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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Need help?
