improving the lives of pets outdoors

NEED HELP PLEASE! Is there is anyone in Emmonak or Alakanuk who could transport 3 dog house bundles from Ryan Air in Emmonak to Alakanuk.... to the dogs who have been waiting for them.

We know of a few people who have driven by snow machine and have picked up their own houses. I believe it is 11 miles between the 2 villages.

The house bundles weight about 190 lbs each and if they are still bundled in one group they are 48x44x36 ish. They are pretty big and it may take multiple trips.

We are willing to pay a fee for gas and a service fee for helping us out/per trip etc.

If you can help us get these dogs their houses and need a little extra cash please message us to work out the details.

Thank you!

Since the article about our Eagle Scout supporter Gabe Tate just came out in the Newsminer, we thought we would share some pictures of the houses Gabe built and donated to Straw For Dogs as his community service project.

Here are 3 more puppies with their new insulated dog houses that Gabe built. All 3 of these guys are in Ft. Yukon!

A big thank you to Gabe from these cutie pies, Buddy, Choh, and Bunny!

Also pictured here on the second house, a new sign idea we are trying out....

Some more puppies with their new insulated dog houses!

We have been sending out as many houses as we can as fast as we can and we still have a pretty sizeable list.

Please be patient if you are waiting for a house and PLEASE DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO KEEP YOUR DOGS SAFE AND COMFORTABLE WHILE THEY WAIT FOR THEIR HOUSE TO ARRIVE.

Once we get them built and dropped at the airport it can still take WEEKS to get them to where they are going...They are big, heavy and the weather is always a factor that slows things down.

Thank you to all of these doggy families for sending us photos to share....We appreciate all of you!

Thank you to Lynden Air Cargo, Everts Air, Ryan Air, INC. Northern Air Cargo, Alaska Airlines, Grant Aviation, Desert Air Transport, ACE AIR CARGO, and BERING AIR who continue to support us in our mission to help the dogs living outside in Alaska.

THESE AIR CARRIERS ARE THE REAL HEROES! WITHOUT THEIR HELP WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP AS MANY DOGS AS WE ARE HELPING! Freight is so expensive and these houses are HEAVY, BULKY, and take up a lot of precious cargo space....and yet every time we ask for help, they DO NOT EVEN HESITATE! They just say "YES WE WILL GET THEM OUT FOR YOU!" 💞

If you know a dog who lives outside in Alaska and needs and insulated dog house and straw OR if you would like to donate to support our mission please go to www.strawfordogs.org

Thank you!🙏

7 more little doggies in Shishmaref with their new insulated dog houses and straw! Thank you again to P.A.s Anita and Scott who spend their free time helping the people and dogs in Shishmaref to make their lives a little better! Anita and Scott help build and distribute the houses and they have eyebolts and 20 ft. tie outs if people need them.

Thank you to Lynden Air Cargo, Ryan Air, INC., and BERING AIR for helping us get these houses out to the dogs who needed them!

We are SWAMPED so it will take some time to get your house. In the meantime please do what you need to do to keep your dog safe and comfortable. Please don't leave them out in the cold with no shelter.

Thank you!
