!! NOTICE !!

DUE TO THE PASSING OF ZAPP FOUNDER STEVEN FORMAN, ZAPP IS NO LONGER ACTIVE.

Please continue to support the animals. In San Felipe, "Volunteers for Indigent and Vulnerable Animals" or VIVA has been formed to fill the void left by Steven's passing. It's a collaboration of volunteers from the two former animal care groups, ZAPP and San Felipe Animal Rescue.


For more information on VIVA visit their website.

ZAPP is an acronym for the "Zero Additional "PUP-ulation Project". ZAPP was founded by Steven Forman in 2006. We are a no-kill organization operating in San Felipe, Baja, California. ZAPP is committed to spaying and neutering up to 200 animals a month, so we can finally achieve zero additional population growth and stop city wide roundups forever, which end in euthanasia of our innocent stray and indigent street population. Through our "SHOES FOR SPAYS" Project we take donations of gently worn to brand new men's or women's shoes and turn them into money for sterilization surgeries, using our shoe store on eBAY. The link for the store can be found on the right side of this page, by scrolling down.
The ZAPP Spay/Neuter Project deals with the most immediate problem at hand, which like all cities and towns in Mexico, is fertility. Please send your resell-able shoes to: "SHOES FOR SPAYS", 95 EAST HIGHWAY 98, CALEXICO CA 92232.

Hi Everyone! Good News!

Once again, thru the efforts of Diane & Sam Grubb, and Donna Roberts, ZAPP now has a safe, secure place to keep puppies and kittens. As you know, the San Felipe Animal Rescue site in Las Minitas is officially closed and we were told that no more dogs can go thru the gate. We were also told that any puppies that do not get adopted at the new PETCO store in el Centro this weekend would come back to San Felipe and have no place to go.

Well, thanks to Sam, Diane and Donna, we now have a temporary facility right on the highway heading north, just out of town. The Grubbs and Donna Roberts own a property there that was built specifically for a couple that never moved in. He is a Vet from Sacramento, so there are eight custom built existing concrete kennels that will be awesome, complete with water and cyclone security gate. Someone already lives in the house at night, which is also ideal....

We do need a couple of things done right away to make it ready for immediate puppy and kitten occupancy. The space is small and well built, but needs shelter from the sun...there are some corrugated metal panels that could be a roof, and the kennels, although segrated from one another, need closures on the front of each one, so puppies and kittens do not mix and co-habitate....if you can give us a hand, please respond ASAP and we'll meet at the new

"ZAPP PUPPY HABITAT"
