! Bless you, Sue, and Pet Project for all you do!
A great organization, that provides an essential and crucial service for people and pets within Broward County. Their work is a labor of love.
I am a volunteer at the thrift store that helps support The Pet Project and I see the happy clients that receive food for their pets. Without this organization many clients would have to surrender their animals. What a great group of dedicated volunteers and staff.
I first hand have seen many clients of The Pet Project receive food that they desperately needed to feed their animals. The Pet Project fills a void that is much needed in south Florida. I see the money I donate help keep pets at home with their loving owners and out of shelters.
I love the work the Pet Project for Pets does, their dedicated volunteers provide much needed food and supplies for pet owners who qualify due to health issues or having fallen on hard times. The pets and the owners benefit physically, mentally and spiritually. The well loved animals are kept healthy and happy, which in turn benefits their human friends.
They often get calls to save animals in distress situations. They find foster homes and save animals everyday. All of the folks I met who work with the Pet Project are kind and knowledgeable. I support them fully and donate funds when ever I can.

We have donated to pet Project for Pets and are very happy with seeing our money put to goods use.
Those who are homebound or suffering with HIV need the support this non-profit offers, pet food is paid for, vet bills are taken care of and most importantly pets are kept with the owners they know and love and NOT put into shelters simply because a loving owner is struggling. That this is a benefit to their clients health and well being is a fact that is not stressed enough. With the tough economy that we have had, many more families have had the need for services and the folks who work and volunteer at The Pet Project for Pets really care and are willing to do what it takes to keep pets with those who love and cherish them. A one of a kind, great organization! Keep up the good work!
Review from Guidestar
I have been involved with The Pet Project as a Rescue, and now a volunteer. I see first hand how the Pet Project helps people in the community care for, thus keep their beloved pets when otherwise could not afford to do so. The Pet Project also assists and helps Dog Rescue organizations with Dog and cat food , litter, etc which helps tremendously, enabling rescue groups to rescue more dogs, as a result. I was so impressed by this organization, the people who are part of it, their compassion and sincerity in helping, that I recently began to volunteer for them. What a great, caring group of people! I’m happy I did, and will continue to do so and play a small part in this wonderful organization!
The Pet Project does keep pets in their homes and allows so many low income , homebound, elderly, disabled, people with severe illnesses be able to stay with their 4 legged family members. As Client Service Director I am constantly seeing how grateful they are, how the Pet Project has helped them keep their pets with them, which sometimes are the only company they have and could not keep if it wasn't for the organization. When so many animals are surrendered for countless reasons, often euthanized...Providing this care not only helps people with their own emotional wellness, pet wellness and nutrition, but keeps families together, saving so many pets lives and allowing for a better world. Saving so many pets from surrender, euthanasia, mal nutrition, poor health, etc. moreover saving FAMILIES, keeping pets in their homes!
The Pet Project has been a blessing to Angelico Cat Rescue. Without them i would have great difficulties feeding my feral colonies. I love them!!!!
I am lucky to be part of this organization that enables individuals who are challenged financially due to disabilities,terminal illness, and seniors be able to Keep their pets. Pets stay at home with their human. This keeps so many pets out of already over crowded shelters and while saving pets lives we are also saving their humans.
This organization is unique because it is a rescue, a shelter, a pet food bank all in one.
We are a small, yet hard working organization dedicated to help control the cat's overpopulation and provide food, litter, medical care and assistance to our elderly and handicap citizens with their cat's needs.
We have been receiving food for the 20+ colonies since 2016 and we have no words to express our gratitude to The Pet Project and their amazing staff. Without their help and support we wouldn't be able to do what we do.
We take in injured and sick xats and as a result we have high vet bills but thanks to the donated cat food we are able to keep helping our feline friends.
Last May we received a call from one of our colony feeders telling us that someone dumped a very small and sick kitten, I ran to the place oy to find out that it was an 8oz tiny baby with a severe infection in both eyes. Thanks to the quick response and immediate treatment we were able to save her right eye but unfortunately her left eye had to be removed.
