Beyond Rescue:
The Exponential Power of Prevention
It’s a sight too common in many parts of the world– dogs roaming the streets that are in terrible shape, sickly dogs with terrible wounds, parasites, infections or mange. In places like Nicaragua and Colombia, millions of dogs roam the streets, facing hunger, illness, and a constant struggle for survival. While direct rescue efforts offer immediate relief, the sheer scale of the stray dog crisis makes more sustainable animal overpopulation solutions the only way to get ahead of the crisis and stop animal suffering.
The Unseen Math Behind Animal Suffering
The math is stark: one unspayed female dog can contribute to an astounding number of puppies over her lifetime. We often picture a few puppies, but the reality is an exponential chain reaction. Did you know that a single stray dog, even with a conservative estimate of a 66% puppy mortality rate, can lead to:
- 18 strays in just 2 years.
- 132 strays in 4 years.
- An astonishing 984 strays in just 6 years.
- Over 54,816 strays in 10 years!
(For transparency, our calculations are based on conservative estimates: each dog has two litters of six puppies annually, but only four survive into adulthood. We estimate each dog is reproductive for two years of her lifetime, and for simplicity, we assume all puppies are female. We do not calculate the impact of male dogs, which would make the numbers dramatically higher. This rigorous approach ensures we never overestimate the impact of your donation.)
Your $22: A Ripple Effect of Hope and Healing
This painful math highlights a profound truth: we can’t rescue our way out of this stray dog crisis. That’s why Global Strays is dedicated to going Beyond Rescue. One way we do this is by focusing on spay and neuter programs that tackle the problem at its root, preventing future suffering before it even begins.
For just $22, you can break this cycle. One single $22 donation, applied to a spay/neuter procedure, has an exponential effect. Your impact starts immediately by stopping an average of 12 unwanted puppies from suffering on the streets–but balloons overtime. It will prevent over 54,816 dogs from ever knowing what it’s like to be cold, hungry, or uncared for in just 10 years.
Doubling Your Impact : A Generous Match
Imagine doubling that already incredible impact. Thanks to a generous donor, every $22 you give right now is matched, dollar-for-dollar. This means your $22 donation effectively becomes $44, and its exponential impact grows even further! Your single gift will keep a minimum of 109,632 dogs from ever facing the harsh realities of life on the streets in just ten years.
This is more than just a donation; it’s an investment in a future where animals can thrive in communities that value their well-being. It’s about cultivating long-term solutions and safeguarding animal welfare from the start.

an Outsized Impact
At Global Strays, we are a small but committed team; we are lean and nimble–allowing us to achieve an outsized impact where it’s needed most. We combine local knowledge with global resources, working directly with grassroots organizations and veterinary teams in places like Nicaragua and Colombia. Our close ties to our community partners help us identify the neighborhoods most in need, and give us the insight necessary to personalize our programs so that they achieve the most impact.
Your contributions translate into tangible, sustainable change, reaching deep into communities.
Our campaign Beyond Rescue: An Exponential Impact is a testament to this model, demonstrating how precise, cost-effective interventions can prevent suffering on a massive scale.
