FUNDS RAISED THANK YOU EVERYONE! WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU!
We realize we just received some very generous funding from Lotto Alaska. Those funds are for our RIVER PROJECT with Ruby Marine.
Unfortunately we still need sponsors for SOME of the dogs who do not live along the rivers. This is one of those puppers!
Thank you!

UPDATE on SPONSORED HOUSE for ATHENA!
Remember that we sent Athenas insulated dog house out to her a couple weeks ago and 2 of the walls were stolen as her person was transporting the other pieces from the airport. Well....her replacement walls arrived and her people immediately set the house up for her!
They texted us this picture and said "she will NOT COME OUT of her house, SHE LOVES IT." (also doesn't she look like she has a wig on in the after picture if you zoom in? I think it's straw.... but she looks adorable).
We are sending Athena an indoor Xpen that her family requested, so she can spend some time inside with them, a leash to take walks together, and some xl doggy bowls so they can get rid of the coffee cans.
Thank you to everyone who sponsored this house for AEverts Airso to Everts Air and BERING AIR for helping us get the first house/straw bundle out to her AND also the replacement walls!

To David Lambert and Lotto Alaska for choosing to support Straw For Dogs again in 2025!
We are incredibly humbled and honored to receive this generous funding. These funds will allow us to continue our RIVER PROJECT with Ruby Marine this summer and will enable us to provide many more insulated houses and straw to dogs who live outside in Alaska's harsh climate. David Lambert and Lotto Alaska are helping to save FURRY LIVES in Alaska.
This is such a blessing for our organization! We cannot thank David Lambert enough for believing in our mission to HELP ALL THE DOGS WE CAN!
Play Lotto! When you play Lotto Alaska you help non profits like ours do good things in the world!
Everyone probably recognizes, Nick, Dave, Camilo, and me (Kim) but we were lucky enough to have some new faces participate. Thank you to Ann Lambert, Gabby Jeffords, and Angie Newman for coming out and making our picture more beautiful....And to our neighbor dog Beru for adding a layer of cuteness....Because we all know any picture WITH a dog is way better than a picture without a dog!

UPDATE on SPONSORED HOUSE for PALLAS!
The house has arrived and is now set up for neighborhood love bug Pallas. All the kids will get to come visit and play with Pallas at "her house" now.
Her people were very grateful for the house and say she is the best dog and loves everyone, especially the kids.
Thank you to everyone who sponsored Pallas and to BERING AIR and Everts Air for helping us get this house out to her in Northwest Alaska!
We could not help the number of dogs living outside in Alaska without the support and donations from all of the individuals and businesses who so generously continue to support us. We are so thankful for each and every one of you.
