The St. Tammany Animal Resource Team (START), founded in 1997, is devoted to reducing the number of homeless animals in our community. We are an all volunteer group which depends on donations and fundraisers to pay for veterinary care and spaying/neutering of animals. All donations to START go directly to benefit the animals. Our rescues are fostered in the homes of volunteers until placement. START is working toward the day when no animal is killed simply because it does not have a home.
