There are most definitely stray dogs in the US. But the US is very big and varied in climate, terrain, and population density.
I'm in the suburbs and a stray dog would be caught and taken to a shelter. There are some coyotes, though.

Friends of mine have a farm in central VA. There is a pack of dogs that crosses their property, but they aren't truly stray - one of the neighbors "owns" them (I use "owns" loosely, as they aren't kept as house pets in the normal suburban sense of the word).
