These abused and neglected dogs and cats desperately need safe passage to less populated states where rescue agencies provide the rehabilitation and socialization necessary, and position them for adoption. We address this need by providing, at minimum, monthly transport/relocation (one of two flagship programs) for at-risk animals, linking overburdened shelters in California to STARTs fully vetted, contracted destination partners in the Pacific Northwest where there is both capacity and demand. In 2023, START relocated/transported 809 adoptable pets who have since found wonderful homes, and since START was founded, more than 17,029 animals have been rescued, transported and relocated through this program. 69555 Spay/Neuter program - Our second flagship program provides spay/neuter services for underserved California communities such as Bakersfield, San Bernardino, 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 13,000 spay/neuter procedures in underserved areas and to low-income senior citizens.Additionally, START Rescue partners with shelters in underserved communities to secure grant funding for critical services such as spay/neuter, vaccinations, and food pantries. In 2023, START Rescue secured over $140,000 in grant funding for the animals of Porterville. START was named "2023 Top-Rated" by Great Nonprofits, and was awarded Guidestar's "Platinum Seal of Transparency. 816278 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 true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 19 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X STEVE SPIRO 3237917282 12939 BLOOMFIELD ST STUDIO CITY CA 91604 X STEVE SPIRO President 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RENE RUSTON Treasurer 30.00 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 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN LAVINTHAL Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 941236 151053 941236 0 14002 14002 0 0 0 239820 171879 67941 67941 67941 0 0 120345 4870 115475 115475 INSURANCE CLAIM 80329 80329 POINT REDEMPTION 2827 2827 83156 1221810 151097 129477 X 94816 94816 0 0 0 0 0 36743 36743 0 0 11031 11031 0 0 9905 9905 0 0 0 0 21961 12956 9005 1889 497 400 992 0 0 58137 58137 1618 1618 0 0 0 0 6547 6547 0 RESCUE PROGRAM EXPENSE 197226 197226 ANIMAL TRANSPORT COSTS 189772 189772 OUTSIDE SERVICES 98102 49209 18130 30763 MEDICAL SPAY/NEUTER 90959 90959 131885 114541 2741 14603 950591 816278 78950 55363 741410 424707 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 237545 154890 21761 82655 459836 1036193 0 0 0 0 1223007 1543555 3862 18656 3862 18656 X 1209066 1462980 10079 61919 1219145 1524899 1223007 1543555 271219 34535 X false false false X 584561 745560 955100 653429 944287 3882937 0 0 584561 745560 955100 653429 944287 3882937 145200 3737737 519 9909 3118 8005 14002 35553 0 71522 95796 212025 234210 83156 696709 4615199 0.80990 0.77710 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 232495 151944 80551 5050 2946 2104 82655 CREDIT CARD LIABILITY 18656 18656 true LAST CHANCE FOR ANIMALS 8033 SUNSET BLVD 835 LOS ANGELES CA 90046 954013155 501(c)(3) 5100 0 Animal rescue support 1 0 X 2 151053 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE DIRECTOR WILL REVIEW THE FORM 990 BEFORE FILING AND WILL REVIEW WITH THE GOVERNING BOARD IF ANY ISSUES ARE DISCOVERED DURING THE REVIEW.
