The Pet Project Launches Mobile Wellness Van to Bring Veterinary Care Directly to Seniors and Underserved Communities
Wilton Manors, FL — The The Pet Project for Pets one of South Florida’s largest pet-retention organizations, is proud to announce the launch of its Mobile Wellness Van, a transformative initiative designed to bring essential veterinary and wellness services directly to pets and their owners who are unable to travel for care.
Through years of direct service to low-income seniors and vulnerable individuals, The Pet Project recognized a growing and urgent need: many clients lack reliable transportation or are completely homebound or immobile. Faced with this reality, the organization reached a simple but powerful conclusion — if clients cannot get to the veterinarian, then the veterinarian must come to them.
“Our mission has always been about keeping pets and people together,” said Sue Martino, Executive Director of The Pet Project. “When we realized that transportation barriers were preventing some of our most vulnerable clients from accessing basic veterinary care, we knew we had to change the model. The Mobile Wellness Van allows us to remove that barrier entirely.”
The Mobile Wellness Van will provide on-site services including wellness exams, vaccinations, preventative care, basic medical treatment, and referrals for additional veterinary services as needed. In addition to serving existing Pet Project clients, the van will travel to underserved neighborhoods and low-income senior living communities throughout Broward County and Miami-Dade County, expanding access to care for pets whose owners may otherwise go without.
For many seniors living on fixed incomes, companion animals are a primary source of emotional support and stability. Without access to affordable veterinary care, those bonds are often put at risk. By delivering care directly into communities, The Pet Project’s Mobile Wellness Van helps prevent unnecessary pet surrender while supporting both animal welfare and human well-being.
“This van is more than a vehicle — it’s peace of mind,” Martino added. “It means a senior doesn’t have to choose between their own limitations and the health of a beloved pet.”
The Mobile Wellness Van is expected to begin regular service in 2026 and will operate as part of The Pet Project’s broader commitment to long-term pet retention, senior support, and community-based solutions.
