Bishop (our shelter
foster dad) and his current foster kids, Coco and Timmy, tugging
on a tuggy toy. It is truly beautiful to observe Bishop's tolerance
for the pups and his sharing of his kennel with them and
his obvious joy as he plays with them regularly.

Important:
People often
ask us:
"What else can
we do to help Straydog?"
Please help us find ways
to get more people to come to this website, which we hope will
make more people aware of the tragic overpopulation problem, currently
being alleviated by the killing of healthy young (as well as older)
dogs (and cats). We must make everyone aware of what must
be done to stop the killing and solve the problem right now:
CHANGE
THE MINDSET TO NO-KILL!
Changing the mindset of
the vast majority of us to no-kill will mean we (all of
us) will have to take care of the existing "surplus"
in no-kill shelters like Straydog (continuing always to adopt
out as many as we can) until there is no longer a surplus, which
will happen when we get everyone to spay and neuter their pets.
With no-kill as
our mindset everyone will very quickly realize how expensive it
is to run no-kill shelters and how less expensive it will be to
control population via spay and neuter rather than continuing
to build more and more no-kill animal shelters. With no-kill
as our mindset we will ultimately (and hopefully very quickly)
eliminate the "surplus" of dogs (and cats) via the only
acceptable method: Conception Control.
We will know we have achieved
Conception Control when Killing is no longer our
method of population control. (And Killing includes allowing
strays to starve to death, be hit and killed by automobiles or
fall prey to preditors.)

We continue
to thank all of you for your financial and moral support, which
has made it possible for us to save the lives of these wonderful
dogs, give them the care they need and adopt many of them into
good, loving homes.
If by our
example we can inspire enough others to do what we are doing here
at Straydog (our Happy Home for Strays), the killing will stop
while
all of us believers in no-kill wait for the rest of the
human race to come to their senses about spay and neuter
being the only acceptable method of controlling the population
of dogs and cats.
