Many homeless animals have been abandoned, abused, or neglected, without ever knowing the love of a caring human being. Every day, dogs and cats are euthanized in overcrowded high-kill Kern County area animal shelters.
From the moment S.T.O.P. rescues a dog or cat, we begin changing their lives for the better. Each pet is placed in a caring foster home until the right adopter/owner is found. During their stay, the pets are evaluated, socialized, and given the loving care they need, prior to adoption. Pets have their basic shots and are spayed/neutered (we actively support spaying and neutering of all companion dogs and cats).
Help keep us going and make happy tails come true; 100% of our support comes from donations and volunteers.
What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
Please complete and submit your Volunteer Application to foster a dog or cat while he/she awaits a new forever home. You can also complete the Volunteer Application to volunteer/donate your time.
