PIPPI PROJECT DREAM TEAM

Kobe Henro proudly announces the launch of PIPPI PROJECT,
a spay and neuter clinic in northern Puerto Rico in partnership with Puerto Rico-based, Miracles For Satos Rescue.

In March 2025, 123 animals were spayed/neutered. We are already planning and raising funds for PIPPI PROJECT v2 – Same team different animals for fall 2025.

PIPPI PROJECT is named in loving memory of Pippi Kaufman a sato, who lived a charmed life and was the loyal companion of Helaine’s amazing and wonderful parents.

The Pet Food Bank

Our plan seems to be working.

To date, we have hand-delivered over 100,000 pounds of donated pet food, which translates into roughly 223,000 meals since our launch in October 2020. On average, we flip between 1500-2100 pounds monthly. That number is growing and our plan is to double our donations by the end of 2025.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING US FILL THOSE BOWLS!

SOUTHERN TRANSPORT MEETUPS IN CT

We supply southern transports and Puerto Rican sanctuaries with dog and cat food. The pet overpopulation epidemic is especially evident in southern states/territories and food donations go a long way, which enables shelters to allocate more of their budget towards medical services and housing. 

Southern transports drive up north bi-weekly in a van full of dogs and cats to New England shelters and private adopters. There is a greater demand for pet adoptions up north and once these pets are comfortably placed at the local shelter or picked up by their new family, we stock the transport van with pet food and treats to bring back home for the southern dogs and cats.

DELIVERIES TO Local Food Pantries

It is challenging enough to worry about feeding yourself and family these days, but how about those four-legged family members? Food pantries are a critical component for a resourceful community and Kobe Henro is there to help out and provide pet food for their clients with hungry pets at home.

When the opportunity arises, we will gladly escort a homeless animal or two on their freedom flight to their new family in Boston. It is an absolute honor to be a part of this life saving journey. Although flight transport is not a part of the Kobe Henro mission, it is a vital piece of the rescue process.
