Save the Strays Animal Rescue is a tax-exempt nonprofit, all-volunteer public charity dedicated to rescuing abandoned animals, with a primary focus on dogs. We find homes for our dogs through direct adoption and through cooperative efforts with other no-kill rescues and shelters. All donations are tax-deductible and are used solely to pay for our animals' needs.
ABOUT OUR DOGS
We quarantine new dogs for a minimum of two weeks before making them available for adoption. Dogs six months or older are altered, tested for heartworms and treated if positive. Pups adopted before the age of six months must be altered by their adopters. All of our dogs are wormed and receive age-appropriate vaccinations at intake and are placed on monthly, year-round heartworm prevention.
HELP SAVE A LIFE - DONATE TODAY
Your donations help us rescue, rehabilitate and maintain our dogs until we can find them permanent homes. Some of the dogs we rescue need emergency or intensive medical care at intake; others require surgery down the line. We also have special needs pets who require aids like K9 carts to get around, and other dogs with chronic conditions that require lifelong medication and make adoption unlikely or untenable. ALL need the basics of food, housing, bedding, and vaccinations. Your donations are critical to our ability to continue this work.
Please donate today. You can give online through PayPal, which accepts major credit cards (click on the 'Donate' button above). If you have problems getting PayPal to accept your transaction, please call their customer service line at (888) 221-1161. If you prefer to send a donation by check, please email us for the address.
All donations to our organization are tax-deductible.
JOIN OUR PACK - SPONSOR A DOG
Save the Strays is a no-kill rescue, and we often take in older dogs, dogs with medical conditions, shy/undersocialized dogs, and others with limited prospects for adoption. So some of our 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 would like be one of our "virtual adopters," please scroll down to see dogs in need of sponsors and click on the PayPal "subscribe" button.
