We don't want to have to turn away any dog that needs housing. Please donate anything you can, every dollar helps.
For the sake of transparency, the large insulated houses are $300 and a bale of straw around $25. We have been so fortunate to have donated shipping from Northern Air Cargo, Ryan Air, INC., Desert Air Transport, and ACE Alaska Central Express. With freight donated we are able to use the money for houses and not shipping costs. This is HUGE and we are so grateful to these generous donors.
We still need donations for houses, straw, collars, tie outs, etc. Please donate anything you can. Below are just a few the dogs living outside in Alaska who are waiting for houses from Straw For Dogs. We are doing our best but we need help in order to help them. Currently we have a list of requests for 21 HOUSES/STRAW.
AND YES WE ALSO WISH ALL DOGS HAD THE OPTION OF LIVING INSIDE AS PART OF THE FAMILY(AT LEAST WHEN THEY WANTED TO). BUT THAT IS NOT THE REALITY FOR MANY DOGS. Some of these are dogs are going to be living outside in Alaska 24/7 in the winter at -40 they will be doing it whether they have a house or not. So we would like to do what little we can to provide SOME level of comfort by providing them insulated houses with straw.
Sometimes you have to accept that all you can do is put a Band-Aid on a much bigger issue for now. Please use the donate button at the top of the FB page if you can help.
Thank you so much for all the love and support!
