Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team (S.T.A.R.T.) is a 501c3 non-profit. START was founded in May 2011 by a group of active and concerned animal lovers.

Every day thousand of pets are killed in Southern California shelters. S.T.A.R.T. was formed in order to address the issues of overpopulation by providing two very important components:

1. TRANSPORTS
Animals are rescued from high kill shelters in central and southern California and transported to northwestern rescue organizations, where they are re-homed.

2. SPAY/NEUTER
Funding veterinary clinics in local communities to facilitate free spay/neuter services.

PLEASE SPAY/NEUTER YOUR PET!
