Merry Christmas to you, Earth Breeze!
They sent us this note and we wanted to share. By donating laundry detergent, they keep our animals warm and clean all year. And they are so kind. We just love them:

"I wanted to reach out and wish you and everyone at Stray Rescue of St. Louis a very happy holiday season!
2025 was an extraordinary year. With your help, we delivered 36,798,492 loads of laundry to those in need—bringing our total since 2020 to 336,548,933 loads! Each load represents real people, real stories, and real moments of need, reaching communities when dignity and care mattered most. We also made measurable progress in plastic recovery, reduced our carbon footprint, and continued to uphold our values as a company that deeply cares about people and the planet. We are incredibly proud that we were able to do this work alongside you and through our partnerships.

On a personal level, I want you to know how much your mission means to me. I take our partnership to heart and see you as far more than an organization—we’re building real relationships. I care deeply about the people doing the work, your teams, and your families.
Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, joyful holiday season. Thank you for all that you do, and for allowing us to be part of your important work."

Hi everyone! My name is Phillip, and I’m looking for my forever family 🐾

I’m a 7 month old, incredibly affectionate boy. I love nothing more than snuggling up and giving kisses. When I’m not following my humans around, you’ll usually find me happily playing with my toys or chewing on my favorite bones.

I had a rough start to my rescue story, so being close to my people means a lot to me. I do fine in a crate when my humans are gone, but I’d truly thrive with an active family (a family with kids would be perfect) who can spend lots of time with me.

I make the best work-from-home companion and will curl up at your feet and nap while you work. I also sleep through the night in the big bed with my foster mama. All I’m missing now is a family to love me forever. 💛
Dierbergs Markets will cover my adoption fee, too!

Barrel came in over a week ago, skin and bones.
But this happy boy is proud to say he has gained 4 pounds and is ready to go to a foster home where he can fatten up and be spoiled!
This guy is soooo nice, and he's ready to go today. The family that takes him home will be so lucky! He's a very good boy who is as friendly as they come. He likes other dogs and all people. One of our staff members has a truck that he loves to jump in the back of on his walks!
Barrel is 2 years old, 40 pounds, and ready to taste-test everything in your kitchen! We'll send you home with his food and how much he gets for each meal so he can continue gaining weight at a good pace.
Please come get him today! Fill out the app: Strayrescue.org/Foster

Go Teenie!!

“I found Teenie in a dumpster and was so excited at the opportunity to foster her when she was ready and continue forward helping her with her healing journey. She had multiple large open wounds that are now healed, her skin was in such terrible condition that she had lots of hair loss, and this once emaciated pup has now put on so much weight that she’s outgrown her collar and onesie.

Once Teenie gets fixed in early January, she will be up for adoption!

Teenie has experienced lots of *firsts* during her time with us. I don’t believe she’s ever truly been pet, because she can’t get enough belly rubs. She’s learning how to walk on a leash, which also feels like a first for her. We go on lots of car rides- she’s confused but excited the entire time. I even remember on day one, I turned the tv on and she ran around the entire house looking for the voices. Even flushing the toilet made her almost fall over in fear! I can’t even begin to imagine what her old life was like.

Teenie is AMAZING with little kids and other dogs. Unfortunately, she does not like strangers which is something we are working on. Who can blame her?

Teenie is almost potty trained and we’re working on her separation anxiety. She’s such a good girl despite what she’s been through!!”

This poor, sweet mama. These pictures make us ache.
She is so sweet, she just falls over asking for attention. She came to us with just one puppy. She developed mastitis, a mammary infection they can get when they produce too much milk and it gets infected, for example if most or all of their puppies die, there is nowhere for the milk to go.
In Mama Jean's case, her infection was so severe that her mammary glands turned into an abscess and ruptured. She came to us with a high fever and very dehydrated. We got her on IV fluids, antibiotics, and pain meds. We were able to supplement her puppy's diet with mushy puppy food, so she won't need to nurse. Her lil puppy's name is Denim and is now in a foster home getting the care she needs, while we nurse and heal sweet mama. ❤️‍🩹
If you were on the fence about spay/neuter before, please take into consideration we see horribly sad cases like this ALL THE TIME. She's in so much pain and her life is on the line. She'll be OK now, and she will never ever have to have puppies ever again.
If you can take Mama Jean in as a foster, she'll be ready soon. She's been healing with us in our clinic and is almost cleared. She'll need some big time spoiling!!

