Our Mission
Global Strays tackles the root causes of animal suffering in underserved communities worldwide. Our mission is to prevent suffering before it starts.
Beyond Rescue.
Beyond Borders.
While rescue remains essential, our focus is on changing the conditions that create the need for rescue in the first place.
Global Strays goes Beyond Rescue by addressing animal suffering at its source. Through spay and neuter, veterinary care, working-horse care, humane education, shelter support, and rescue assistance, we help animals today while working to prevent suffering tomorrow.
We go Beyond Borders because where an animal lives should not determine whether they suffer. Around the world, millions of animals live in communities that lack the resources to protect and help them.
At the heart of our approach is a simple idea: animals shouldn’t have to suffer in the first place—and suffering is easier to prevent than it is to undo.
Our Strategy
Saving animals today–preventing suffering tomorrow.
Humane Education
Education is at the heart of our work; our school and community workshops encourage empathy towards animals and provide vital frameworks for understanding them. We also train families with the skills to better care for their pets and working horses–building knowledge to create profound, lasting change for animals.
Spay and Neuter
Keeping animals off the streets starts with accessible spay/neuter programs. Our free clinics overcome cost barriers and address cultural perspectives on sterilization, empowering families to prevent unwanted litters. Because many pets in these communities roam freely, it dramatically curtails the devastating cycle of stray births.
Working Horse Care
For countless animals access to veterinary attention is out of reach. Global Strays bridges this gap with free clinics: providing many working horses with the only veterinary care they have ever received and supporting emergency interventions for cats and dogs, ultimately safeguarding livelihoods and empowering communities to protect the animals in their lives.
Shelter Support
Working in severely underserved areas of the world, our partner shelters are experts at identifying their communities’ needs and partner with us to create solutions that have a deep rooted impact. We provide them with financial support and technical assistance, ensuring they can provide shelter, care, food, veterinary services, for their rescues.
Our Story
From compassion to sustainable solutions
The problem was clear: underfed cats and dogs wandering the streets with no home to go to, and skeletal, injured working horses that struggled to make it home.
The solution was less clear: all of these animals desperately needed shelter, veterinary care, and food, but finding a loving home for every stray in countries where up to 60% of domestic animals are strays could take generations.
Determined to find sustainable solutions, Liz founded Global Strays in 2017. Today, together with local partners, Liz and her team design community based solutions that make a difference. By partnering with local veterinarians, animal advocates, and other animal welfare professionals, Global Strays tackles the root causes of animal suffering.
THE FUTURE WE’RE WORKING TOWARD
Our goal is a future in which fewer animals ever need rescuing.
Lasting animal welfare means addressing both the animal in front of us and the circumstances that put that animal at risk. By pairing immediate care and rescue support with long-term investments in prevention, education, veterinary access, and local capacity, we are working to reduce suffering—not just respond to it.
