Welcome Spring Fling newcomer, Rescue Ur Forever Friend! This nonprofit rescue group has recently started coming to Unleashed stores for meet and greets and we are looking forward to seeing them at Spring Fling!
Rescue Ur Forever Friend (RUFF) is an all-volunteer, foster based, nonprofit rescue dedicated to reducing the homeless population of pets, through foster care, medical treatment and adoption into forever homes. RUFF encourages responsible pet ownership through community outreach and education.
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."
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. RUFF also encourages responsible pet ownership through education, advocacy, programs and services."

And don't forget to stop by their booth at Spring Fling and say hello! In addition to adoptable dogs, they will have some RUFF merch, and even a book!
One of the RUFF adopters, Karen Ruben, wrote a book, Ruff Riders, based on a true story about the volunteers that rescued a litter of puppies that included Ruby, the dog that she would end up adopting from RUFF.
In the book, 11-year-old Olivia Thomas longs for a dog of her own, but her reluctant parents don't think that she is responsible enough. When she hears about an abandoned dog with a litter of puppies in the forest, she and her friend April, along with their new tech-savvy friend, Quinn, leap into action.
Through teamwork, family, and community, Olivia learns that anything important is worth the effort.
A portion of the proceeds from the book go to RUFF! Learn more about the book and author here: Rescue Ur Furever Friend
