Ruff Start Rescue consists of a group of volunteers who dedicate their time, energy and other resources to help the dogs in our care. Our mission is to responsibly rescue and re-home dogs in need. We are currently an all-breed rescue with a focus on "family-friendly" dogs who through no fault of their own have found their way into municipal shelters or whose owners can no longer keep them.
