About Us

Stray Aid is a registered charity, charity no. 1117372, dedicated to the welfare of stray, neglected and abandoned dogs, and unwanted cats. The charity was set up in 2006 to help reduce the euthanasia of healthy rehomeable stray dogs.

About Stray Aid

Since 2006, Stray Aid has grown from saving 2 dogs a week, to helping many hundreds of dogs each year. None of this would have been possible without the support of people like you. Please join Friends of Stray Aid today, and donate just £5 per month, to help us continue to turn our words into action.
