My story

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

Ruffy was an owner surrender to the Humane Society of St Thomas in February 2023. Pet Search personally selected him because of his wonderful disposition as well as the shelter is overfilled to capacity and we knew he was too sweet to live in a crate forever.
"Low rider dachshund /corgi mix is a 2.5 year old ( 2/28/21) neutered male has a great personality in a small compact body. Ruffy weighs 42 pounds, is fully vaccinated and microchipped. He is heartworm positive with all treatment including retest covered by Pet Search. He is very laid back and is in a foster home with cats and a rambunctious golden retriever pup.
Ruffy is housebroken and crate trained and will make a wonderful addition to a home with children over the age of 6.

More about this rescue

Pet Search is an all-volunteer, non-euthanizing rescue and placement service that has been in Washington County since 1985. Pet Search's philosophy is that all pets deserve a second chance for a hoe and love. Pet Search has chosen not to use a shelter-type environment with kennels and cages, but perfers to "home shelter" animals with volunteers in private homes. Pet Search is a privately funded organization, relying on the generousity of fellow animal lovers.

* Animal Rescue and Placement/ Adoptions
* Fundraising
* Homeless and Feral Cat Trapping (aluminum recycling is used to fund this program)
