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.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

The Love-A-Stray Dog Division does not have a "physical" shelter and our animals are housed in foster homes until adoption. We only adopt within a 45 mile radius from Avon Lake, Ohio. Please do not ask us to ship our dogs out of state. WE DO NOT SHIP!

We ask that you complete our adoption application, so we can lean a little bit about you to ensure we can help find your perfect match.
Please do not ask us to ship our dogs out of state. WE DO NOT SHIP! We require adopters to fill out an adoption form and agree to the terms of our adoption contract. All pets are spay/neutered and vaccinated.
In addition to looking on the website, we show many of our rescued dogs at regular adoption events. Check out our upcoming events for the next opportunity to meet some of our dogs in person.
