Amazing Strays Rescue

"Amazing Strays Rescue is truly unlike any other rescue I’ve encountered. We are so thankful they agreed to help our dog, who is a former mama found by someone on a street corner in Tijuana during a heavy rain. She had cancer (TVT), yet they were willing to take her into the program, provide medical care including chemotherapy, and give us guidance every step of the way. From the founder down to volunteers, no one is above rolling up their sleeves and doing what needs to be done to help the dogs most in need. Now as a foster and alumni-owner, I continue to be thankful for their constant advice and advocacy. I cannot fathom how they accomplish everything they do -- they deserve all of the recognition and contribution that helps them to continue to do incredible work."

"Amazing Strays Rescue has made such a huge impact on so many animal’s lives. I helped volunteer, foster and eventually became an adoptee. The team goes above and beyond to save every helpless animal. When it comes to finding the right home, they’re selective and want to ensure that it’s a good fit. Many thanks to Amazing Strays for all their help!!"

"My sweet dog’s life took a complete turn from the time he was rescued by Amazing Strays in Dec 2022 and I adopted him in Feb 2023. He was found in a dirty box on the side of the road in Tijuana, had been hit by a car resulting in permanent neck tilt and crushed front paw. It was rainy, freezing cold -he was malnourished and infected with giardia. Amazing Strays paid for rehab at a local vet until he was well enough to cross the border into San Diego and a bright new future. They called him Goofy but I renamed him Hershey because of his half chocolate face…and because he’s so sweet like Hershey candy! I am so thankful to Amazing Strays…can’t imagine my life without him."

"Hello, My name is David and amazing stray rescue has changed our family’s life. We finally took the leap to adopt a puppy this march 2025 and we were impressed on how seamlessly easy the process was. Everyone one was very helpful and kind when we asked questions. They were very responsive and have been to this day. I have nothing but good things to say about them and if you’re in need of adopting a new family member, I highly recommend amazing stray rescue."

"We adopted our perfect pup Pepper through Amazing Strays. They did a responsible home evaluation and helped us get her transitioned into her new life with us. I am so grateful for their ethical, kind, and heart-filled work to rescue dogs from all sorts of bad situations."

"February 9, 2024 I met Liberty (renamed her Blu) and fell in love with her. Amazing Strays Rescue made the adoption process so easy. The fact that the puppies are fostered in homes is one of the reasons I selected her. Everyone from the foster family, Devon and all the other volunteers really care about the adoptee and puppy. Blu comes to work with me every day and she loves everyone she sees. I tell everyone that she was adopted from Amazing Strays Rescue. The love and attention she had before I got her really made a huge difference is her behavior."

"Amazing strays is an amazing rescue group! They take dogs from unknown environments, with unknown backgrounds, unknown behavior issues, unknown medical, etc. They then do whatever it takes to get them placed into an appropriate home! There's not an existing hurdle I have not seen them jump! I adopted both of my dogs from them, and both are absolutely amazing! I've worked with this rescue as a trainer for many years, and the amazing animals they rescue are....well...amazing! I have loved working with them!"
