As a volunteer-powered non-profit organization, Ruff House Rescue would not exist without the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. The number of dogs and cats we can save depends on the number of volunteers we have helping us. Do you want to start a Rescue Club at your elementary school, junior high school, high school or college/university? Please join our Rescue!!
The super successful Syosset High School Dog Rescue Group on Long Island, New York taught students so much about rescue, and in one year they donated $3,500 and lots of toys to Ruff House Rescue. They also got to help at adoption events (under close supervision).
Serious inquiries only, please.
What to expect next:
We work with the individuals/teacher/parent-families starting with a 30 min zoom/phone call educating them about rescue/shelters/puppy mills etc, Ruff House Rescue's history and mission, and why and how we do what we do. We share ideas on how they can help these homeless animals beginning with the need for them to help educate others, the importance of fundraising, and an invitation to come to our adoption event to meet some of our adoptable dogs and cats. We welcome any type of community service and are here to help support any individual or organization's efforts and ideas.

VIDEO OF PJ & CLOVE (scroll down to the bottom of the page):
PJ had been sober for 2 years and he didn't have a job, he didn't have any accountability, he made the decision to start looking for a dog. A rescue group (Ruff House Rescue) had pulled Clove from a kill shelter. PJ just found a place to live. He got a call from the rescue and she was like, "PJ can you pick up Clove right now?" The first day PJ got Clove she was so scared and shut down, it was very awkward. She just cowered in his presence. And she was very timid. Watch the VIDEO to see how their story unfolds ...

Description
WE GO BIG, SO THEY GO HOME.
Going BIG means that our fosters and volunteers always show up in a big way and are incredibly hands-on, passionate, and dedicated, whether they are volunteering remotely, at our kennel, or at our adoption events.
Ruff House Rescue is the largest 501 (c)(3) non-profit rescue on the South Shore of Long Island. Our mission is to seek out under-served shelters and communities where we can make the biggest lifesaving impact. Our goal is to create a world where the kind and rewarding experience of adoption is the standard. We do this through tireless passion, commitment, and advocacy.
We are a foster-based network of animal lovers who seek to save as many lives as possible, as fast as we can. As a largely volunteer-based organization, we depend on the generosity of our Ruff House family to do this life changing work.
No animal is euthanized.
