The George Project is a veterinarian-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization built in phases. We're starting with low-cost, dignified euthanasia for horses whose people can't afford it — and growing toward vaccination clinics, a full-service pet clinic, and a horse rescue where quality of life always comes first.
Donations are processed securely by Zeffy.
Our mission
Veterinary care has become impossibly expensive. For a horse owner facing the end of a beloved animal's life, the cost of humane euthanasia can be out of reach. For a family with a sick dog or cat, a single bill can mean giving up a pet.
The George Project meets those moments with low-cost, compassionate care — starting with horses, and growing to the dogs and cats that keep so many of us company.
How we'll grow
Each phase depends on funding and our ability to grow. We move forward as donations, grants, and the community behind us allow.
Low-cost, dignified euthanasia for horses owned by seniors 70 and over, people in hardship, and horses pulled from auction in need of immediate euthanasia. Prior to euthanasia, every horse is evaluated by a veterinarian to be deemed ethically eligible. Low-cost general evaluations for horses pulled from auction within five days.
Affordable vaccination clinics for dogs and cats, so preventive care stays within reach for the families who need it most.
A full-service clinic for dogs and cats, subsidized by donations and grants so everyday people can keep the pets who depend on them.
A farm devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming horses — where a veterinarian's judgment about quality of life is final.
Why us
Every decision at The George Project comes from a veterinarian first. We're built so care is never delayed, and so an animal's comfort and dignity always come before anything else.
Led by a veterinarian, with a second veterinarian and veterinary technicians on our board — so care is never delayed and decisions come from the people most qualified to make them.
A veterinarian's judgment guides every step, directly. There's no one standing between the animal and the care it needs.
When a horse's quality of life can't be restored, we choose comfort and dignity. We won't ask an animal to endure painful procedures that won't meaningfully improve its life.
Give
Donations and grants are how we move from one phase to the next — from a humane end for a horse today, toward vaccination clinics, a full-service pet clinic, and a horse rescue tomorrow.
