I know we often post to thank the airlines, the barges, and the other businesses that help us by donating thousands of dollars in freight to Straw For Dogs. We are so grateful to anyone who donates any amount to us. Every dollar counts.
But we recently received a very special letter with a check for $30.00 from a 6th grader and the letter nearly made me cry (okay I cried).
I wanted to share it so you can all "nearly" cry too. I removed the name of the school and the last name was not on the letter only the envelope....so I think it's safe.
We are so grateful to you Riley. Thank you for thinking of us and helping us help more dogs in Alaska. You are a very special person and you are already making a difference in the world.
Thank you so very much!

Meet handsome boy Khaos! Khaos is one of the lucky dogs who lives outside AND INSIDE!
His family loves him so much THEY paid to have his house shipped out to them. Straw For Dogs donated the house and straw and the family paid the freight. This is a pretty rare occurrence for us, most people do not (or cannot) help with shipping charges at all.
We are so grateful to Khaos' family for helping us get a house out to him AND for letting him live inside some of the time and be a part of the family. We wish ALL DOGS had this opportunity!

Some more before and after photos from our Straw For Dogs RIVER PROJECT with Ruby Marine. Sponsored by Lotto Alaska and David Lambert.
Thank you to Ruby, Lotto, and Dave for making the 2024 River Project such a HUGE success!
These 4 sweet dogs had houses but they were in pretty bad shape. Thanks to Ruby Marine and Lotto Alaska and David Lambert they received 4 new insulated houses and 4 bales of straw!
They now have a little apartment complex.
Play Lotto Alaska and support non-profits like Straw For Dogs!

Thank you to Northern Air Cargo and Ryan Air, INC. for sending Scar this insulated Straw For Dogs house for us!
Scar had a house but it was getting old and wasn't very solid anymore. Plus Scar lives way out in Northwest Alaska and needed something warmer!
Please thank Northern Air Cargo and Ryan Air, INC. for their generosity and please donate to us at www.strawfordogs.org to help us continue to help dogs who live outside in our very harsh climate.

Please stand up for animals in your communities and villages. If you see abuse and neglect do something. Don’t just hope that someone will do something. Be that someone and do something!
This is sweet little SNOOPY with his new PERSONALIZED Straw For Dogs dog house!
His owner took the time to paint his name and a paw print on his new house. Thank you to Snoopy's wonderful owner who missed the opportunity to get his house sent out free of charge on Ruby Marine so HE PAID to send it out by plane.
It is very expensive to ship these big heavy houses out by air! Snoopy is very loved.
Please donate to www.strawfordogs.org is you want to help us continue to supply houses and straw to dogs living mostly outside in Alaska.
Thank you! 🐾🐾🐾
