Transport
START transports monthly to our vetted contracted partners in the Pacific Northwest from California shelters and rescuers in Mexico. This is a huge task with many steps to get our four-legged passengers to safety.
Spay/Neuter
To date START has funded over 11,000 Spay/Neuter surgeries and with your support, we continue to increase this number.

Meet The Beast
Every month our customized 38 foot outfitted bus transports up to 150 animals that we’ve pulled from local shelters to the Pacific Northwest for a second chance at life.
Your support saves lives.
Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team (START) breaks the chain of euthanasia occurring in California’s overflowing animal shelters by (1) tackling the issue of companion animal overpopulation through community spay and neuter efforts and (2) compassionate long-distance transports to adoption friendly, no-kill, START-SAFE rescue organizations.
