Rescue Ur Forever Friend (RUFF) is an all volunteer, nonprofit rescue organization dedicated to reducing the homeless population of pets, through foster care, medical treatment and adoption into forever homes.

atment, vaccinations, spay/neuter services, microchipping and professional behavioral evaluation, training and rehabilitation if required. Our Vision: RUFF envisions a community where every pet finds a loving and permanent home, is spayed or neutered, and is treated with respect and compassion. Our Mission: Rescue Ur Forever Friend (RUFF) improves the quality of life of homeless pets by providing a safe refuge through excellent foster and medical care until their permanent homes are secured, ensuring a long lifetime of safety, love and companionship. Our Commitment: RUFF makes a lifetime commitment to every animal that it rescues and places through adoption. Accordingly, our adoption contract requires adopters to return their adopted pet to us if they find, for any reason, that they are no longer able to provide a loving home.

Hi there!! My name is Red, and I know I just met you, but I love you. I can keep you entertained all day with my playful antics. I will come running to greet you, enjoy playing with the other foster pups, and can't wait to learn new tricks. I love to play hard and then crash for a nap. I hope to make you my new best friend soon! I LOVE water and love playing in the puppy pool so would be a great lake dog, boat dog or fishing buddy! Please research my main breed, Australian Cattle Dog (85%), before putting in an application - my mind needs to be worked, and I would thrive best in a home with older kids. I tend to herd younger ones. I have attended basic puppy training and know commands including come, sit, down, stay, wait, place, leave it, look at me.

Hi! My foster mom says I am such an adorable pup with a very loving personality. I get along well with other dogs and with cats. Since I am a good boy, I am a well-behaved, know basic commands and am housebroken. Socializing with others, napping and chewing on my favorite bone are some of my favorite things. My foster mom and I enjoy going for walks, but I am also happy playing in the yard. I can't wait to meet you at our next adoption event!

National Adoption Week….

Hi, my name is Asiago, and I LOVE to play!

I’m a happy, high-energy puppy who’s always ready for my next adventure. Whether it’s chasing a ball, exploring the yard, or learning something new, I’m all in. I’m super smart (like… really smart), and I’m very food motivated—so training me should be lots of fun!

I’m what you’d call a “busy” pup—I don’t just want a home, I want a job ! I’d thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, hikes, training, or even dog sports. I’m bold, curious, and confident, and I’m not afraid to check things out and lead the way.

If you’re looking for a clever, adventurous best friend who will keep you on your toes and fill your days with fun, I might be your perfect match.

Let’s go play!

National Adoption Week…..

Velcro, Glue....what do these words mean? They describe me, Lulu. I am a 35 lb hound mix. I LOVE my humans so much that I stick to them like velcro or glue myself to them at night when we sleep. I love to play with the other foster dogs who are males and if you go for a ride, I'm ready to roll. I do not get along that well with female dogs. It also takes some time for me to trust humans, but once I do I will be loyal and loving. I am also very agile and would do great with agility training or just fetching balls all day. If you would like to meet me, complete an online application and my foster Mom will make it happen.

National Adoption Week…

This hunk a hunk a burning love is none other than Elvis!

At 7 years old, I am past the chewing stage, and have great house manners and know basic commands. Are you ready for a forever friend to watch TV with, hang out in the yard or garden with, and just be best buddies?

National Adoption Week continues….

Mia is the sweetest girl who is so appreciative to be in a warm foster home with lots of food and love. As a senior girl, we don't know her entire story, but we know it from being found walking down interstate 40 and then being abandoned at a vet.
Lucky for Mia, one of the vet techs stepped in to help her instead of her landing at the overcrowded animal shelter. As RUFF's vet said, she is the sweetest mess. Heartworm and Lyme positive, major dental wear, hip dysplasia, unaltered and has had many puppies in her long lifetime.

RUFF needs your help! Please donate and sponsor Mia as her medical bills are already plentiful just in her original assessment, meds, radiographs and bloodwork.

She is starting out 2026 right by beingh in a loving RUFF foster home while she goes through her year long series of treatment and surgery. Even though her remaining years may not be long, she deserves to be pampered and receive the best possible care to be comfortable and happy.

Visit our website:www.ncruff.org to fill out an adoption application. Once we receive your application. Mia’s foster coordinator will be in touch.

If you would like to donate to her care you can kick the donation button below or on our website.
