My personality

My story

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

Meet Nacho! Nacho is a 3 year old, tiny, bundle of love (4 lbs) searching for the perfect family!

Like many dogs, Nacho grew up on the streets of Mexico. He is also insanely adorable and bursting with a big silly personality.

Nacho loves making and playing with new dog friends and playing with his toys too. He LOVES to be warm and comfortable, and he is potty trained too!

He's an adventurous explorer, always discovering new things around the house and backyard with keen curiosity. He doesnt need walks and he simply loves being in a safe house with a yard.

He’s still learning to express his affection with humans and we know from experience that with time, he WILL eventually allow himself to be loved, pet, and snuggled. For now, it is hands off and encouragement with treats and kindness.

Nacho is looking for a home where his people will give him time, and let him come to them when he is ready! He is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to begin his new life. Please do not apply unless you understand that he needs TIME. By that, we mean weeks or even months. Some take longer than others...some tame up real fast!

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.
