Dorell Sackett

Director

“I am proud to be a part of the Spay-Neuter Action Project and empower people to be responsible pet owners. SNAP improves the welfare of pets, people and the community here in San Diego. Reaching 90,000 dogs, cats, and rabbits altered in San Diego County aboard our 38-foot high-volume surgical mobile unit, along with educating scores of families locally on the importance of proper pet care is a milestone for pets in this county.”

Joy Zakarian

Grants Program Manager

“I am excited for the opportunity to use my grant writing experience to benefit animals and SNAP. Spaying and neutering our pets is the key to reducing the numbers of unwanted and homeless animals. As costs for private veterinary care rise, low-cost services like what SNAP provides are more important than ever. SNAP depends on donations and grants to make this work possible. I am happy to be part of the team and grateful to all donors.” (Joy is pictured here with her sidekick, Mr Tibbs.)

Bill Bondshu

COEL: Community Outreach, Education, and Legislation

I was honored to accept an opportunity to join the SNAP San Diego in order to focus on enhancing the human-pet bond and reducing the number of homeless pets throughout the San Diego Community. At SNAP, we believe every pet deserves a long and happy life in a home with people who love, cherish and depend on their companionship. I look forward to using my experience in legislation, sales, development, and human relations in combination with my love for animals to contribute meaningfully to my new role with SNAP and the community at large. Together with like-minded pet lovers, we can ensure a healthier and more humane future for all members of our San Diego Community.

Lead Scheduler
Hi there! I’m Shelly Villalobos, and I’m part of SNAP’s amazing scheduling team. With years of customer service and administrative experience under my belt, I thrive on creating positive experiences for our clients. I’m also a proud mom of three energetic kids, which keeps my life full of joy and adventure. When I’m not busy at work, you can find me spending time with my family at the beach! I’m excited to bring my passion and expertise to everything I do, and I look forward to connecting with you!

Melina Lavullis

Scheduler

“I LOVE working for SNAP! I have been volunteering in Animal Welfare for 8 years. I was the Foster coordinator for PAWs Animal shelter Yokosuka in Japan and did TNR (Trap Neuter Return of feral cats) for the Japanese community and the Yokosuka Naval base for 4 years . I currently am a volunteer for the Feral Cat Coalition (FCC) and do TNR for the Orphan Kitten Club (OKC). I recently started volunteering for SDHS in their small pet section to learn more about rabbits.”

Michell Sydoriak

Scheduler

“I love working for SNAP because I am passionate about animal welfare/spaying and neutering! In my free time I foster rats for Wee Companions (I have loved rats all my life). I am a huge fan of the Bully breeds and love to support rescues that advocate for those big block heads. Once a week I go to a rescue in Jamul to socialize/exercise large dogs that were rescued from the shelter.”

Ashley Gomez

Scheduler

“Hi! I’m Ashley. With a background in customer service and life as a busy mom to four amazing girls (hello, sports schedules!), I’ve mastered the art of time management. I’m also a proud dog mom to two lovable French Bulldogs, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I’m excited to bring that same energy and organization to help you and your pets have the best experience possible!”

“Quotes” from Our Customers

“Absolutely wonderful for low-income elderly.”
– Rita from Oceanside

“We wanted to say thank you soooo much for offering this service for our sweet kitty! We totaled up how much service we received for $30 and it would have been about THREE times as much! We’re on a ridiculous budget right now, so we really needed this special very much! Thank you, and bless you all!”
– Love from Shannon, Shayne & Luna

“SNAP is a great organization. Anyone who goes out of their way to help animals is great in my book and SNAP does more than go out of their way. They’re a group of wonderfully dedicated and selfless people.”
– Mike S.

“Thank God for this program. Couldn’t afford it without you”
– T. Tigert
