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DUE TO THE PASSING OF ZAPP FOUNDER STEVEN FORMAN, ZAPP IS NO LONGER ACTIVE.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

VICTORY! FOR THE SAN FELIPE 54!

San Felipe Animal Lovers Prevail.

I received a call this afternoon from ZAPP's attorney, Carmen Nuñez, informing me that Mexicali Animal Control is releasing our 53 dogs (one more was picked up by its owner) that were abducted last Friday during a "roundup" that was destined to result in the euthanasia of any dogs that were not claimed.

This is not only a victory for the dogs, but it's also a victory for all of us that are committed to the life and well being of all animals, and who abhor needless euthanasia.

San Felipe's Mayor, Hazael Sierra Castillo is committed to working with ZAPP in the future, and after we sign documents tomorrow, we will be assured that no "roundups" will happen in the future without our involvement; and no more dogs will have to be traumatized
in this inhumane way ever again!

I knew you wanted this information as quickly as possible,
and I'm happy to be the messenger.
ZAPP and SFAR are both"no-kill" organizations,
so avoiding needless euthaniasia at any cost,
is critical to the work we do, and our vision
and committment to animals.
