Terms of Service

The simple ground rules for donating, adopting, fostering, and volunteering with Strays.

Donations

Donations support food, bedding, veterinary care and shelter for every species we hold — dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and small pets. Gifts are voluntary and non-refundable, and every donor receives a receipt.

Adoption and fostering

Adoptions and foster stays follow a short application and home check so each animal lands in a safe, suitable home. We may decline an application when the species, energy or routine is not the right match — and we'll suggest a better one.

Volunteering

Volunteers give their time freely and follow our care and safety guidance when handling animals, joining events, or representing the shelter.
