The Pets of Project Unleashed invite you to join the Foundation in their mission.
The Miami Veterinary Foundation kicked off the Pet Food Pantry at Project Unleashed on Sunday April 28th, 2019.Our first donation was from Royal Canin. We were blessed with a donation of an SUV full of Royal Canin dog and cat food. This donation was sufficient to provide pet food support to all the pet families who attended Project Unleashed in April. We are working hard to continue to provide a source of pet food support. Individual donors who like to put meals in the tummy of those pets in need click here - and thanks !
PROJECT UNLEASHED Pet Wellness Clinic
Project Unleashed, funded primarily by The Batchelor Foundation, is a free for qualified low income and homeless pet owner wellness and basic veterinary care clinic, state licensed as a Limited Services Practice, VL#238. The clinic is held on the third Sunday of every month except in December. Project Unleashed is a program administered by the Miami Veterinary Foundation with the support of multiple collaborative partners. In 2019 Project Unleashed served 545 pets, in 2018 we served 678 and in 2019 more than 800 pets were seen, which would have otherwise not received basic wellness care. We provide vaccines, heart worm testing, heart worm prevention, flea & tick prevention, deworming, ear cleaning, nail trims, medicated shampoo’s and through our partnership with Miami Dade Animal Services, free spay or neuter services.
We are hosted by Camillus House Homeless shelter. Camillus House provides Project Unleashed with a large office space that accommodates a separate waiting room and 3 exam cubicles. We are fully staffed by volunteers. We never have less than 3 volunteer veterinarians. Our veterinary technicians are volunteer students from the Miami Dade College Certified Veterinary Technician program who receive their clinic training via Project Unleashed. Miami Pet Assistance Coalition offers volunteer support with registration the day of the clinic, pursuing and keeping the registration for spay & neuter services, transport to surgery appointments for residents without transportation means, as well as other various duties that arise.
On a busy day veterinarians see more than 35-40 clients and their pets, sometimes amounting to more than of 80 dogs and cats on any given Sunday. Dade residents are served on a first come, first served sign in basis.
