Help us say good morning to some of The Stray Sanctuary residents 🏩

Most of the animals at The Stray Sanctuary are fortunate enough to have an indoor kennel with outdoor doggy door access 🙌

But— this summer some of our residents have spent most of their time outdoors because of limited indoor kennel space…

We added several outdoor kennel spaces just to be able to take in animals who needed help when we didn’t have any indoor room. If we didn’t have room, we made room.

But now — our focus really has to shift from outdoor spaces to INDOOR WARMTH ❤️ If you’ve ever experienced a North Dakota winter… you know just how brutal it can be.

Wind chills that can reach -60°F 🥶 So keeping our animals warm isn’t just about comfort — it’s literally about survival.

The Afternoons of playing in the outdoor runs will soon turn into very quick trips outside strictly for potty breaks…

We’ve accomplished SO much this summer, but the work never really ends... As one project gets finished, another becomes a necessity.

We have 80-120 animals daily depending on us for absolutely everything, so waiting until it’s convenient is never an option.

So, as temperatures begin to drop, we’re asking our supporters to help us get ready for another cold North Dakota winter.

We literally pour our hearts into these animals… but we simply couldn’t do it without community support.

Donations keep our doors open and ready for the next animal who needs us. If you believe in what we’re doing, please consider making a donation today.

Whether it’s $5, $10, or whatever you’re able to give, every dollar truly makes a difference and we thank you for supporting our mission.

If donating isn’t possible, sharing our story means the world to us too. Thank you for supporting The Stray Sanctuary, we couldn’t do it without you.

Remember the little bottle babies found on the side of the road in a laundry basket???

Well… look at them now!!! 🙌🙌🙌 After just 17 days in foster care and they have already almost tripled in size 🥰😍💓

This weekend they’ll be 6 weeks old and receive their first round of vaccines 🏩

Then on November 14th at 9 weeks old they will get their second dose & will be available for adoption 💝

Anyone ready to bring home a baby puppy to steal the show on Thanksgiving!?

If I am holding them in my left hand — it’s a baby girl
If I am holding them in my right hand — it’s a baby boy
