About Us

Stendell-Hoffmann Animal Rescue Effort (SHARE) is a California Nonprofit Corporation organized for the dedicated purpose of: rescuing, rehabilitating, sheltering and placing homeless companion animals in new loving forever homes; promoting low cost spay/neuter programs, providing assistance with feral populations; and providing education to the public to help us all promote the well being of companion animals.

We were formed in January 2005. Leslie Hoffmann, President, co-founded SHARE after 15 years of experience with other rescue organziations. Kory Stendel, co-founded SHARE after eight years of experience with other rescue organzations. Our inital effort forcused on rescue, sheltering and spay/neuter of over 70 cats located at the Hollister Municipal Airport.

With that success we broadened our efforts and now work with our local shelter, other rescue groups and the community to help even more companion animals. As of December 2007, we have rescued over 200 cats and kittens and have found new permanent homes for over 150 adoptable cats and kittens and placed over 50 feral cats in appropriate new surroundings. We also added a dog and puppy rescue foster network to our organization to help give homeless dogs and puppies a better life.

We obtained our nonprofit 501(c)(3) status in May, 2007.

Our current fundraising campaigns are targeted to provide low-cost spay/neuter programs and to support improvements to our alternate shelter program.
