Ruffly came from a hoarding case and was one of more than 50 dogs stacked in cages. His hair was so matted he couldn’t extended his legs fully, causing severe pain and difficulty walking. This is a common condition for puppy mill dogs used as breeders.
2
Ruffly required extensive dental work due to abscesses and fractured teeth. Thanks to donations to the medical fund his mouth is now pain free.
3
This is what Ruffly looked like we he arrived. Mats can be extremely painful due to the hair constantly pulling at the skin. It’s very important that you keep a close eye on long haired animals to ensure they are not forming mats.

Donations to the Paws to Train program pay for training. Some dogs need a little help becoming highly adoptable by learning manners and basic training. We want every dog to find it’s forever home, not a home that works for now.

Donations help support the foster and volunteer program. Without the program director it would be very difficult to coordinate everything.
