Stray Dogs: Name Ideas for Stray, Found or Rescued Dogs

Are you looking for that perfect dog name that just fits your dog that was rescued? Naming a dog can be difficult.

One way many pet owners do it is to look for a name that goes with your dog’s personality, physical characteristic or maybe even how he is found. Do you have a stray? Or did you rescue a dog? Here are some names ideas for dogs that were found, rescued and stray dogs.

Some strays are named for the street where they were found or the community where they were found. For example, I know a dog named “Bethel” because he was found on “Bethel road” and another dog named “Franklin” because he was found wandering in “Franklin County”. Another common way is by the day of the week that you found the dog – I know a dog named “Friday” that was found on a Friday.

I hope this helps you find the perfect name for your dog!
