"Rescuing something takes time, and there is a risk of revealing something about yourself - your vulnerability - that isn't fashionable at all. That's what people don't understand. You do it because it is difficult. You do it because you aren't sure of things. You do it without knowing how any of it will turn out, or how much it will cost you, or if the story will be happy or tragic in the end."
- Ken Foster, from his book "The Dogs Who Found Me"

Fostercare Program

     Medical care and food is provided by S.T.A.R.T. A foster animal is examined by a veterinarian, up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered before entering a foster home. All we are looking for are loving homes for our animals to spend time in while they are awaiting their forever homes.

    If you are interested in helping S.T.A.R.T. help a homeless animal by becoming a foster home, please take a moment to complete our online Foster Application
