It's Ruff Without a Roof

Dog rescue in Union Dale, PA

It's Ruff Without a Roof is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit dog rescue located in Northeast PA. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome our dogs from high-kill shelters in the rural south. We are committed to saving the lives of dogs in southern kill-shelters who didn't stand a chance. All of our dogs were on the "emergency list" and scheduled for euthanization. However, we could see in their eyes that they deserved a chance at life - a chance at a great life with a loving owner.
