Mission

Diesel’s FootPrint provides financial aid and caregiver support to families with chronically ill dogs and cats in Santa Clara County and beyond.

Vision

A community where families with chronically ill dogs and cats have the resources, support, and stability to stay together.

Values

Safety & Ethical Practice

We prioritize the safety and well-being of pets and families in everything we do, using humane, ethical methods.

Compassion w/o Judgement

We believe caregivers are doing the best they can with the resources available to them & deserve compassion and support.

Equitable Access to Care

We support families experiencing financial hardship so every pet and their family get the care they need and deserve.

Caregiver Empowerment

We provide families with the education, support,  and resources they need to care for their chronically ill dog or cat.
