This Sweetie Pie named Woozer is about 7 years old. Woozer has been living in a car in a rural community in Northwest Alaska. While this might be better than nothing, and could provide some shelter from the wind, it does not provide any way to retain heat and the seats will freeze solid.
A good Samaritan told Woozer's people about Straw For Dogs and even submitted an application on their behalf. We sent a house out right away and now this handsome boy has an insulated dog house and straw which should be much more comfortable than the frozen interior of a car.
Woozer's family was very grateful for the help and happily sent after pictures of him with his house. Apparently Woozer "claimed" every side of his house and then went right inside.
Thank you to Alaska Airlines for helping us get this house out to Woozer. Thank you to everyone who donates to help us in our mission to provide some comfort to dogs living outside in Alaska.
We wish all dogs could live inside with their families at least part time. Unfortunately many of them never live inside. Giving them an insulated house and straw is just something we can do to make things better right now. Itās not a total fix, itās only a bandaid. But for the dogs we are able to help it makes a big difference.

Our neighbor dog KYLO is helping us out again with this video on how to work with a dog who is reluctant to go inside their new house.
Many dogs we send houses to have been sleeping out in the cold, with no shelter so they are not always comfortable going inside a house. KYLO is an inside dog, he has never had a dog house so he is a good doggy to try this on. He did a great job!
KYLO loves food so he was pretty easy to coax into the house, some dogs take longer but this gives you an idea of the things you can try. Eventually they WILL go inside.
Thank you Angie and Gabby for the video! š„°

Attention ALLAKAKET and HUSLIA!
Straw For Dogs will be shipping insulated dog houses and straw on Ruby Marine again this summer for our RIVER PROJECT 2025!
We learned last year that ALLAKAKET only gets ONE delivery IN EARLY JUNE and HUSLIA only gets TWO....1 IN EARLY JUNE AND NOT AGAIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
So not a lot of chances for us to get these resources sent out.
NOW is the time to get your requests submitted. Please go to www.strawfordogs.org and fill out an application if you have a dog living outside who needs an insulated dog house and straw.
Thank you to Lotto Alaska, David Lambert, and Ruby Marine for making our River Project 2025 happen!

This is a quick tutorial on how to put our houses together once you receive them. Most people do pretty well but some still have trouble.
We will pin this to our page for recipients to use as a guide.
Most common mistake....ROOF NOT ON PROPERLY.
Other mistakesā¦..gaps in the corners/ walls not tight together, and Back wall upside down.
There should be no gaps or spaces anywhere. The only opening is the doggy door!
Thank you to our wonderful videographers Gabrielle Jeffords and Angela Diaz Newman Noble who froze outside with us while making this video.
