My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adorable Willie came to rescue from a small county shelter with three friends when his family had to make the decision to surrender some of their dogs. He's a little shy on first meeting. He only weighs about eight pounds and is thought to be around five years old. For an application please text Donna@(520)490-0401 or June@(520)870-1303 or click the Apply to Adopt link next to the pet's picture above.

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.

Go meet their pets

Most of our adoptions are done as private adoptions. We have chosen not to do large venues because we do not allow pets to leave an adoption event unless an application and a home visit have already been completed.
The events that we do are partnered with Holistic Pet Shoppes and Taylor Tack and Feed.

More about this rescue

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.
