JUST IN - We had another cat with a broken jaw come in who desperately needed life-saving surgery. This is Emerald. Both his top and bottom jaws are completely broken in half. Due to the condition of his body, we can confirm he was not hit by a car. We believe he most likely jumped or fell from high up, and his legs absorbed most of the impact because cats are limber, but his head also hit the ground and split his jaw in half.…
If we all come together, we can order this new piece of medical equipment VESSEL SEALING + MONOPOLAR AND BIPOLAR ELECTROSURGERY ALL-IN-ONE Dr. Schulz is an absolutely amazing surgeon. We are beyond blessed to have her in the Stray Rescue clinic, leading a world-class veterinary team. She has expressed how helpful it would be to have the seal & cut electrosurgical unit in-house. What is it? Basically the product ties off (ligates) any blood vessel that’s 7mm or smaller so there’s almost no blood loss…

Helping Lil Gus Gus When you work in rescue, you don’t sleep very much. As empathetic animal lovers, we do our best to save as many as possible. Their sweet little faces haunt our dreams. This is the face Cassady woke up to last night. This dog was shot in the head somewhere down south. “Can you help him? The bullet went through his head but he’s going to live if we can get him help. He’s such a sweet boy. I know I ask…
Our Streets are Heating Up As our streets heat up in the sweltering summer sun, the helpless wandering animals of St. Louis need you more. Historically, the summer heat directly coincides with a big drop in donations. But animal abuse does not take a summer vacation. In fact, when temperatures rise we see a significant increase in the inhumane treatment of man's best friend. In the past week alone, we've rescued injured animals off the street, one tied up to a fire hydrant on the…
Dogs are the coolest beings on Earth and I am reminded of that every single day. This old boy just joined our family. He has a painful broken jaw and is covered in scars - the telltale sign of living outdoors. He's had a long, hard life. But he's a good old boy. His tail swings, his brown eyes sparkle, and he just wants to rub his head against you and plop in your lap. He's easy going, he's kind, and he's grateful. He seems…
Two Rescues, One You. Be the Difference. Meet Perma and Asta, two medical emergency cases that arrived on the same day. Sadly, this is typical at Stray Rescue. Both this dog and cat are heartbreaking but we are going to do everything we can to save them and give them the beautiful life they deserve. We can't do it without you. First, meet Perma. This sweet little kitty was hit by a car. Her little jaw is broken in at least one spot but possibly…
Before we introduce you to a new dog, first we want to show you his x-rays. We all did a collective gasp when they popped up on the screen. When he came to us, we thought he was hit by a car. We're told his owners moved and left him behind. But as you can see, he is another victim of senseless violence. He is dragging his back legs, they are paralyzed and now they're raw from being dragged. His name is Owen, his life…
He didn't come all the way here to give up now. Meet Remo These eyes need you. All your prayers!! **Warning, Graphic Content** We were contacted by someone in a rural area, hours away. They heard we are the shelter that will help an injured dog no matter what. We will give them the chance they deserve and see if they can live a good life. And if there is a chance, then we will give it to them, no matter the cost. Meet Remo.…
Because of you, he has a fighting chance Earlier this year, we had a hell of a time rescuing a dog family from an abandoned house. The houses where we rescue are falling apart. They are so cold and dark, many have hundreds of hiding places among the trash, unstable floors, and broken furniture left behind. When a little puppy is scared, they can just shut down, making it nearly impossible to find them - even if you walk right next to one. It took…
