STOP — Save The Orphaned Pets operates as a 501(c)(3) animal rescue in Chula Vista along the Broadway corridor, running a foster-based network that rehabilitates and rehomes abandoned dogs and cats across San Diego County. The rescue pulls animals from overcrowded municipal facilities, working alongside Chula Vista Animal Services at the city's Beyer Way shelter to reduce euthanasia rates for adoptable pets. Each intake undergoes veterinary evaluation, spay/neuter surgery, microchipping, and age-appropriate vaccination before placement in a volunteer foster home for behavioral assessment. Each placement includes vaccination records, microchip registration paperwork, and a breed-specific care sheet covering nutrition and coat maintenance — resources that align with the grooming protocols at neighborhood shops such as Barking Spot. The rescue-foster-adopt pipeline routes every animal through a multi-stage medical protocol including FVRCP and DHLPP core vaccination series, fecal parasite screening, heartworm testing for dogs over six months, and FIV/FeLV combo testing for every cat entering the program.
