improving the lives of pets outdoors

Foster needed in Fairbanks. Owner cannot care for these dogs anymore. She lives outside with these dogs in the bush. We have an air carrier who will bring them in but they need fosters!

Another before and after!

We have been getting a lot of AFTER pictures where the roofs are NOT SEATED properly. The roofs of these houses are designed to sit down inside the walls on a lip. There should be no gap. The roof should be sitting flat on the house.

The fit is snug and it is made to be that way. You just have to wiggle the roof around or lift one side a bit to get the other side to fall in place.

BELOW is a very cute BEFORE and AFTER picture of one of our sweet RIVER PROJECT dogs.

BUT the roof is NOT seated properly, it is sitting up on the edge of the walls and not down inside the walls where it should be. It will not keep snow, wind, and rain out this way. Moisture can get in and the straw will mold.

I have contacted the people who I noticed needed to fix the roofs (this one has been done) but in case I missed anyone I wanted to post.

Please watch out for your neighbors and their dogs, if you see one of our houses where the roof it sitting on top or lip sided please let them know.

Reminder, this is the difference your donations make. From no real house to insulated house and straw. Please donate if you can at www.strawfordogs.org

Thank you!

Thank you Janessa! Happy Birthday. Thank you for all you do for the dogs in Togiak. We are grateful for you. ❤️

THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE YOUR DONATIONS MAKE!

Look at this little cutie patootie shaggy puppy!

Here is a before and after from one of our "River Project" dogs. Of course this project was funded by Lotto Alaska, and David Lambert and Ruby Marine generously donated all of the shipping! (I think I was told this before picture was taken in the spring and this dog is obviously not cold at this time, but that open front, makeshift house could not offer much protection in the cold winter months).

There are many dogs in Alaska living in makeshift houses built with whatever is available in the rural areas where resources are scarce and your donations allow us to give these dogs new insulated houses and straw.

Your donations will make more changes like this happen.

Thank you!

With a few that have donated through Paypal and Kelly's match we are about half way there. Please share! Thank you!

Thank you to Desert Air Transport for sending this sweet dog an insulated house and straw from Straw For Dogs. You can see he had no shelter at all before and now he has a weather treated insulated house of his own.

We are so grateful to Desert Air Transport. They have NEVER once turned us down when we have asked them for shipping donations.

Please support the businesses that support us and thank Desert Air for their continued generous support!

Please donate at www.strawfordogs.org if you can help. This is the difference your donation will make for another dog living outside in Alaska with no shelter.
