West Coast Pet Project
West Coast Pet Project is a non-profit rescue organization located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
They are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs from high kill shelters on the west coast. Due to overpopulation, these shelters destroy about 87% of their intake per month. They take these dogs out of horrid shelter conditions and put them in loving foster homes where they are brought back to mental, physical and emotional health in a loving home environment before finding them forever homes in and around the Vancouver area.
The West Coast Pet Project’s ability to continue to rescue is due in part to the generous support of individuals and donors who believe in what they do.
