Ruff Rescue Transport is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) organization that helps bridge the gap for animals needing a ride to a rescue. Without a ride, many of the animals would not make it out of high intake shelters. Our mission is to help end the needless euthanasia of dogs and cats by transporting them to locations where they are more adoptable. We partner with reputable 501(c)(3) rescues, who wil

l ultimately find our passengers good homes. Ruff Transport is here to do our part in helping these animals. Thank you for your support of our mission.

Momma Mocha and her 8 babies were dumped in rural area to fend for themselves. She spent the night here and this morning we meet up with Toni’s Team to get her to Lamancha. Thanks Beth Wallin Cassady for saving them from the road, wild animals, dehydration, starvation, tick infestations and bad people.

Skylar is the black pittie mix. She is suffering from years of breeding, ear bleeding/infections, ear hematomas and was covered in ticks of all sizes. She was in a lot of pain. Your donations helped pay for her to see a vet prior to her Freedom Ride yesterday. She had waited long enough to get some help.

The rest of the 19 dogs on board are very lucky to get out of the shelters they came from. They are on their way to better days and we thank you for your support of Ruff Transport and the rescues that helped this run Adopt A Pit Cause for Canines and LaMancha Animal Rescue

We helped bring up a litter of pups a few weeks ago. When they went to collect the pups on transport day, they were one short. We feared the worst for the missing pup.
She was found a few days later thank goodness! I guess KiKi just wanted her own private ride to rescue so that's what she got on Tuesday. Thanks Cindy Roberts Armstrong for making sure she got to safety, and to the rescue of KiKi and her littermates Barely Used Pets.

Friday, Ruff Transport had 34 dogs on board. 14 adults ( 2 pregnant) and 22 puppies (4 litters). One made it to her fosters just in time. She had 9 beautiful babies in safety last night. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶. So I "kind of" had 45 passengers - haha

Thats a lot of dogs-I know. Not something I think is a good idea on a regular basis. But I have transported large numbers before. It takes hours and hours of prep in communications and van arrangement. But the process helps everything go smoother on transport day, and saves many problems that may have come up.
We also had some overnighters and they are making their way to Lamancha in PA today with Toni's Team . Thanks for your support!

Our run today was a 3 Hound Freedom Ride. We were part of longer transports that included two foxhounds that have not been able to secure a ride for over a month, and a pregnant Hound that needed sprung from the shelter asap. We drove Lexington to North Dayton for these 3 and hurried back home to welcome a mom amd her two pups spending the night. They were extremely urgent due to their living situation.

Thanks to the wonderful lady and her daughter (i didn't catch their names!) who brought them all the way from southern KY to me today in OH. That's a rough drive but it saved their life.♥️

Just a happy day when you help with some dogs heading out to a better life. 🌞
Thursday was the big transport day when we picked everyone up from several rescue groups and gave them a ride north. Two spent a few days with me, before heading to a PA rescue. Thanks for your support of theae rides. 🙏

On Friday we were back out on the highway to help some rescue groups move animals to rescues that have more resources and adopters. We brought a litter of 10 puppies, plus 8 adult for Love of Paws and TWHRA. Additionally, we had four Pulaski cats, and a litter of wee kittens from a good samaritans who said the momma cat had been run over by a car in rural KY.

We never charge for transport. Your donations make this happen. The sending rescue groups, and receiving rescues have many many expenses to get these babies ready for new homes. The additional burden of paying for transport is not in their budgets. So thank you for your support to get dogs and cats like these a chance!

Thursdays run logged 400 miles. Ruff Transport helped with two legs of a longer transport to move seven sweet puppies to safety. We also took three bigger dogs to another rescue. Both groups were urgent and we were glad to help. Thank you Cindy Roberts Armstrong and Ellie Grant for all you do. Both work tirelessly in KY and have helped many people, and KY, by assisting with displaced and stray animals.

Earlier in the week I was planning to go to KY for a good size load of Freedom Riders. This weeks plans dwindled down to just Starla. But what a happy day for her! She's looking forward to new start where she'll be loved and wanted. Happy to help with her Freedom Ride today.
If any rescues can help, she had 4-5 siblings that desperately need a rescue. She was a real gem today, calm and sweet as can be. If you're a rescue and can help another contact Jenny Neat or me, and we can get you in touch.
