Street Tails Animal Rescue (STAR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping the homeless, unwanted and abandoned dogs in the Philadelphia area. Our goal is to pull local animals out of shelters and find them loving, forever homes. To us, rescue is about saving a life, and each animal’s life, no matter the cost, is worth saving. Since our animals often require extra care and support, covering the costs is our greatest challenge. STAR’s efforts are entirely privately funded. We are able to continue our mission thanks to the generosity of individual supporters, an army of volunteers, our dedicated Board of Directors, and staff.
