Kisses from Besos We received a call that a dog had gotten tangled up in a park and had been there for 4 days. Watch his rescue video here:
St. Louis, Missouri. One Step Closer to a No-Kill City! Decades ago, I remember trying to comfort the dogs at the old city pound on Gasconade, waiting for their turn to be gassed in the gas chamber. Back then, there were no rescue groups to give them even a thread of hope for salvation. When I could, I would illegally sneak dogs out of there. Concrete walls, dogs crammed into such tight places filled with their feces, no food or water...a prison would be considered…
I am not trash. My name is Kismet I was driving around the city looking for a particular dog when I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. I hit the brakes in the jeep to get a closer look at a huge mound of trash. I got out and walked closer to the pile of trash, I didn't see a dog anywhere. I thought maybe whatever was there had wandered off. Then, all of a sudden, I spotted him. There was…
Every life is worth the effort: This is Novalee's story WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES & FOOTAGE On a day when our police were patrolling the city to keep protests peaceful, they were also watching out for our city’s animals. The call we received was about two dogs that had been left behind for “about two months.” “One is dead and being eaten by the other,” they said. This was a shocking thing to hear, even for our seasoned rescue team who has seen and heard so…
If only dogs could tell us their story Meet Grant Sometimes we wish the dogs could talk to us and tell us what happened to them and tell us how they’re feeling. We wish we knew the details of Grant’s rescue, but what we have pieced together is that he was rescued by Jefferson County Animal Control (JCAC) at Sugar Creek golf course in High Ridge. He had survived some type of unknown trauma that left him suffering from undiagnosed static neurological issues. He also…

This is Mister Dodger’s Story Street life had not been kind to him For several days, we had been tracking a stray dog that was covered in scars. As a street dog, life had not been kind to him, and he was understandably scared and distrustful. Every time we got near him, he would run away from us. We couldn't even get him interested in our offer of Vienna Sausages. He was one of those dogs that we couldn't stop thinking about and hoped he…

"I Feel Like I'm Drowning" Stray Rescue sends rescue team to St. Landry Parish Tuesday, 8/29 Imagine your dog is stranded at the pound, surrounded by water. He's all alone, hungry and terrified. He can't sit or lay down or else he'll be submerged in the flood water, so he is forced to stand on top of the dirty dog house in his enclosure until the water gets too high. Then what? There's nowhere to go to escape the cold, encroaching flood waters. Back in…

Stray Rescue doesn't get a summer vacation from abuse! Imagine lying on a busy street after being hit by a car, but you can't even get away from the oncoming traffic. Now imagine being a small dog that easily is not seen but still alive and in horrific pain. That was what our little champion, Rupert, suffered. I will never forget holding him in my arms, looking into his desperate eyes as we rushed him to Stray Rescue's trauma center. "Hang in there, little buddy"…