The most recent case is a 1lb kitten pulled from the engine of a car by a FWCC officer who after finally removong her from the car called me, I ran to the rescue and the next day she was at the vet. Now in just a week she is healing nicely and even gained 1 more pound.
We are a small self funded rescue in Broward County and without Pet Projects we would have an almost impossible task to provide for our colonies and our rescued kits and cats. Donations provide funds for TNR and other medical expenses. Preparing over 150 cat meals per day, we feed on site and in several different communities. I have found the staff at Pet Projects in Wilton Manors to be generous, accommodating and very knowledgeable. We spent a Saturday working with them at the Thrift Store and enjoyed meeting the staff and other rescues. Our thanks to them and the people who support them with the donations.
The Pet Project for Pets goes above and beyond when it comes to helping individuals care for their pets, as well as a number of rescue groups as well! During both fair weather and in the aftermath of hurricanes (Irma) and other natural disasters, The Pet Project for Pets brings the community together to provide food and shelter to the animals in need! Thank you for helping all of our furry friends!
Pet Project has helped not only myself but thousands of people in Broward and Dade county. Feeding over 1000 pets this organization is truly making a difference in the community helping to keep pets in their homes where they are loved by their family. It is a true honor to be associated with this awesome organization.

The Pet Project is an amazing non-profit organization that provides whatever is needed to keep companion animals in their homes. I first learned about Pet Project through Mike Camardello, who is now on the Board. I have donated many items of clothing, furniture and money to help my favorite charity. Being an animal advocate, I am so proud of Mike, the other board members whose names I don't know, Sue, and the many great volunteers that give of themselves to help animals. God Bless the Pet Project for Pets! They also provide pick-up for very large items.
The Pet Project for Pets provides an invaluable service to those who need it the most. I have been working with clients of the Pet Project for Pets over the last year, videotaping their stories. For these people, their pets are often their only companions. Unfortunately, many of these people face giving up their pets due to financial burdens placed on them. With the help of the Pet Project for Pets, these people have been able to continue feeding and caring for their pets in their own homes. The Pet Project for Pets is an incredible service, helping hundreds of people maintain a happy, healthy home with their loving animals.
I have known Pet Project for Pets for about ten years. I have watched them grow and do amazing things. It is sometimes a 24 hour, 7 days a week job but they persevere and never complain. They now feed 1,100 dogs a month through their Food Co-op on a monthly basis. My hat is off to the fine work they do.
I have been a volunteer for almost 1 year... I LOVE what the Pet Project organization is doing...As a volunteer I go out on delivery.. each month and I have taken bags and bags, of Pet food, cat litter and many treats..to our pets home....due to our clients illness..
I have seen and spoken with many of our clients and hearing from the clients
because of the Pet Project they are able to keep their pets at home with them...and not in a shelter... lots of appreciation in each of the clients eyes and their pets..
Pet Project for Pet is a wonderful organization, and as a volunteer I will continued my volunteer service for the LOVE of the Pets and Pet owner...
I have always been an Animal Advocate - a year after retiring I began considering options of activities to keep me occupied. I explored several possibilities - The Pet Project for Pets caught my attention - did my research and decided to give it a try. The Pet Project has afforded me not only the opportunity to help animals in need but to help their human counterparts who for various reasons are in vital need of assistance - both financially and physically. Making monthly deliveries of pet food to those who are home bound ,or without transportation or unable to afford to purchase food and supplies - who without The Pet Project would not be able to keep their pets at home as a vital part of their family.
Helping to keep People in need together with their pets gives me a great sense
of accomplishment - as well as making me thankful for being independent & able to help those less fortunate.
The Pet Project for Pets is a wonderful non organization...It provides foods, med , and Vet Care at a very low cost to me..each month ..as schedule.. my 4 legged baby food bank is delivered to my home..
