improving the lives of pets outdoors

This sweet puppy was seen being thrown out of a car along the Parks Highway by an obviously cruel, heartless , pitiful excuse for a human. I can only imagine the terrible life he has had if his people just decided one day to throw him away like garbage.

Fortunately this cowardly act was witnessed by some wonderful people who immediately picked him up. They took him home and have been fostering him for several weeks.

He is in good health, about a year old. The fosters have had him neutered. They haven’t given him a name, just calling him puppy. This guy is playful and friendly with their other dogs, loves people, loves the water, and will make a great family pet.

This sweetie is ready to find his forever home. Please message me if you are the perfect home for Puppy, he deserves it!

In Fairbanks but can be relocated for the right family.

SO 91 DOGHOUSES LATER.....

The LAST 11 houses going out on Ruby Marine! That is a wrap for our 2024 River Project as the barges are going on their final trips of the season soon.

Thank you RUBY MARINE for sending out 91 DOG HOUSES and 94 BALES OF STRAW! Straw For Dogs would have never been able to send out this many houses without your generous offer to ship them for us. 🙏

Thank you to David Lambert and Lotto Alaska for giving us the funding for the houses and straw. Ruby Marine had graciously agreed to ship houses for us last year too but we just did not have the funding to do it....This year thanks to David Lambert and Lotto Alaska we did! 🐾

91 houses and 94 bales of straw in 3 months is a huge milestone for Straw For Dogs. We are so grateful for all of those people who helped us along the way. We have had some great volunteers who drove to Nenana and built houses with us. Ron Gossel, Gabrielle Jeffords, Michele LaJiness Arpino, Donna Busson LaJiness, Julian Acevedo, Aiden and Jim from ARCTIC CHICKEN COOPS, and of course Juan Acevedo Hurtado who is also on the board of Straw For Dogs. 🐶

Thank you to Jim at ARCTIC CHICKEN COOPS for driving houses up from Wasilla AND helping us build them yesterday....then driving on to Fairbanks to help us with 12 more going out by air (post to follow). 🚛

Thank you Matt, Zuke, Stacy, Joel, Becky, Harlan, Duke, and everyone at Ruby Marine for putting up with us this summer. You were all incredibly gracious, friendly, and always so helpful. AND ALL ANIMAL LOVERS on top of all that! Thank you so much for everything! We are grateful to call you friends. 💖

This sweet puppy needs a forever home. He is in Fairbanks but could be transported for the right family!

Awe! Thank you so much for sharing this! We are so glad Bruno loves his new house. ❤️

Thank you Lotto Alaska and David Lambert for the funding for our River Project 2024!

Thank you to Ruby Marine for shipping over 80 houses for us this summer!

Here is good boy Trooper getting his new Straw For Dogs dog house. We were lucky enough to get to deliver this house in person! Trooper was a very friendly boy who loved getting pets and treats! We really enjoy the chance to meet the dogs and their families in person. This sweet boy made our day!

Trooper already had a pretty good house but now he has an insulated house to keep him comfy.

If you want to help Straw For Dogs provide more insulated houses and straw to dogs living outside in Alaska please donate at www.strawfordogs.org We have no paid positions, we are all volunteer, which means all donations go to the dogs who need help!

Thank you!
