About Southside Strays
Starting off as just a hope and a dream to help as many abandoned canines as possible, making room for the most flea bitten dog in a small home. One dog rehabilitated and adopted led to the next and the next. After experiencing the dire conditions of our city shelters, the dream of helping one at a time became a need, a necessity and Southside Strays was born.
Working under Yellow Dog Rescue Ranch, based in Boerne Texas, we were able to reach more potential adopters.
By 2021, we became Southside Strays. We added vet care, vaccinations and spay/neuter to our responsibilities. We have created a safe, loving and fun environment in order to rehabilitate these dogs and ultimately re-home. By the time they leave us, they are physically healthier, more trusting and ready to live in a home with other humans and often other pets.
Something to bark about
We are so proud of the work we do and the achievements we have been able to reach with our dogs. Take a look at some of our success stories and please consider donating below.

Foster a Street Dog
Fostering is one of the most important contributions to the transformation of these dogs. You’re able to show them what it’s like to feel safe and loved. The majority of the dogs here at Southside Strays have never been in a home environment before. Our amazing fosters help them heal and become adoptable household pets. Currently all of our adoptable pups are availaable for fostering as well. Contact us directly for more info.
Be their hero and foster today!