One of thee BEST things that Pet Project For Pets does.. it allows me and many others ..keep our babies at home... I'm VERY grateful, and thankful.. for what the Pet Project has done in my life ..so I can keep my baby at home..Thank you, Pet Project For Pets ;-)
I am an animal lover, especially dogs. I had a magnificent dog for 17 years, her name was Mallory. After her passing, my career travel demands prevented me from adding a pet to my busy lifestyle.
Having recently moved to the Wilton Manors area, I was introduced to "The Pet Project for Pets". I immediately fell in love with their mission (unique to all other pet related organizations I had been introduced to), to aid the elderly, disabled, terminally ill, etc. to financially afford to keep their pets by providing food, veterinarian services, etc. - especially when the owners need the companionship of their pets most.
My first event to join was the Bowl-A-Thon. I was able to pull together 25 friends, creating 5 bowling teams, to bowl alongside multiple other organized teams. Our collective efforts helped The Pet Project for Pets to surpass their initial goal of $10k and raise $20+k. My extreme belief in this organization motivated me personally to raise the largest total donation amount.
As 2016 President of the South East Florida Apartment Association (SEFAA), I am now trying to explore ways SEFAA can become an intricate part of supporting The Pet Project for Pets.
Presently I am working on recruiting people to join Push Up for Pets, attempting to secure some privately owned gyms to take on the challenge. Additionally, I am recruiting people to join the Paws 4 Paws event at local dog parks. I am planning on recruiting for both of these events from local pet friendly apartment communities and any/all other avenues I can think of.
I am V.P. over 3 corporate divisions for the nations largest tax credit developer/owner/management company, president of the 2nd largest apartment association in the state of Florida and a national keynote speaker for the multi-family housing industry - my life is crazy busy. But this organization captured my undivided attention, proved itself to be extremely worthy and deserved to have me reorganize my priorities and make it a top priority in my life!
Proactively keeping pets out of shelters, providing assistance to those in need, insuring pet owners their pets love when they need it most, fostering pets who unfortunately lose their owners and finding pets their forever home - truly a noble cause that deserves all of our attention and resources.
LOVE THIS ORGANIZATION!
My two hairy babies are very grateful for having a full belly everyday because of the food provided by Pet Project. (And so am I)
They never turn anyone away that has a need and are 100% dedicated to all animals in need.They definitely walk the walk...
Without the recent help providing food for my indoor/outdoor 8 rescue cats I would have had to take them to a shelter.My fixed income could not cover the expense and have not been able to find pt work.They are dedicated volunteers and help so many struggling to keep
their pets part of their life.I am telling my neighbors who need help too.
Thank you for the kind, efficient, and effective services you provide. Thank you for keeping the bond between pets and owners strong! Please continue to let the community know how to help keep supporting this nonprofit!

I donate to Pet Project for Pets often as I believe in this organization's ability to help the community. I encourage others to donate what they can to this organization as well. Keeping the bond between pet owners and pets is something the Pet Project for Pets continues to spread education about and continues to promote. Thank you Pet Project for all that you do!
THE PET PROJECT FOR PETS Saved my life had I not gotten a care dog when I did I would not be here today !
They gave me the opportunity since I could barely afford to feed myself well enough a Dog!! Because i was Diagnosed with AIDS and Kaposi;s Sarcoma stage 4 Cancer systemic that covered 98% of my body in July of 2008, Not only scared externally and Mentally as well my Doctors and Therapist both said I needed to adopted a care Dog.. just after being on Aggressive Chemotherapy and Radiation for a year and in total seclusion which turned me into pretty much a Hermit. that would not leave the house just to Doctors and home ,
When got him "Lucky" he in turn gave me something to live for something alive that relied on me ! you see this nonprofit The pet Project for pets is Powerful not only do they help keep a dog alive, but they keep Humans alive as well,
I found this amazing Shih Tzu named "Lucky" very appropriately, He brought life back to the lifeless and broken me.
