If we have shipped a doghouse and straw to you and you HAVE NOT received it, please let us know. We found 2 "missing" doghouses today. Houses the dogs could have been using weeks ago if anyone had reached out for help locating them.
Sometimes the airlines do not call to say the houses are there, and you will find them on the airstrip. (Most of the time they do call). Lots of things happen when shipping to rural Alaska. If we don't hear from you we don't know there is a problem.
So if you know we sent you a house but you do not have it yet please reach out so we can do some investigating!

Thank you to our friend and Alaska Rural Veterinary Outreach, Inc. volunteer Aubrey Cook for her help in organizing the outreach in Kotzebue with VCA CHARITIES and Royal Canin!
Aubrey was the recipient of all the dog houses, straw, building materials, food, and everything else we sent up in advance for this project!
She and her family helped distribute houses, straw, and food all weekend in some pretty awful weather (as you can see)!

Another update from Kotzebue...One of the sweetest dogs we got to meet during our time in Kotzebue.....Miss Akluq!
Akluq was another one of the friendliest puppies the group got to meet. She was so excited for people to visit and love on her....You will see Lacey Ann Frame from VCA CHARITIES giving her love while her house was being assembled.
Akluq definitely needed a nice, new insulated doghouse and straw before winter. She also got a couple bags of dog food donated by Royal Canin, and she received her vaccinations thanks to VCA CHARITIES....It looks like she needs a new collar, and we did leave some with our volunteer in Kotzebue, so we will take care of this too.
Thank you VCA CHARITIES for sponsoring this outreach in Kotzebue! Thank you Royal Canin for the much needed dog food!

support straw for dogs
how you can help
We encourage concerned citizens to work with caretakers in order to improve the life of a dog outdoors. Talk to your neighbors, offer support (not judgement) and do what you can, where you are.
Together we can make a difference!
Straw For Dogs is a 501(c)3 organization that depends on individual donations to support our mission of providing supplies and resources for pets outdoors.
Your donation is tax deductible, meaningful and accounted for.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
