Rugaz Rescue Inc

Our mission is to foster, rehabilitate and re-home abused, neglected, and abandoned dogs (Most specifically the Pit Bull and Mastiff Type Dog) that are scheduled for euthanasia in Florida Animal Service Facilities due to medical space or time needs.

Additionally, we will make every feasible attempt to assist individuals who are possibly looking at the option of surrendering their dog due to emergencies, changes in family structure and financial instability. This is a our homeless no more plan!

Our Education programs will aid families with education who are currently handling unruly dogs and encourage a stronger bond, while in the hopes of keeping them together forever. We will always value the importance of community involvement by continually seeking ways to educate and promote responsible dog and Pit Bull Type Dog ownership to the public.

The welfare of our dogs will be placed above all else and we will strive to make their lives better by any means necessary. Before our fur kids leave us, they will be spayed/neutered, de-wormed, immunized, micro-chipped, socialized, temperament evaluated and treated for any necessary (Known) medical needs they may have. We pride ourselves on only placing ambassadors of the dog breed itself, no matter the breed.
