Welcome
You're Pawesome for stopping by! There's lots of great info on what we do, who we help, why we do it and ways you can contribute and help make an impact in the lives of dogs and our community. Drop us a line and say hello! We promise we'll get right back to you.
Who We Are
Winston Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to support San Diego animal rescue groups and shelters.
After losing my beloved bulldog, Winston in 2019, I wanted to share my story of how I grew through grief and turned loss into a legacy by helping other dogs who are in need. I created and filmed a mini-documentary and premiered it to an audience of 45. In it, I shared the story of love and commitment as Winston aged and we ultimately had to make the difficult decision to relieve him of his pain. In the days and months that followed, the pain of losing him was so intense that I didn't think I would ever stop crying or walking around like I was a zombie. After 3 long, sleepless and tear-filled months, I visited with a dear friend and his senior bulldog. That visit woke something up inside of me and the Winston Project was born.
We know that rescue groups and shelters are spread very thin with all the work they do in the field rescuing and saving dogs from neglect and abuse. They don't have time nor the means to fundraise. That's where Winston Project comes in. Our goal is to raise funds to disperse to local rescue groups through grant requests with the money going directly to helping the dogs in need.
We love dogs and our mission is to make a difference in their lives... one dog at a time.
We Made The News!
On June 7, 2022, we premiered the mini-documentary, The Winston Project, to an intimate audience of just 45 people. We raised $7K to benefit SoCal Bulldog Rescue and Project Save-A-Bullie.
Our Goals
In our first year, we raised $28,000 and were able to help dogs like Maya, Ramon and a kitten named Skippy among others.
Our goal for 2024 is to raise $100,000! As a community, WE CAN DO THIS!!
But we need your help:
- Please consider sponsoring our upcoming Casino Night Fundraiser on May 30th. (Variety of sponsorship opportunity levels available.)
- Become a monthly donor. For as little as $19/month, you can help save the life of an animal in need. And as a thank you, we'll send you a Winston Project t-shirt letting everyone know you saved a life.
We also will be working to build out our plan to bring:
- mobile veterinary spay/neuter programs to lower income neighborhoods
- Pet therapy programs into hospitals
- Educational platforms to teach children the proper way to care for and treat dogs.
Thank You for your Support!
Your support and contributions will enable us to make a real difference in the lives of the abused, abandoned and neglected dogs of San Diego. Every little bit counts! We appreciate your support & donations.
We (and the dogs) are forever grateful!
