Celebrating our 21st year
helping our furry friends!
RUFF (Rescuing Unwanted Furry Friends) is a caring non-profit organization dedicated to helping pets and their owners with financial assistance for veterinary care. We have been helping sick, injured, and abandoned animals since 1989. Also, RUFF financially supports animal rescues from "KILL" shelters. On average, RUFF volunteers have helped over 1000 animals every year by providing financial support. Poor economic conditions have greatly increased RUFF's need for donations.
RUFF Volunteers receive numerous phone calls every day from pet owners and rescuers requesting financial assistance. Veterinary care has become extremely costly. This fact has placed many pet owners and rescuers in a situation where it has become financially impossible to provide the medication and surgical care required. RUFF's mission is to provide the financial aid our sick and injured furry friends are in desperate need of. We depend solely on donations to help these animals.
To help feed the animals in animal shelters, please go to the following websites everyday:

RUFF NEEDS YOUR CHANGE
The economy has hit people hard. No news there but it means it is tougher for many folks to help their pets medically or to even keep them. Some weeks RUFF is lucky to receive 50 dollars in donations! If everyone reading this were to put a quarter or two quarters a day in a container on their dresser, in one year you would have between 90-180 dollars to donate and could take it off your taxes! That would help one or two pets. To every pet, it means a chance to live a better life. Please consider saving your change for those animals that need our help, everyday of the year. It will lighten up your pockets and purses for a good cause. We want to thank those who have done garage sales, lemonade stands, and recycled for our group.
