IRS990/Desc0Rescue/Transport program - Founded in 2011, Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team's(aka START Rescue) goal has been to reduce euthanasia rates of adoptable pets in the overcrowded shelters of California. These abused and neglected dogs and cats desperately need safe passage to less populated states where vetted rescue partners provide the rehabilitation and socialization necessary, and position them for adoption. We address this need by providing, at minimum, monthly large-scale rescue/transport/relocation (one of two flagship programs) for at-risk animals, linking overburdened shelters in California to STARTs fully vetted, contracted destination partners in the Pacific Northwest where there is both capacity and demand. In 2025,START rescued/relocated/transported 641 adoptable pets to the PNW who have since found wonderful homes, and also rescued 79 pets who found wonderful homes in California.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Spay/Neuter program - Our second flagship program provides spay/neuter services for underserved California communities such as Bakersfield, Taft/Maricopa, San Bernardino, Riverside, Lancaster, Palmdale, Delano, Porterville and surrounding areas of Tulare County. These areas have large numbers of stray and neglected dogs and cats along with very high shelter intake. It is especially important for us to build strong relationships with low-income spay/neuter neighbors in target zip code California locations. In 2025, START funded 1,136 spay/neuter surgeries for pets in underserved areas and for the pets of low-income senior citizens.Additionally, START Rescue partners with shelters in underserved communities to secure grant funding for critical services such as spay/neuter, vaccinations, and food pantries.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0START was named "2025 Top-Rated" by Great Nonprofits, and was awarded Guidestar's "Platinum Seal of Transparency.
