improving the lives of pets outdoors

Please think about this. Walk your dogs, spend time with them, play with them, let them hang out inside sometimes. You are their whole life, they need your attention. You are all they have.

Thank you to Northern Air Cargo and Bering Air for sending this house out to sweet puppy Kobuk who lives in Selawik. We could not send out the number of houses we do every year without the support of the air carriers who donate shipping to Straw For Dogs.

Please support the businesses that support us!

Kobuk did have a house but his owner reached out for a better insulated house and straw for him. Selawik is very cold in the winter and this guy needed a good warm shelter.

Thank you again to Northern Air Cargo and Bering Air for your continued support. We are so grateful for your help.

Emergency Foster needed an Anchorage. And donations needed for vet care

Please help if you can

Another HUGE THANK YOU to Northern Air Cargo and BERING AIR for generously shipping out a house from Straw For Dogs to Selawik for this sweet boy named SPIKE!

Please support the businesses that support us!

Spike didn't have a house at all and you can see he had been making little ice bowls in the snow where he was sleeping. I am honestly not sure how he even survived with how cold it had been before he got his house.

Spike now has a large insulated house to give him some shelter from now on.

We wish NO DOGS lived outside on a chain for their entire life. It would be so much better if they could be inside with their families at least some of the time. Unfortunately living outside 24/7 is a reality for many dogs in Alaska, especially in the rural areas. We all need to work to change this by doing anything we can to encourage people to spend time with their dogs OFF chain, walking on a leash, in the house etc. We can help them have a better life.

A HUGE THANK YOU to ACE AIR for sending 2 houses out for Straw For Dogs this week. ACE AIR is another carrier that ALWAYS generously donates shipping to us EVERY TIME we reach out!

Please than ACE AIR for their generosity and please support the businesses that support us!

This is MISS KUMA in Dillingham. She had a house but really needed a new one. Thanks to ACE, she has one of our large insulated houses now.
