We're grateful for our partnership with Fit To Recover an organization dedicated to helping individuals build healthy, purpose-filled lives in recovery through fitness, community, service, and connection.

Each week, Fit To Recover members spend time walking Ruff Haven dogs, providing exercise, enrichment, and companionship for pets staying in our care. It's a meaningful partnership that supports both people and pets on their journey toward stability and healing.

Thank you, Fit To Recover, for the incredible work you do in our community. 🐾💚

✨Your favorite May photo dump is here! ✨

Our Birthday Bash photo gallery is officially ready, and we're still feeling the love from an incredible evening together.

Thanks to this amazing community, we raised $61,300 to support pets and families facing crisis. Every dollar will help create second chances, provide relief when it's needed most, and make more happy reunions possible. 💚

Enjoy a look back at some of our favorite moments and thank you Kelli Freshman Photography for capturing the night.

Home Is Where the Human Is. 💚

Pets don't care about square footage, fancy furniture, or a perfect address. They care about being with you.

Our new 2026 Ruff Haven shirt celebrates the bond that keeps families together through crisis.

Still feeling amazed! Last weekend our community came together with one shared belief: pets are family.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, bid, volunteered, or cheered our annual Birthday Bash fundraiser from afar, THANK YOU!

These funds will translate into wagging tails, second chances, relief for families in crisis, and joyful reunions when pets finally return home.💚

When your Great Dane is as tall as you are, reunions look a little different!

The moment she spotted her mom, Iris launched herself up onto her shoulders for the biggest hug imaginable. After time apart during a crisis, there is nothing better than seeing a family back together.

This is why we do what we do. 💚

We're proud to see many of our colleagues highlighted in this story about the growing movement to make shelters more welcoming for people and their pets. Compassionate solutions like these help strengthen both human and animal well-being.

Thanks to everyone making this work possible!

Shelters recognize that many would rather sleep on the street than leave their animals behind.
