Our Mission
Protecting Lytle Creek Strays
The Wanted Animal Project protects the stray, abandoned and community animals of Lytle Creek, California. Through humane trap-neuter-vaccinate-release, mountain rescue and rehoming, and veterinary assistance for families in need, we work to ease animal suffering, curb pet overpopulation, and keep pets with the people who love them. We're powered by neighbors and supporters near and far.
What We Do
Founded by Lytle Creek's "Hometown Hero"
The Wanted Animal Project's founder, Travis, has been honored by the Lytle Creek Community Center, recognized by the County of San Bernardino, and featured on the cover of The Canyon. He and his wife, Clair, started The Wanted Animal Project to give the stray and abandoned animals of Lytle Creek a fighting chance.

Rescue Stories
A young dog left in the mountains after being used for breeding. A curly-haired girl abandoned in town and kept safe by a neighbor until we could reach her. And one shy survivor still living in the hills, waiting for the day she's ready to trust. Every animal we help has a story, and some are still being written.
