Help Heal Raindrop This poor pup was hit by a car Wednesday morning, broke her leg, and was left laying in the rain. A police officer kept her safe until we arrived on the scene. She has no microchip and no collar. After X-Ray, we discovered her tibia is broken. We are raising funds to pay for her surgery, which is estimated to cost more than $3,000. Please give to her care below!

A Message from our Executive Director One of the ways in which Stray Rescue is set apart is that we proactively save the animals other organizations turn away or euthanize. These animals have been let down – abused, neglected, abandoned. It’s our responsibility to help these animals who bravely survive the worst of mankind and other cruelty on the unforgiving city streets. The first step in their rehabilitation is medical care which is vital to their survival, and we always go above and beyond to…

Rescuing Nathanial This sweet boy was just rescued today. Nathanial was found in shock, completely soaked to the bone from the downpour, and had puncture wounds around his neck from being attacked by a larger dog. We immediately rushed him back to our trauma center where our amazing vet team was waiting to start saving his life. They immediately assessed his wounds, worked to raise his dangerously low body temperature, and start him on pain management. They will continue to assess his condition every 15…

This little puppy is Deidra, and she needs your help! This 16 week old puppy came in today with the potentially fatal parvo disease.

This little girl is very sick, but true to our mission, we will pull out everything in our arsenal to help her fight this horrible disease. But, we are running out of medications to treat her, and we need you to come to…

Finding Arlington The summer heat doesn't let up for our city's strays The temperature is unbearably hot. It hasn’t rained in days, so there are no puddles to drink from. The only available food is the trash found next to dumpsters in alleys and abandoned houses. These are things that strays are forced to endure day in and day out. They try to find cool places to rest out of the brutal heat of the sun. I assume that’s what Arlington was doing when she…

Back in the Saddle has a whole new meaning Back in the saddle has a new meaning of importance for me. Since surviving multiple aneurysms in February and six operations later, the road to recovery is a long frustrating one, especially when your worse fear of not being able to rescue or help your friends at both Stray Rescue and the Ranch save lives. Sporting a PICC line (IV) until two weeks ago, it finally happened. I heard the words I was praying for. ”Do…

Their Hearts Beat Because of YOU How do you measure the value of a life? To us, it all comes down to one thing. A heartbeat. There are those who stole our hearts, those whose hearts needed healing, those who broke our hearts, and ALL became a part of our hearts. Every single heartbeat is a gift never to be taken for granted. Each one is an irreplaceable, unique life. Thanks to YOU, we saved over 2,600 heartbeats over the past year! Pregnant mom, Gospel,…

If he didn't get help right away, he would die This is RJ We were tracking a stray who we thought was very pregnant. The dog was so big and looked like she would give birth at any moment. We followed the stray into an abandoned garage where we discovered this dog wasn’t pregnant at all. In fact, he was a male. And he was severely bloated with fluid caused by advanced heartworm disease. We rushed him to our trauma center at Stray Rescue where…
