RUFF Rescue Tucson is a small foster rescue organization started by a group of concerned friends more than decade ago. Our original focus was puppymills, but as the world and economy have changed we have added community intervention to our program. We hope to be able to either help with pet food to allow pets to stay in their current, loving homes or to take in the pets from the community that we can keep out of the already overcrowded county shelter systems. We survive on the generosity of benefactors and small fundraisers.

Additional adoption info
We require an adoption application with references, an initial phone interview and a home visit. All of our pets are fostered in private homes, so we may do the initial meeting at one of the foster homes. At adoption time, there is an adoption contract and an adoption fee ranging from $150-$450. All of our pets have been examined by a vet, have appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter and microchip.