From our amazing volunteer, Estela! She took one of our longtime residents, Lil Ray, home for the weekend. Her review is so amazing!! We really hope someone sees this and comes to get him!

"The cats went downstairs and Lil Ray came over for a sleepover. This is what I noticed while he was with us:
1. He came right in the front door and went straight to introduce himself to my husband. This is the friendliest dog I’ve ever met!
2. He only chews on his toys.
3. He is a lap dog. He wants to lay on you or right next to you.
4. He gulps his water, but doesn’t drip water everywhere. In my world, that is a game changer!
5. Not a resource guarder. I can take any of his toys away at any time. He needs durable chew toys!
6. He didn't beg for food at all
7. Potty trained! No accidents and he learned where the door was and would always go there when he wanted to go out. Smart and a great communicator.
8. He likes to get on the couch so just lay a blanket down.
9. When we took him to see Christmas lights, he was a perfect passenger and gave us a million kisses on the trip.
10. He takes his medicine easily.
11. For potential adopters, he’s not too big. Take him home for a night and you will fall in love. I’ve always had small dogs and he is perfect. I thought with his size that he would knock things off tables. Nope! He was a good boy - even around the Christmas tree.
12. He wanted to sleep with me so I put him on the bed and he slept through the night. He could easily sleep on a large dog bed, too.
13. As a tripod, he didn’t have any problems walking on tile or hard wood floor.
He had a wonderful home made dinner, Christmas lights, play time and lots of napping and attention. He was a perfect house guest and my husband would even like to plan a trip so that we could take him. But here’s the thing, he could easily go to a loving home today. I hope someone comes along and scoops him up because someone out there is missing out on a wonderful dog with a heart as big as his head. Let's get Lil Ray home! He is a part of our One Love Club, so needs to be your only pet.

Chupie is a sweet, easygoing girl who’s all about simple comforts — mainly snoozin and treats! She had a rough start in life, but you honestly wouldn’t know it, she’s incredibly loving and gentle.

This 50 lb female is a great cuddler and will happily relax by your side, but she’s also content snoozing in another room if you’re doing your own thing. She’s the perfect mix of affectionate and independent.

Chupie does well with other dogs and stays completely unbothered by household noises — even vacuums and nail guns while the house is being worked on. She’s a solid walker, and has very bouncy ears. At 5 years old, short stroll is usually all she needs before she’s ready to settle in again.

She’s fully potty trained, non-destructive, and sticks to chewing her toys and bones. We don't even crate her when we are out of the house and she's never had any issues. She loves balls, and it's super cute to watch her bounce after them.

She lives with another foster dog and she's very loving towards him. No issues with resource guarding, they lick peanut butter off each other's faces. He's more playful than her and she's super patient with him and will usually play when he wants to. She is just a very sweet and easy dog to live with.

Chupie is a truly special girl, and whoever adopts her is getting a wonderful companion! Let's find her home tonight!! You'll be getting a real gem!!

Drummy, the little baby boy found in a KFC bathroom, is thriving at life.
He's gaining healthy weight, has found the delights in playing, the joy of an afternoon nap, and loves to wrestle with the big dogs in his foster home. He's learning all about the world and doesn't want to miss a single second of it. He is such a good little eater, and we are so proud of this strong baby boy. When he first came in, he would fall right over. He was so emaciated and malnourished, we're not sure he would have survived another day.
Drummy is loved, and his foster family told us they plan to adopt him as soon as he is neutered. 💗
We love you, Drummy Boy!
