The park is still intact, and all the trees are much bigger and taller now. (We need a new aerial photo.)

Our Mission

Straydog is a "lifeboat" (and sanctuary) for rescued dogs. A vacant spot in a kennel is an empty seat in our "lifeboat,"
so, if you're interested in adopting a dog, see our website "Dogs for Adoption" link, or call to inquire about dogs
you may have seen recent photos of but who may not yet be included in our "Dogs for Adoption" link. And
please continue to support us. We will continue to row this "lifeboat" to shore, dropping off rescued
dogs into the arms of good adopters, and we will continue to fill the space left vacant by each
adopted dog with another desperate homeless dog for as long as we are able to hold on
(financially). We believe that the example of our sacrifice (and the example of
the sacrifice made by the people running all other no-kill shelters) must be
publicized to wake people up and make them aware of the necessity to
SPAY and NEUTER their dogs (and cats) so that homeless dog
(and cat) rescue "lifeboats" will no longer be necessary.

"ALL stray dogs to lucky dogs ... NOW!"
