My story

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

*** LOCAL ADOPTION ONLY ***

Hi! My name is Cool Hand Luke. Well ok, it’s just Luke, but I am cool and a joy to be around, if I say so myself !

I adore my humans, will lap up all the attention, hugs and kisses and give you unconditional love. I like other dogs, prefer ones my own size and energy level, calmer the better and respect my personal space, know boundaries. I'm not a huge fan of feathered friends, farm animals or cats, they kinda freak me out. I would be okay as an only child too because all I really need is a family to love forever, good times or bad. I'm super loyal, will always have your back and I’m a GREAT listener!

I also enjoy movie night' or lounging quietly reading a book (okay I really can’t read), and will even indulge you playing dress up, yep I’ll wear the hat & shirt you bought just for me! Anything for you. Once overhead the comment “he could easily become a mama’s boy”,

I may look like a tough guy but give me a few minutes and will melt anyone heart, well maybe not the cat! I enjoy any outing to see new places and make new friends, so count me in, going for car rides and walks one of my favorites.

I’m a good boy with proven home skills and will be a loving companion. My ideal home will be with dog savvy people to keep me centered in a calm, firm way and have a solid daily routine providing enrichment and exercise. I'm 8-years-young with bunches of snuggles, car rides, hikes and adventures to make memories with a family!

Contact my friends at Ruff Dog and tell them you want to meet "Cool hand LUKE".

Please note, we receive a large number of applications. We appreciate your patience as we complete our review processes. A personal interview, reference checks, meet and greet with pet, home visit and a solid vet history, including administering Heartworm prevention are required for adoption.

More about this rescue

Ruff Dog Rescue, RDR, INC is a NO KILL, non-profit, 501(c)3 all-breed charity pet rescue located in Milton, Georgia.

Through the collaborated efforts of our dedicated volunteers, we rescue dogs from Georgia's High/Quick KILL shelters or from dire situations and place them into temporary foster homes until find suitable forever home. Our foster families nurture, rehabilitate, socialize and train the rescued pet to facilitate their development while they await adoption.

RDR strives to create awareness to overwhelming homeless pet population. We do our part helping reduce the number of unwanted pets by spaying and neutering all our rescues, and encourage the public to ADOPT NOT SHOP! Our group is founded on the principle that no animal should die unwanted or unloved.

Ruff Dog Rescue turn Ruff Starts into New Beginnings🐾

The Ruff Crew & Pups rely on compassionate people and organizations to fund our mission of SAVING LIVES.

We need your HELP.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED. With the huge numbers of unwanted dogs in the South, the dogs depend on all of us to save them. You can make a difference in RDR's mission in many ways. We are always looking to add to our network of compassionate foster families. We accept fosters living in the Atlanta metro and north Georgia areas. Please visit our website and fill out a Foster Application at if you’re interested and we’ll be in touch! Fostering is FREE, rescue pays for all food, supplies and medical, all we need is your loving home for a handful of weeks.

We also need volunteers in a number of capacities, including administrative support staff, marketing and advertising, accounting, transport, helping at adoption events, walking/running dogs, and even "liking" and sharing our Ruff Dog Rescue GA Facebook page. If you are interested in becoming a RDR volunteer, please use the Contact Us page on our website.
