Every Stray Deserves A Forever Stay
We want to transform the lives of street dogs in Guatemala. Our mission is to give every stray dog the lifeline they deserve through life saving sterilizations, vaccinations and other medical care. We want to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome as many stray dogs as we can, nurturing their journey into becoming cherished companions. No dog deserves a life of merely surviving on the streets; they should be thriving in a loving home.
In 2024, four friends from across the globe came together, unified by their paw-erful love for canines, to embark on a heartfelt mission to transform the lives of stray dogs in Panajachel, Guatemala. Driven by a shared dream and deep commitment to animal rights, Stray to Stay strives to prevent further suffering for all street dogs. Together, we can weave a tale of hope and resilience and make a world of difference, one paw at a time…
