My story

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

Max

Hi, my name is MAX! I am a typical German shepherd so if you like my breed, I am the one for you! I love my family, I’m protective but not mean. I really enjoy having a job so if you like working with me, taking me to training classes or teaching me tricks at home then I’m definitely your man! I am friendly to people and children friendly.
My best friend is Freddy who I play with often. Freddy and I would be happy to be adopted together, but I am OK to go to my new home without Freddy.
I am a little bit traumatized as I come from a homeless camp, where my brother was killed in front of me. But I’ve done some self development work and I’m doing a lot better. I’m definitely ready to go into my forever, loving home.
I’m 1 and a half years old, house broken and since I’m getting trained every day I’m pretty good on the leash.

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!
