WE 'PAWS' TO THANK OUR SPONSORS

Save the Strays is a no-kill rescue. Because we often take in older dogs, dogs with medical conditions, shy/undersocialized dogs, and others with limited prospects for adoption, some dogs are here quite a long time, and some for life. Our sponsors - caring, compassionate animal lovers who commit to a small monthly donation - are vital to our ability to provide this long-term care.

If you can donate $20 a month - about 65 cents a day - please sponsor one of our rescued dogs. Your name will appear with your sponsored dog's photo on our website. Just email us at info@savethestrays.org to get started!
