Additional Contact Info:
SOS, Save Our Strays values your questions and inquiries. We strive to answer all questions within 24 hours. If, for any reason, you do not hear from us, please try again. We are volunteers and spend much of our time caring for the animals. Thanks for understanding. To contact us click here.
ATTENTION: At present we have a full house & cannot accept any more animals. Because of this situation, Save Our Strays is focusing on "Keeping Pets in their Homes" this Holiday Season. We are implementing several programs in the very near future to reach this goal. If you find you are experiencing financial constraints that make it difficult for you to keep your pet in your home, please let us know and we will do our best to guide you with options other than "giving up your family pet."
Why we do not have a phone:
When Save Our strays first started, we were one of the only rescues to answer the phone.
The phone rang constantly and 98% of the time it was someone wanting to surrender a dog or cat and that person was referred to us by their local "Humane Society," Veterinarian or Animal Control Officer (the people are paid employees of their organizations.) These folks were unwilling to help the individual in need or address their problem. Instead they felt they could tell people to call us and just "pass their responsibility" to our all volunteer group. After getting many phone calls after midnight, we stopped taking phone calls.
The constant phone calls were taking time away from potential adopters and most important...taking time from the animals. So...we decided to go with email. The reason it is easier for us to do email is because we can step away from the computer to help a potential adopter or tend to a needy dog or cat. We cannot do that while on the phone all day.
We do understand that this can be frustrating to people trying to contact Save Our Strays, but please try to understand how frustrating it is for us. We are asking for your understanding on our decision, and your support would mean a lot. We, like all volunteer rescuers, do our best to keep the animal as the priority and have made this decision with a lot of thought-please trust us in that.
Should you send us an email and not receive a response within 24 hours, please resend the email as sometimes emails are sent to spam and sometimes they just get lost.
If you are emailing with a question about a pet that you adopted from us, please include a telephone number that you can be reached at along with the latest time that we can call.
