Review Details

A couple of years ago I was able to help rescue an injured Collie from the side of the Grand Central Parkway. We called everyone we could think of and the only organization that was willing to help us find a home for this sweetie was Bobbi and the Strays.

One hand washes the other, so we became volunteers for this organization and our lives have become richer for it. We've learned a lot, gotten to know some very nice people, and have even broadened our personal outlooks from being "dog" people to becoming "dog and cat" people. Through fostering we've gotten to know, help, love and enjoy more animals in two years than most people would in four lifetimes.

There are so many animals in need, and so many people desperately trying to help them, but one of the biggest obstacles, besides the constant battle to raise funds, is space to house them. Bobbi's space is very limited, and even with her network of foster homes, there are still times when there is no room at the inn. Bobbi has a number of dogs in her care that have been guests of her shelter for several years. They are loved and cared for but are waiting for an especially patient and understanding family to give them their forever homes. These dogs are guaranteed this safe and caring environment for however long they need it, even if it's for the rest of their lives.

Space. With more space more lives could be saved.

Please help Bobbi to get the additional space she so desperately needs.

Thank you.

Bobbi of Bobbi and the Strays has a heart as big as Texas when it comes to helping rescued animals. And she is very particular where her rescued animals go. You don't just go and pick an animal and leave with the animal. She does a thorough check to be sure that animal is placed in the right home. This is so important. Sometimes someone will want a particular animal, but the person may not be right for that particular animal. It has to be a good match and all parties have to be totally satisfied with the choice that has been made. Her volunteers work very hard for her, donating services, time and sometimes money. It is a wonderful organization and for a small non profit organization, it is superior in many ways. I hope she gets the makeover becuase she is so deserving of it.
