These abused and neglected dogs and cats desperately need safe passages to less populated states where rescue agencies provide the rehabilitation and socialization necessary to position them for adoption. We address this need by providing monthly transport/relocation (one of two flagship programs) services for at-risk shelter animals, linking overburdened shelters in California to STARTs fully vetted, contracted destination partners in Oregon & Washington where there is both space and demand. In 2021, START relocated/transported 1311 animals, and since START was founded, it has rescued, transported and relocated more than 15,766 shelter animals in this program. 122452 Our other flagship program is our spay/neuter services for underserved California communities such as Riverside, Lancaster, Palmdale, Delano, Porterville and surrounding areas of Tulare County. These areas have large numbers of stray and neglected dogs and cats along with very high shelter intake. It is especially important for us to build strong relationships with low-income spay/neuter neighbors in target zip code California locations. Since it was founded, START has provided over 11,000 spay/neuter procedures in these underserved areas and to low-income senior citizens. While the majority of donations we receive are used for our two primary programs, transport/relocation and spay/neuter, we also have a long-term goal of securing a piece of real estate that would allow us to build an animal sanctuary. The sanctuary would then allow START to rescue special needs, seniors and unadoptable animals to live out their lives in a loving, peaceful, protective environment. At the moment we expect securing a property sufficient in size to fulfill this vision would cost between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. We are grateful to our donors that have contributed to this goal and it has led to us securing a portion of the purchase price, but we have a long way to go. As of December 31, 2021 the Board of Directors has earmarked $525,000 of our available cash as a Sanctuary Fund for the eventual purchase of a property with buildings, arenas and outhouses to advance this opportunity. 667746 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 14 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false CA X STEVE SPIRO 3237917282 12939 BLOOMFIELD ST STUDIO CITY CA 91604 X STEVE SPIRO President 30.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RENE RUSTON Treasurer 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PHILLIP GARABEGIAN Secretary 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TALITHA DAVIES WEGNER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINA SNYDER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEAN ANTHONY THEODORE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA RAZNICK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN LAVINTHAL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 953476 953476 0 3118 3118 0 0 0 0 0 0 213648 19419 194229 781 193448 credit card rewards 9410 9410 9410 1160233 781 205976 X 121582 121582 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47700 47700 0 7585 450 7135 0 0 0 0 48050 41161 6889 5275 2399 2876 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2078 2078 0 MEDICAL SPAY/NEUTER 122211 122108 103 ANIMAL TRANSPORTATION COSTS 80099 80099 VETERINARIAN MEDICAL CARE 75156 75156 STORE EXPENSES 69129 68535 594 172918 154178 12519 6221 751783 667746 77713 6324 883515 1308697 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1738 171854 132625 39557 39229 0 0 0 0 0 923072 1349664 50040 38158 50040 38158 X 873032 1311506 873032 1311506 923072 1349664 408450 30024 X false false false X 585567 631939 584561 745560 955100 3502727 0 0 585567 631939 584561 745560 955100 3502727 175433 3327294 281 388 519 9909 3118 14215 0 145881 111748 71522 95796 212025 636972 4153914 0.80100 0.83720 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1750 350 1400 165054 132275 32779 5050 5050 39229 Rounding 1 SBA LOAN 38157 38158 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process THE DIRECTOR WILL REVIEW THE FORM 990 BEFORE FILING AND WILL REVIEW WITH THE GOVERNING BOARD IF ANY ISSUES ARE DISCOVERED DURING THE REVIEW.
