Visit the shelter for an hour or more per week to pet and play with some of the cats awaiting new homes. It's important work- the more social time the cats get, the more friendly they become, and the more likely they are to be adopted!

Mission Statement
Our primary objective is to make sure there are no homeless pets on the Island. We accomplish this by running an efficient lost and found operation and finding new homes for relinquished dogs and cats. In an effort to prepare for Island-wide emergencies, we have started a new micro-chipping program. All animals that we adopt out are micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and are current on their vaccinations.
Description
Vashon Island Pet Protectors, established in 1984, works each day to improve the quality of life for companion animals on Vashon Island. Affectionately known Island wide as 'VIPP," Vashon Island Pet Protectors is a no-kill and non-profit 501c3 animal rescue organization run by compassionate and animal loving volunteers. In so many ways, VIPP offers the best possible resource for people and animals to make a connection on Vashon Island.
VIPP provides shelter, food and medical care to lost, abandoned and/or relinquished dogs and cats who are waiting for loving and forever new homes. Yes, VIPP is a no-kill organization. No dog or cat has ever been euthanized except on the recommendation of a veterinarian to spare it further suffering. Our foster families and volunteers have made this enviable record possible.