Without THE PET PROJECT FOR PETS and Sue Martino I would not be typing this today !! nor doing what I do today, and that's Advocate for people with HIV and AIDS I sit on the Planning Council and almost all Committees at (HIVPC) yes* We gather Information about what people living with HIV/AID needs,
*To decide how much Money should be spent for HIV/AIDS related services,
* To evaluate whether or not these services are meeting the needs of the people living with HIV/AIDS ..And we always could use more volunteers from the Community, I also hold a seat on (SFAN ) South Florida AIDS network and that is very helpful you meet everyone from all parts of the HIV/AIDS world, and yes while I only live on Disability and take 41 Meds a day to stay alive!! I could not be happier doing something that helps others, So to Sue Martino and her crew and Jerry Schultz and his heart of Gold who he and his crew at Mona's in july just raised $14,00.00 dollars for the pet project and many other. I say Thank you from Bottom of my heart !!
We are Living in a world of people who don't know what the word Empathy even is anymore well I am here to tell you it pulsates through their every vane and hearts
The mission of this organization is so simple and the need they address is so obvious it's hard to believe there aren't others like it. But there arent. This passionate bunch of volunteers (there's only one paid person) has made a difference in the lives of thousands of pets and the owners who might have had to give them up due to age, illness or hardshi but for Pet Project's work. Support their work. Visit their thrift shop. Volunteer.
After learning about the great work the Pets project does for needy people in our community, I decided to turn my annual pool party into a fundraiser. We're on our 3rd year and keep raising more money each time. Sue, the director, makes it supper easy with promotional material. I was given a nice letter perfect for use as an IRS receipt. Don't hesitate to get involved with this great charity.
I found the Pet Project by chance and it has given me another way to help more animals. I foster and do other volunteer work to rehabilitate animals and find them homes.
This great non-profit does what no one else does, they help people keep their pets when faced with difficult circumstances. Keeping families together prevents the trauma to the pet, the grief of having to give your dog to a shelter/rescue and is less expensive for taxpayers.
The thrift store, Hidden Treasures, is an undiscovered gem in Fort Lauderdale.
Find a treasure and help animals!
The Pet projects is a great organization . I went in the hospital for heat surgery the pet projects fostered my dog at no charge. It was a relief to know that my pet companion was well cared for while I was incapacitated. if not for the pet projects the cost would have been very expensive might not have been able to afford it since I am disabled am very grateful to the Pet projects for their invaluable assistance in my time of need. besides they offer monthly food bank services every month and canine and feline vaccines. Thanks Pet projects
I volunteer with Pet Project and have been a volunteer with many other animal groups in the past. I would rate Pet Project as one of the best. They address a unique concern in the community - helping people in financial crises (mostly due to medical conditions) feed and care for their pets. Without Pet Project, these animals would add to the overwhelming shelter population. The only funding is through donations and a rare grant or two. I would love to see this organization gain more recognition in the community, so that it can continue to grow to meet the ever increasing demand they are facing.
I visited the thrift store run by Pet Project for Pets and was delighted. The store had a great selection of merchandise and a really really nice new boutique. I love supporting a non profit that has such a fantastic goal - keeping people and their pets together!!
Without the support of the Pet Project many terminally ill or disabled people would not be able to care for their pets. This organization helps both animals and people.
What a unique & innovative approach to rescue. When chronic/terminal illness strikes, The Pet Project for Pets intervenes BEFORE the crisis keeping beloved animals at home with the humans that cherish & need them. Presently, more than 1050 animal & their pet people have been spared the heartbreak of separation and in so doing, helps lessens the burden on over crowded shelters. The Pet Project supplements pet food & pet care costs. A smart solution to a deeply disturbing situation.
I was introduced to the Pet Project by the Franciscans at my parish of Saints Francis and Claire Church. The Pet Project is a unique non-profit that goes above and beyond to ensure that folks can keep their closest, most-loving companions with them when they need them the most. These companions, of course, are people's pets. What could be harder than dealing with illness or hardship and then learning that that pain will be compounded because you have to surrender your pet. Pet Project stops that from happening. Pet Project's vocation is compassionate and kind. Every day, Sue Martino, along with the Pet Project Board, aspire to the mission of helping People and saving Pets.
