Rescue Ur Forever Friend (RUFF) is returning to Spring Fling! 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 envisions a community where every pet finds a loving and permanent home, is spayed or neutered, and is treated with respect and compassion.

RUFF's Mission is to improve 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.
At RUFF, they believe every animal deserves a second chance at love. They are a foster-based, all-volunteer rescue in Triangle, powered entirely by people who give their time, hearts, and homes to save lives. Because RUFF's dogs live in foster families, they receive real love, real structure, and real healing while they wait for their forever homes.
RUFF isn't just rescuing pets; they are building a compassionate community that believes every tail wag matters. From late-night transports to joyful adoption days, it truly takes a village, and they are so proud of theirs. Every adoption is a celebration, every foster is a hero, and every volunteer is part of the heartbeat of this mission.
When you support RUFF, you’re not just helping an animal, you’re giving hope, love, and a fresh start. If you have thought about fostering, come talk to them, they would love to share more. RUFF had 65 dogs adopted this past year. Help them rescue even more by fostering!
Meet Peach!

(available as of 4/11/26)
"Hi there! My name is Peach, or Peaches, or Peachie. You can call me any of them. I'm a big girl (95lbs) but I don't know I am that large (I still think I'm a puppy). Like my fruity name, I’m sweet, full of personality, and a little zesty too! I’m a happy, playful, and cuddly girl who loves adventures,
walks, and curling up in your lap or by your feet for snuggles.
I’m looking for a loving home with adults or older kids who can appreciate my playful, affectionate personality. My foster mom says I’m a joy to care for, and she has experience with dogs like me, so she knows just how to make me feel comfortable and secure."
