More pictures coming in from our 2026 River Project sponsored by Lotto Alaska and Ruby Marine. Here are some more cutie patooties with their insulated dog houses and straw!
Pictures 1-4: Devoted new mom Pretty Miss Lucky and her 2 little fuzz balls. Those fuzzy little babies are adorable.
(Puppies are so adorable, and we all love them, but there are too many puppies and not enough good homes. We will list free spay and neuter services at the bottom of this post).
Picture 5: Sweet, lovable Lady, the chocolate lab mix, sitting like a good girl for her picture by her new house!
Picture 6: Fuzzy boy Buster is looking so dashing while posing for his picture in front of his new house!
Picture 7: Sleek and graceful girl Lexi is too excited to sit still for her picture, but her family got one of her running by it!
Thank you to David Lambert and Lotto Alaska for funding our 2026 River Project! Thank you to Ruby Marine for shipping all of the houses, straw, and food out free of charge! We could not do this without you!
Just a reminder that our friends at PAWS of Nome, Bethel Friends of Canines, Alaska Rural Veterinary Outreach, Inc., and Alaska Native Rural Veterinary, Inc. ALL OFFER FREE SPAY AND NEUTER SERVICES in the state of Alaska. They will send a kennel, pay for the flight to the clinic, provide the vet service, and pay for the flight to return your dogs to you, all free of charge.

These pictures aren't the best quality, but they sure are cute so we wanted to share them!
We sent this insulated doghouse and straw to Miss Blue a few months ago; we didn't know she was expecting puppies at the time.
The family sent us these pictures of these little nuggets playing in Mom's doghouse!
Thank you to Lynden Air Cargo for sending this house out for us and thank you to ASPCA for sponsoring this doghouse for sweet little Blue and her babies!

EVERYONE PLEASE BE SAFE AND PLEASE KEEP THOSE DOGS SAFE!
There is some bad weather headed toward the west coast of Alaska. They are calling for potential flooding and dangerous winds.
If you live in one of the areas along the coast that is expecting high winds, please screw down the roofs of your doghouses (put screws at the top of the walls; this will hold the roof on without putting holes in the top).
Please move the doghouses and dogs to high/protected ground. OR BETTER YET, PLEASE BRING YOUR DOGS INSIDE AND KEEP THEM WITH YOU!
PLEASE BE SAFE EVERYONE... AND KEEP THOSE PUPPIES SAFE!

A powerful Bering Sea storm will hit Western Alaska Friday. This storm has the potential to bring hurricane force wind gusts, heavy snow to the north, a rain snow mix to the south, and coastal flooding from the Bering Strait to Bristol Bay.
Prepare Thursday before the storm hits on Friday.

Thank you to these families for sending in the pictures of their puppies with their new insulated houses!
The first cute little fuzzy face is Eskimo. He did not have a house at all, but now he has an insulated house and straw in time for winter. We have also sent a 16 ft rope tie-out with clips on each end to replace the tie-out he is using now...it has been ordered and is currently on the way to Eskimo.
The second cute little fuzzy face is Rocket! Rocket didn't have a house either. Rocket's family said he loves his new house and he shares it with the neighbor dog who comes over to visit (shown in picture 4). Is that not the sweetest thing ever? Rocket also enjoys standing on his house to get a better view of everything going on around him (picture 5).
Thank you families for caring enough to get houses for your dogs and for sending the pictures in to Straw For Dogs! We appreciate you!
Thank you to ASPCA for funding these dog houses for Eskimo and Rocket. Thank you to Lynden Air Cargo and BERING AIR for shipping these houses out for us! We could not help as many dogs without their support! They are saving lives!
