Save the shelter

$25.00

For almost 30 years, Straydog has taken in the dogs nobody else would. Not the easy ones the hard ones. The old. The sick. The blind and the broken. The ones left behind when someone passed away, the ones dumped on a country road in the dark, the ones who'd already run out of time everywhere else.

It started with one woman and one promise: no dog turned away. When Pat Arnold passed, her last words weren't about herself. They were about them: "Take care of my dogs while I'm gone."

We still keep that promise. Every bowl. Every vet bill. Every cold night. For around 160 dogs who have nowhere else on earth to go.

There's no government check behind any of this. No safety net. Just people who refuse to look away people like you.

Here's exactly what your gift does today:

  • 🐾 $25 feeds two dogs for a week
  • 🐾 $50 feeds two dogs for a month
  • 🐾 $100 keeps four dogs fed for a month
  • 🐾 $200 keeps eight dogs fed for a month
  • 🐾 $500 keeps entire shelter fed for a month

These dogs didn't choose this. They just need someone to show up. Right now, that someone is you. ❤️

Support the shelter ❤️

About Pat Arnold

In 1997, on a quiet stretch of land near Purtis Creek in East Texas, Pat and Bill Arnold made a promise to the dogs no one else would take. The abandoned ones. The ones left on roadsides, surrendered, or simply out of time at the local pound. Their answer was always the same: bring them here. No dog turned away. No dog put down for the crime of being unwanted. From that promise, Straydog was born.

Then one spring, the unthinkable. Pat passed away suddenly. Her final words weren't for herself they were for them: "Take care of my dogs while I'm gone."

Bill made that his life's promise to keep. He carried Straydog forward, and the mission never wavered: rescue, rehabilitate, rehome and for the dogs too old or too broken to ever be adopted, a true home for the rest of their lives. Every bowl filled, every vet bill paid, every frightened animal given a warm place to land.

There's no government money behind any of it. Just donations, and people who refuse to let a dog slip through the cracks. When you give to Straydog, you keep Pat's promise alive and you make sure no dog who needs us is ever turned away.
