The San Diego Animal Support Foundation is a private, volunteer dependent, nonprofit (501c3) organization dedicated to improving the welfare of animals in overburdened, under funded local shelters and rescues through events, fundraising campaigns, and a car donation program.

Our mission is to is to actively promote the proper care and treatment of animals, as well as encourage the adoption of shelter/rescue pets with the cooperation of the local media. Additionally, we help local rescue organizations pay for spay/neuter surgeries, fund imperative animal welfare projects, recruit volunteers, and maintain a small medical fund to help pets in need of emergency treatment. We support more than 28 local nonprofits. With the exception of one part time employee, all SDASF members are volunteers.

SDASF is sponsoring a special 1400 mile bicycle trek from San Diego to Vancouver! This is a special event to raise funds for selected pets in need of extensive veterinary care. Please visit the Ride For Life page for more information or to make a donation to one of our featured pets.

Your generous car and financial donations are critical in helping the Foundation in its efforts to support the needs of the local animal welfare community. Please call 619-847-8755. We'll take your car, working or not!
