Saviors for Strays
About Us!
Our organization is opening more shelters, and we have free adoptions. People who are adopting have to have an appropriate housing for the animal they wish to adopt and have to be able to provide proper care and food, if not we will not let them adopt. We are holding adoption events in local pet stores and in our shelters.

Our Mission
Our mission is to help reduce the amount of animals without homes and who live on the street. We are trying to help animals get into a home that they will be loved and appreciated in. We are also working to reduce the amount of animals that are euthanized in shelters each year.
