ABOUT STRAY RESCUE OF
The sole purpose of Stray Rescue is to rescue stray animals in need of medical attention and place them in loving, adoptive homes. Virtually all of the rescued pets have been abused and neglected. Some have been dumped on highways, or remote country roads, while others have been found living in public parks, empty houses and dark alleys
As a no-kill organization, pets from Stray Rescue seem to understand that they have a second lease on life. These remarkable animals reward their new guardians with a love and loyalty unmatched anywhere.
