My story

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

Hi I’m MAX and was saved just in time at the shelter. I’m 1 year old and 64lbs of playfulness. I’m shy at first meeting but once I know you I’m as happy as can be. I love my toys, playing fetch and following you around. I’m a quick learner too as my foster parents are teaching me basic commands, which I’ve learned in a jiffy. I’m house-trained, good with dogs and probably need some training on a leash. But I’m smart as a whip and eager to please if you just teach me. Won’t you be my forever friend?”

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

This pet is being fostered in California!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

START Rescue does not have a physical location, so our pets are typically either in foster homes, in boarding, or in board/train. We work very hard to facilitate meet & greets quickly and easily, once an application is submitted and approved. We are so grateful to our wonderful adopters and fosters who have given our pets loving homes.

More about this rescue

START Rescue's mission is to end the killing of adoptable pets, and to prevent cruelty and suffering for all animals. START Rescue 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 in Southern California where pets are being surrendered to shelters in record numbers, and rescues pets from neglect, abuse, and/or abandonment. START's lifesaving mission prevents the euthanasia of over 1,500 pets per year and allows over 1,650 pets per year to be fixed, which prevents countless unwanted litters from being born. Since START Rescue launched in 2011, over 16,193 adoptable pets have been saved from euthanasia, and countless more have been spared a lifetime of suffering and neglect. We are committed to ending the killing of adoptable pets and moving toward a society in which all beings are healthy and happy. START has been named "2022 Top-Rated" by GreatNonprofits, and was awarded Guidestar's "Platinum Seal of Transparency". We are always in need of volunteers, transporters and fosters! Saving animals takes a HUGE village. Please email kaja@startrescue.org to find out more. Thank you!
