START-Sweetheart
Sponsorship Program
START Rescue focuses primarily on large-scale rescue missions but also saves big-hearted individual animals who have more intensive needs each year.
These sweethearts are often found dumped in the deserts of California, starving, sick, or taken from the hands of an abuser.
You can sponsor an animal with us!
Bakersfield Strays Coalition
Working to halt the cruel & illegal dumping of dogs
The Bakersfield Strays Coalition is working to SHUT DOWN the dumping of dogs in Bakersfield, CA through aggressive media and community campaigning, building partnerships, and everyday boots-on-the-ground rescue.
Spay/Neuter Program.
Spay / Neuter is the easiest way
to do the MOST good for animals.
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.
