My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Coco is the jam! He is a 4 year old, mixed breed with a heart full of love and zest for life.

Coco is great on Walks: Coco is a fantastic walking companion with excellent recall.

Coco is a quick learner: Training sessions with him are a breeze and incredibly enjoyable.

Coco is eager to please!

Coco doesn't display any food aggression, making him a breeze to care for during mealtimes too!

Coco adores playtime! Whether it's a game of fetch or tug-of-war. Coco is a great adventurer on or off leash.

Coco is deeply devoted to his family and home. He adores being your best friend.

Coco is a good little guard dog.

He is not especially barky, but will guard your front door like a champ. Because he is concerned about the safety of his loved ones, he requires a home without frequent visitors coming and going and no children please. His protective nature at home makes him a risk to visitors.

Your Perfect Match: If you're seeking a loyal and loving companion who's bursting with love and is eager to learn and to please, Coco might be the perfect match for you!

More about this rescue

S.T.A.R.T. (A 501c3 non-profit) was formed in May 2011 by Steve Spiro, Suzanna Urszuly, Rene Ruston and Adam Tarshsis.

We began raising money and transporting dogs from high kill shelters here in California and sending them via our van or plane to Oregon, Washington (WA) and Canada where they go to reputable no kill shelters or foster homes.
To date we have transported over 5,800 doomed death row dogs who are placed into loving homes. Our reputation is growing as is our demand from out of state groups in the north west who know how bad the animal situation in LA is and want to get involved and receive our dogs/cats.

We have also started a second division of our group which is SPAY - NEUTER: this is where we believe the real animal control problem lies. Over 4,000,000 unwanted animals are killed each year in the US because of breeding and unfixed pets. We are planning to raise money to fund low income families to fix their dogs and have had several meeting with city and county shelters to help fund a spay/neuter program. We have already set up our first program where we fund 60 dogs to be spay/neutered monthly in Riverside County.
