My story

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

Meet Thelma & Louise — bonded, gentle, and deserving of another forever. (Louise)

Just over seven years ago, Thelma and Louise left our rescue together and were welcomed into a home where they were truly family. They were cherished, deeply loved, and given a life full of comfort, stability, and devotion.

Then tragedy struck — and through no fault of their own, they found themselves back with us.

Now just over seven years old, Thelma and Louise are scared and confused. The people they loved are gone, and everything familiar disappeared at once. Through it all, they have leaned on each other, staying close, quiet, and gentle.

They are the definition of easy companions:

Fully house trained

Calm, well-mannered, and proven in a homeNo barking, even in our busiest rescue environment

No chewing, no chaos — just peaceful presence

Completely non-reactive to other dogs

Sweet, affectionate, and endlessly lovable

These girls don’t ask for much. A soft place to rest. A calm home. Patience while their hearts heal. And most importantly — they must stay together. Their bond is their comfort, their safety, and their constant.

Thelma & Louise have already known love. They deserve to know it again.
If your home has room for two quiet souls who will fill it with gratitude and gentle affection, these girls are waiting — together, as they always have been.

Apply for consideration to adopt at www.ruffdogrescue.org

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 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.

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