It was one year ago today that a compassionate group of people got together and did their very first big rescue as Start Over Rover. They did not have a building for the animals they rescued, but relied on friends and families to open their homes as foster parents until the animals found their forever families. They did not have any funds to pay for vet care but used money from their own pockets to spay, neuter and get the animals current on their shots. With the much needed and appreciated help from the staff at TLC Vet Care, they were able to rescue 21 dogs from the same house. 4 adult dogs and 17 puppies rescued, vetted and re-homed without funding, space or the public even knowing that SOR existed yet.

This day reminds us all about our goals within Start Over Rover. To do whatever we can with whatever we have available as our resources to rescue, provide care and re-home unwanted, homeless and abandoned animals. We want to thank the public for their support throughout our first year. Without your help, we would not have been able to get to where we are today...just one year from our first rescue. We have a huge group of people among many states who donate to support SOR. We have a waiting list for volunteers. We have people who take time out from their jobs, their families and their personal lives to be at the building cleaning, doing laundry and spending time with the animals. We have a network of wonderful foster homes who take animals that aren't always "perfect" into their own homes and care for them until they find families of their own. We have foster homes who take pregnant animals and care for them and their offspring for weeks until they are ready to be adopted. There are no words to express the gratitude Start Over Rover has for all of our supporters. We just can't wait to see what this year will bring us!
