The mission of Ruff Love Rescue (www.ruffloverescue.com) is to provide a safe haven for homeless, abused, neglected, and/or abandoned dogs; especially those seen as poor adoption prospects. We maintain information about reputable canine organizations and rescues, networking with as many of these as possible to place adoptable dogs in responsible, loving environments, either through foster care or

whenever possible, forever homes. We are a home based foster group with no adoption facility. We adopt to North Carolina but in special circumstances can go out of state. We use every pro-bono means at our disposal to raise public awareness about homeless animals and responsible pet care as well as to find homes for our dogs. Dogs who are not adopted will live out their lives at Ruff Love. Ruff Love Rescue is run entirely by volunteers. We have full time jobs and save dogs in our spare time. Currently RLR has over 100 dogs. Since 1999, Sue Rogers, President/Founder and RLR volunteers have found forever homes for hundreds of homeless dogs.

We LOVE JUNCTION 311 ❤️🐾❤️🐾

Did you know that TODAY is National Dog Day?! 🐶❤️

We all know dogs are more than just man's best friend—they're family! And for so many of us, they're our favorite running buddies AND cuddle buddies. 🏃‍♀️🐕

Here at Junction 311, we LOVE our dogs and the organizations that help them, too! So if your pup loves to join you on adventures, we've got TWO races where dogs aren't just welcome…they're encouraged to participate!

🦃 RUNNING OF THE TURKEYS — THANKSGIVING DAY | GREENSBORO
Bring your four-legged family member along for the Family Fun Run/Walk at no additional cost!

And there's even a POOCH PARADE! 🐕🎉 Your pup can strut their stuff down the red carpet and get treats for participating from our friends at All Pets Considered!

🎄 JINGLE JOG 5K & SANTA STRUT — SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19 | WINSTON-SALEM

Your pup is invited to run or stroll with you—and you can even get a race bib just for FIDO so your best friend can officially be a runner, too! 🐾🏅

And if you don't have a dog of your own? We've got you covered! ❤️ We partner with Ruff Love Rescue to give you the opportunity to have an adoptable pup join you for your race-day run or stroll. Who knows…you might finish the race with a new best friend! 🐶🏠

Benson is a wonderful 4 yo male Pittie mix. He came to Ruff Love from a shelter when he was 6 months old, and he’s still here. There’s such a stigma for Pitbull mix dogs. Benson is such a good dog. He knows sit and stay. He walks well on a leash. He has an endearing habit of carrying his bone around like a lovey. He is exuberant when he plays, so he can be a bit much for some dogs. He would need a slow introduction with another confident dog. If you would like a meet and greet with this sweet boy, fill out an adoption form at RuffLoveRescue.com Thomasville, NC His adoption fee is $300. He’s fully vetted, neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on immunizations.
