This smiling little MAMA is Miss TIPPY! She is a beautiful senior girl who lives in a rural community in interior Alaska.
Tippy is one of the special dogs who got a new dog house as part of our 2025 RIVER PROJECT!
She had a pretty good house already but it was getting old and was down on the ground so more likely to get damp/wet. Now she has an insulated house that is on legs which will not only stay dry but might be easier this senior girl to get in and out.
If you look inside her house you can see that Tippy is sharing her house with her new precious puppies. (We have offered to facilitate getting the puppies into a rescue to find them homes once they are old enough if the family would like help doing so, and discussing options to have Tippy spayed if the family would like help with that).
In the meantime Tippy looks like a very proud MAMA and we are so grateful that her family loves her enough to reach out to Straw For Dogs to get her a new house. Big thank you to the family for sending us this adorable picture of Tippy with her Straw For Dogs house! She is just the cutest!
Thank you to David Lambert, Lotto Alaska, and Ruby Marine for partnering with us for the second year of our RIVER PROJECT! We would only be able to help a fraction of the dogs we are helping without your support! Lotto Alaska and Ruby Marine are making a lot of furry little lives better!

Let's see those dogs enjoying summer in Alaska!
Buster is a 14 years young sweet boy... with the best "dot eyebrows" we have seen in a while!
Buster lives in a coastal community in Northwest Alaska. He is one of the lucky dogs who gets to live inside with his family sometimes. However, he also spends quite a bit of time outside as well and he would use the space under the house for shelter when he needed to.
His family wanted Buster to have a better/another option so they reached out to Straw For Dogs for an insulated house and straw for him.
Buster's family says he loves his house and they even ordered a small fan for him to use during the warm summer days when he is outside. He looks like a tired boy in his after picture or maybe the sun is in his eyes.... Either way he looks like he is ready to cuddle with someone!
Thank you to Northern Air Cargo for sending this house out to Buster for us! We are so grateful for you continued support, we could not help as many dogs without you!

Another after picture from our RIVER PROJECT! This beautiful little floof is Kiona...she looks so fluffy and soft! Giving out these houses would be so much better if we got to meet all the dogs in person.
Kiona's family said she has already moved into her house and she loves it! She is a happy girl.
Kiona had an A-frame house and straw and she seemed pretty comfortable, but her family wanted an insulated house for her so they reached out to Straw For Dogs when they heard about the 2025 River Project.
Thank you to Dave Lambert, Lotto Alaska, Ruby Marine for making our 2025 River Project possible.
Lotto Alaska has funded this project 2 years in a row and Ruby Marine has shipped all the houses and straw out to the communities along the rivers free of charge for us 2 years in a row as well....AND they put up with us invading their yard to build houses to ship out...they have always been so gracious and kind to all of our people.
We could not help all of these dogs without the support of Lotto Alaska and Ruby Marine. These groups have improved the lives of hundreds of dogs in the past 2 years alone. We cannot thank them enough.

This cute little face is Nukluk! She a 3 year old shiny black love bug who just got her new Straw For Dogs insulated dog house delivered by Ruby Marine!
Thank you to Nukluk's family for reaching out to get her a new house and for sending us these very cute pictures of her enjoying her new house. She looks pretty content and very soft. We wish we could deliver all the houses in person and get to love on these dogs, they always look so squeezable.
Thank you to Dave Lamber, Lotto Alaska and Ruby Marine for making our 2025 River Project possible. Without your support we would not be able to provide as many insulated houses to the dogs who need them!
