Abandoned at the vet's office and minutes from being put to sleep, Bob is the focus of our annual Christmas letter this year. Read Bob's story by clicking here. To help Bob and dogs like him here at Save the Strays, please use the "Donate" button below to make your secure PayPal donation today.

We would like to recognize all of you (adopters and friends) who have responded to our Christmas fundraising appeal, as well as those who have supported us by fostering or sponsoring a dog. Your donations make our work possible. THANK YOU. And if you haven’t yet donated, please consider doing so. You’ll really be making a difference in the life of a rescued dog and helping us rescue more dogs at risk.

WE 'PAWS' TO THANK OUR SPONSORS We love our sponsors – those terrific folks who send a donation every month all year long, to help us pay for food, vaccines and other supplies. 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.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPONSOR ONE OF OUR DOGS? You can, for a monthly commitment of just $20 - about 66 cents a day. You can't buy a daily newspaper, a cup of coffee or even a doughnut for 66 cents. But, for those few pennies a day, you can help us feed and care for one of our rescued dogs while he or she waits for a permanent home. (Think of it as virtual adoption!) We can set up a monthly Paypal donation, or you can send a check. Just drop us an email and tell us you'd like to join our "pack" and we'll get you started right away.
