When a sick or injured dog 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.
Jack Jack suffers from a neurological disorder that causes him tremors, but thankfully does not cause him any pain. He is happiest when being loved by our care team. Your support ensures Jack Jack gets the care and ongoing medical attention he needs.
Splinter loves people, gentle walks, and having his coat brushed—and he leans into every moment of connection.
Don’t overlook Splinter, he’s waiting for YOU! He has diabetes insipidus, managed by daily medication and extra love. When you sponsor Splinter, you provide the lifelong medical care, daily enrichment, and stability he needs to live safely and comfortably.
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.
Embry is a big sweet boy who is almost 12 years old. He just became a sanctuary resident and not available for adoption because he had treatment for cancer of the mouth.
Stella was born in 2011 and has spent most of her life at Straydog. She never found her forever home and is now 15 years of age. She has very bad arthritis and must be carried out to the yard by her caregivers. She is on pain medication to relieve her pain. She still enjoys her food and treats and loves to lay in the sun and get some love from the caregivers.
George is a 75 pound Catahoula mix with a beautiful, soft merle coat. He was rescued by Straydog as a puppy. He is now a very friendly senior boy who loves to play with his caregivers. He never found his forever home and has been made a sanctuary dog because of his severe arthritis. He is on joint supplements and pain medication and is still enjoying life at Straydog.
Eva was brought to Straydog in 2019 after Duck Team 6 trapped her and needed a sanctuary to take her in. She was abused and traumatized at a “rescue” and was smart enough to escape. She was very fearful at first but will now come out of her house to visit with the staff and get treats. .
