MISSION - WHAT WE DO
In San Dimas, CA, Planet Rehab created an Animal Sanctuary where we cared for over 350 animals as well as provided proper medical care and warm shelters for animal rescues and neglected pets. In exchange, our animal-friends worked as Ambassadors for Planet Rehab! They helped the public recognize the beauty of nature and the danger posed to their environment. We operated under the belief that holding a baby bunny, taking care of an Alpaca, or watching a baby bird hatch inspired all visitors to protect animal natural habitats!
SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT
A longtime Animal and Nature lover, Gary founded Planet Rehab in 2002 as a result of learning how compromised the environment had become. In his professional career Gary was the Sustainability Director for Metro Services where he worked to improve the sustainability of fortune 500 companies including Disney, NBC, Blue Shield, Google, MGM, and MTV. Concurrently he worked with Mayor Gavin Newsom’s Sustainability Team to help make San Francisco one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the world. As Director of Planet Rehab, Gary has had the opportunity to provide environmental presentations to Universities, Schools, Churches, Civic Organizations, Service Clubs and more with the goal of inspiring people to better care for the environment. Planet Rehab was the first organization in CA to be part of the Worldwide “Hands Across the Sand” ocean protection movement and together with his husband, Carlo Rios, he has hosted numerous Beach Cleanups, Earth Day Festivals, Original Environmental Musicals and Plant-based Food Festivals. As part of their goal to protect animals, Planet Rehab opened an Animal Sanctuary that cared for over 350 animals. In Oct 2019 Planet Rehab took a decidedly different direction and relocated to a stunning 30- acre Jungle Property in Bocas del Toro, Panama to better focus on habitat preservation and species protection. Reforestation, Coral Restoration, Pollinator Population Development and Amphibian Relocation are some of the key issues that Planet Rehab is currently focusing on and is thrilled to be hosting Environmental Expeditions to allow volunteer participation. Gary remains deeply committed to protecting the environment and enjoys the opportunity to provide daily educational tours of the beautiful rainforest that he calls home.
