START Animal Rescue

START Rescue knows the power of transportation! For the past 13 years, we have used this power to save over 17,020 adoptable pets by conducting large-scale, rescue-transport missions in our custom retrofitted bus and van (affectionately named "The Beast" and "Baby Beast") from "high-kill" shelters to our vetted rescue partners and adopters in the Pacific Northwest. We save the lives of approximately 1,500 adoptable pets every year!

It costs about $75 to buy a seat for a furry friend and save a life!

START conducts large-scale rescue/transport missions saving pets from overflowing "high-kill" shelters, coordinates critical spay/neuter efforts in underserved areas, funds pet retention and pet pantry programs and rescues pets from neglect, abuse, and/or abandonment. START has been named "2023 Top-Rated" by GreatNonprofits, and was awarded Guidestar's "Platinum Seal of Transparency".

START Animal Rescue is a Charity participating in the NASCAR Day Giveathon 2023 a Giving Day event, presented by The NASCAR Foundation.
