Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based rescue, so animals live in volunteer homes and are not available for public viewing at the office. To meet an animal you are interested in potentially adopting, please fill out an adoption application to be connected to their foster family.
Visitors are welcome at our office, but appointments are strongly advised. Please email us at info@ruffstartrescue.org to be connected to the individual or department best suited for your inquiry.
Need help with an animal? You can learn more about surrendering an owned pet on our Surrender page. For more information about how to deal with lost and/or found animals, please visit our Lost & Found Pets page. Please note: Ruff Start Rescue accepts surrendered animals on an appointment-only basis. (This is because we do not have room to house animals on-site, and need to coordinate an appropriate foster home for the surrendered animal before we can commit to bringing it into rescue.)
