What is Stray Buddy?
Stray Buddy is a community-led support platform focused on street dog care, coexistence, and conflict prevention.
We support caregivers, residents, RWAs, NGOs, and local stakeholders with tools, resources, awareness, and guidance to strengthen community dog management at the local level.
Why Community-Led Care Matters
Safer communities for dogs & people
Dogs respond best to familiar people, predictable care, and consistent routines.
Long-term, local solutions
Long-term solutions come from awareness, coordination, and shared responsibility.
Support instead of conflict
Understanding behaviour, reducing stressors, and improving systems helps create safer spaces for everyone.
