Start Over Rover Inc.
Our Mission
Start Over Rover is a dedicated no-kill animal rescue committed to providing sanctuary, medical treatment, and rehabilitation to animals in need. We work tirelessly to rescue abandoned, neglected, or relinquished pets and guide them toward the loving, stable homes they deserve.
Our Story
Founded in April 2011, we have spent over a decade operating as the only no-kill shelter in Hastings, Nebraska. What began as a mission to save unwanted companion animals has grown into a community hub where we prioritize public education on pet overpopulation and the vital importance of spaying and neutering.
How We Operate
We believe in providing the highest standard of care for every animal that enters our program, covering all medical needs, vaccinations, and daily support. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, our facility is maintained by a passionate team of volunteers and supported entirely by the generosity of the public and local businesses. We pride ourselves on maintaining a manageable number of animals to ensure each one receives individualized attention and behavioral training.
The Adopter Connection
Finding the perfect match is our top priority, which is why we utilize a stringent screening process for all potential adopters. By getting to know both our animals and our applicants, we foster lasting, joyful partnerships that benefit the entire family. Our team is here to provide ongoing support throughout the adoption journey, ensuring that our pets transition smoothly into their new lives.
