Love-A-Stray Dog Division

Dog rescue in Avon Lake, OH

Love-A-Stray is a small, non-profit, all-volunteer organization focused on helping abandoned, forgotten and neglected dogs. Without a physical shelter, our rescue dogs are housed in loving foster homes; minimizing operating costs and allowing adoption fees, donations, and fundraising efforts to directly benefit the dogs in our care. Every dog we rescue is completely vetted including spay/neuter before they are adopted out to a new family. We strive to find new adoptive families willing to make a lifetime commitment for each dog we rescue. We rely on our loyal supporters to help us raise funds to help us continue our good work.
