St. Louis dog rescue gets online recognition
Stray Rescue of St. Louis has been named one of America's top dog shelters.
According to a June 10th news item, the website One Green Planet recognized Stray Rescue as one of five dog rescue services doing outstanding work.
Hannah Sentenac, who works on the website, called Stray Rescue ‘tireless’ in its efforts to save strays no matter what circumstances the animals are in. This includes dogs left to fend for themselves on city streets, abandoned in parks and empty buildings, or chained behind buildings. She went on to say that Stray Rescue has saved dogs from fighting rings, puppies living in squalor in decrepit housing, and even dogs that have been shot.
The day before the organization won the honor, Stray Rescue saved an underweight, abandoned puppy from a dumpster. The pup, now called Little Kimmy, is about 10 months of age and is ready for adoption or fostering. Sentenac wrote that Stray Rescue provides medical care, loving pet parents, and a second chance for these dogs.
Stray Rescue is doing more than rescuing dogs, however. Founder Randy Grim has also been successful in prosecuting animal abusers, winning some 40 or 50 cases since 2012. His dedication has made Stray Rescue one of the city's most beloved institutions.
Stray Rescue could work with brochure printers on a mailer that would make all residents aware of its mission, as well as the extent of the animal abuse problem.
