VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. Please call us at (661) 823-4100 if you would like to help at our pet adoptions, do some fundraising, or if you would like to foster orphaned pets. From the moment S.T.O.P. rescues a dog or cat, we begin changing its life for the better. Each pet is placed in a caring foster home until the right owner is found. During their stay, the pets are evaluated, socialized, and given the loving care they need, prior to adoption.
DOG/CAT FOOD Needed: Please drop off food and pet items at our official Donation Stations: Canine Creek, Radio Shack, Tehachapi Vet Clinic, Tehachapi Pet Lodge or Books & Crannies.