I am one of the Volunteers who delivers pet food to the Ill. disabled, and financial strap once a month. Since I started almost a year ago I have made some nice new friend /people. They appreciate the food and the Pets do too.
The Hidden Treasures thrift shop supporting "Pet Project for Pets "has great finds and the other volunteer are very nice people and assist the shopper in finding the deals
The Other events like doggie pool parties and dog wash are fun and well attended
I have been volunteering with Pet Project for about a year now helping with publicity outreach. I have worked with numerous non profit organizations and Pet Project has the most heart of any of them. I have never seen so many people so dedicated to their cause. It is such an important organization that helps so many people and I am very proud to be a part of it.
I was introduced to The Pet Project for Pets through St. Francis Church...a parishioner was looking for a temporary foster home for his cat because he had to go into the hospital. The Pet Project found a temporary home, unfortunately this person did not come out of the hospital and Pet Project found a new home for the cat. This cat was kept out of the shelter system and possible euthanasia. They also provided vaccinations free of charge so this cat would remain healthy in her new home.
I worked in the shelter system locally for years and am very aware of how many animals are put to sleep on a daily basis. It is truly heart shredding.. In many cases there are no other alternatives except to surrender.
I can't imagine having to give up a "family member " . It is a proven statistic that our pets keep us healthy and to not have my pet when I returned home is unimaginable.
The Pet Project for Pets fills a badly needed void in the system that has for the most part been totally ignored. They provide food, vet care and temporary foster care .
I now volunteer...I have been fostering a male cat named Charlie for 3 months after his owner was violently broken into and his apartment destroyed...he himself is living in a shelter trying to get back on his feet...he will get his precious pet back when ready.
The Pet Project for Pets fills a need for our community that no one else does.
Pet Project For Pets was instrumental in keeping my dog Rudy and me together when no one else was able to help us. it is the best organization "that helps keeps pets in their homes" and can't say enough great things about Sue Martino, Felix, Joel and all the volunteers that help out at all the events and the thrift store!!! There are over 1000 pets that are able to still be a family in their homes that's to Pet Project mine being included!!! God Bless Sue and the whole organization. That's why I'm not only a client but a volunteer as well :-) all the best always, Michael and Rudy!!Z, ruff ruff ruff
I cant rate this agency as a 0 star, so I am forced to rate it as a 1 star. I am a former client of PP4P and when I found out they got rid of Henry Laster that was the best volunteer this agency ever had to their name I immediately told them to cancel my services. Henry Laster really knew how to treat someone. He always returned phone calls unlike the Executive Director Sue Martino. She never returns any phone calls. Henry used to work 7 days a week until his former roommate in Oakland Park, FL. got to them. Henry was a great Client Services representative. I have told many other people that I know to stay away from this agency. They have also stolen property that belonged to Henry Laster such as a netbook, a laptop, digital camera, digital converter box for TV's, antenna's for TV's, a DVD player. DVD's, money, amongst other things. When he called to get his stuff the staff person by the name of Maggie Martino aka Sue Martino's lover told him that none of his sh*t(her exact words)was there. Then he called back and asked to speak with Sue Martino herself and there was a person by the name of Felix DeBruin that answered the phone and he told Henry Laster that he was no longer a client, he was never to step foot on the property again or he would be arrested, and they never want to see him again.
I am the Executive Director for Pet Project for Pets since 2009. The invaluable work that we do for our clients and their pets is immeasurable. We provide pet food, pet supplies and pet medications and vaccines to those individuals who are financially challenged due to illness, disability, aging, economy so that they can KEEP THEIR PETS. It is amazing when clients pick up their pet food and supplies and tell us their stories of how much we have helped them in their lives. They are so grateful for our services. Imagine being diagnosed with a terminal illness and you now have to choose between your own medication or feeding your beloved pet companion...or imagine being that pet who now will have to be surrendered to a shelter and live in a cage wondering what they did wrong...this is what we at Pet Project for Pets make sure does not happen. We keep pets and their humans happily together in their own homes thus preserving the so important Human / Animal bond.
i helped with a bake sale to help raise money to help buy medicine and food for the pets. In this bake sale i heard lots of people say to me how great the pet project for pets has helped them keep there animals.
