Meet "The Beast".
In March 2017, START launched “The Beast,” a 38-foot motorhome that was retrofitted into a state of the art Animal Transport Vehicle for our Transport/Relocation Program. The aim was to increase our transport/relocation capacity while also providing safe, comfortable and sanitary conditions for our 4-legged passengers. This project took over nine months of careful research and construction by an animal transport specialist. Our “dream” vehicle can hold up to 160 at-risk animals in a climate controlled environment. START also has a 24/7 on-call vet and interior cameras to monitor our precious cargo. Providing every option for comfort and safety, The Beast is also well equipped for emergency situations.
