Sponsorship Program
The START Sweethearts are the exceptional big-hearted individual animals who have intensive immediate needs to address before they can be adopted into loving homes.

These sweethearts are often found dumped in the deserts of California, starving, sick, or taken from the hands of an abuser.

Spay/Neuter Program.
Spay / Neuter is the easiest way

Sadly, spay/neuter is also one of the more difficult programs to find donors for. START Rescue's donors have funded over 16, 000 Spay/Neuter surgeries! With your support, we can keep building on this number and save thousands of additional animals from euthanasia in California, where the risk is higher than in any other state in America.