The pet project for pet provides a wonderful and much needed service to the community. By providing pet food & supplies to people who are medially or financially challenged they enabled them to keep their pets thus keeping animals out of shelters and their home.
I found out about Pet Project for Pets at a parking lot sale. After a short time of checking it out I found it to be an excellent charity. They're helping a lot of people who if we didn't help would lose their animal(s). That's the main reason I volunteer. I was in a situation a short time ago where I had to figure out how to keep my dog. I wish I had known about an organization like this then.
I must tell you that when people learn more about this organization they are struck in the heart. We are the Pinnacle for maintaining The Human/Companion Animal Bond. This is done by helping ones who are financially burdened or Medically challenged and my lose the one thing which may be only what they really have besides material objects. By us being able to help them keep their pet..They live happier and healthier daily lives..
The Pet Project provides the means for people who are financially or medically challenged to be able to keep their pets. In so doing it keeps pets out of shelters or worse while preserving the human / animal bond. The Pet Project is a unique organization and I personally experienced the importance of it's work when I delivered pet food to a few of the disbled clients and listened to their stories about how much their pets mean to them. One client told me that an alarm had gone off in her home while she was sleeping, her dog woke her up and in the dark guided her to the front door. Fortunately, there was no emergency in this case but had there been it was her pet who would have saved her. When I have looked into the eyes of the peole we serve and their pets I can see the greatfulness they have for what we do at Pet Project and for me it is the most rewarding work I have ever done.
Tell your story here and help others understand this charity I spend one day a week giving my time and helping out at the Pet Project Thrift Store, and I'm also involved with their community outreach projects. This is a great cause and i have supported this organization for years, both personally and through the business I work for. I hope they continue to support those in need and to grow larger in the years to come.
The Pet Project is a valuable service for both pets and ill people who want to keep them. It enhances both animal and human lives. The terminally ill are often under served and forgotten about in this country (as are the elderly)I think the Pet Project deserves more funding and media attention for the wonderful work they do. They deliver food, provide vaccinations and many other services that keep the pets healthy and safe. The human animal bond is invaluable in many folks lives and for the cost of a few cans of cat food we can make such a difference.
I have a pet rescue, so we get people giving up their pets all the time but not everyone wants to, they just need financial help. The Pet Project has been able to help some of the terminally ill people keep their pets by providing pet food and veterinarian care. For pet lovers not being to have you fur kid is heartbreaking especially when you are going through a devastating time. The Pet Project also places the pets in qualifies home when their owners pass. Their cause has blessed many people and pets all over the country!
I first heard about this wonderful organization from a volunteer. She shared that someone she knew was beaten serverly and was unabe to care for his pet. The Pet Project for Pets took the man's dog in, cared for it and placed it in a forever home. The original owner had no hope of recovery and eventually pased away. I attended a number of fundraisers and found the groups organizer's to be wonderful, kind, caring people providing loving care to pets, when the owner was unable to care for them. I am so glad this organiztion exists, as I could easily find myself in need of their services, as a single person. When I heard they have a thrift shop, I cleaned my closets out and donated a huge amount of goods. They came out and collected everything, even though I offered to deliver it myself. I am wiling to do anything in my power to support the Pet Project for Pets.
I have worked at several outdoor street festivals where the pet project has a booth.I met many people who have been helped, or who had a friend helped by this organization.
Pet project is unique in its approach. They provide pet food, pet vaccines and flea medication, in home pet care, and funds for vet care to terminally ill, disabled, elderly, crime victims, and people who have lost their jobs. In this way, Pet Project preserves the Human/Animal bond, which is documented to have healing benefits. The pet remains in a loving home, instead of a shelter, or prematurely euthanized. Pet Project has administrative costs underwritten, so 100% of donations goes to client services.
