Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find loving homes for homeless, abused or neglected dogs, regardless of where they are born. We strive to create a world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty ends. What We Do and How We Do It Working directly with domestic and international outreach organizations and centers for Animal Care and Control, Stray from the Heart rescues, rehabilitates and finds permanent homes for abandoned and abused dogs without the benefit of paid employees or a shelter facility. Through a network of foster homes, partner veterinarians and dog trainers, we strive to offer good dogs facing uncertain futures new hope and a better life. Stray from the Heart also provides follow-up support to individuals and families after an adoption, for example, answering important health and behavioral questions. Our goal is to help people choose the perfect dog companion, but more importantly, find a forever home for each of our Strays. Even so, we have a “no questions asked” policy if a dog must be returned to us. Our main concern is the health and safety of our Strays.
