ndhen a sick or injured dogs is brought into Straydog’s care, our team spares no expense to provide medical attention and socialization training. Straydog’s goal is to place each dog that comes through our gates into a forever home. BUT sometimes dogs don’t find that home, so we provide that space for them. When you Sponsor a Sanctuary Straydog, you provide a safe haven to rescues that never find an adoption family. You support the home-like setting, medical needs, and the daily love are care we provide these special dogs.

Bullseye is now 13 years old and was abandoned at our shelter at the age of 7. He was made a sanctuary dog when he developed a very bad case of IBD. He is on meds and a very restrictive diet including only carrots for treats. He is a lovely and sweet dog but has become quite fragile because of his disease. Straydog is very careful that no one gives him anything but his prescribed diet since he gets deathly ill if he eats anything else.
Ralph is now 11 years old and his fear of thunderstorms has escalated as he gets older. He must be given Trazadone prior to a storm and is kept in a specially made metal crate so he does not injure himself trying to escape because of his fear. He has hurt himself quite badly before Straydog figured out what type of kennel/crate would keep him safe.
Naomi is 14 and lost her kennel mate of many years (Chubbs) last year. She was made a sanctuary dog last year because of her age and the fact that she probably would not transition into a forever home well at this stage in her life.
