OUR MISSION & VISION 

Project Street Vet (PSV) is a nonprofit public charity that empowers veterinary teams to deliver professional, non-judgmental medical care & support to pet families experiencing homelessness and housing vulnerability. Our vision is to create a world where veterinary care is accessible to every pet family. The organization is built on a simple promise: No Judgment. Just Help.

Our work is grounded in compassion and the belief that caring for pets also means caring for people. We honor the human–animal bond as a source of companionship, stability, and unconditional love, and we center that bond in everything we do.

Founded by veterinarian Dr. Kwane Stewart, our PSV community includes more than 50 volunteer veterinarians, over 100 veterinary technicians and assistants, hundreds of community volunteers, and a small but dedicated staff of three. 

Currently, PSV has teams providing services in: Los Angeles, Long Beach, Orange County, Riverside, & San Diego (CA), Atlanta (GA), Orlando & Webster (FL), and New York City (NY). Each location is supported by local volunteer veterinary professionals who bring compassionate care directly to pet families experiencing homelessness.

OUR VALUES

• Inclusion: We champion the inclusion of pets as part of the family unit and all pet families having equitable access to professional healthcare.

• Compassion: We believe in demonstrating kindness and compassion in our interactions with each other and all those we meet, without judgement.

• Inspiration: We are committed to inspiring communities everywhere to cultivate humanity and increase direct access to healthcare for the whole pet family unit.

• Empathy: We embody empathy in understanding others’ perspectives, treating them with dignity and striving to make them feel heard in the workplace and out in the community.

• Collaboration: We value sharing of knowledge, resources and tools with individuals and organizations that align with our values and goals so we can do more collectively.

• Professionalism: We aspire to the highest standards of care and conduct in all our work.

“It doesn’t matter what your situation is or what your background or past is — I see a pet in need, and I see a person who cares for them dearly who just needs some help.” - Dr. Kwane Stewart
