Story
Journey has been at the rescue for close to 3 years! Despite his lengthy stay he has continued to be incredibly sweet and affectionate. He is not only friendly towards humans, but also plays well with other dogs, making him an ideal companion for a multi-dog household. He is playful - loves toys. Journey also enjoys meeting new people, always hoping that one of the new humans will take him home. It is hard to believe that this friendly guy has been in rescue for most of his life. Is it because he isn't as pretty as some other dogs? It certainly isn't because of his behavior. Journey is waiting to have a home of his own with people who will provide him with the love and attention he deserves.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
Meet the Encanto Litter — our magical new Draft Picks! This beautiful little family came to Ruff Draft from one of our trusted rescue partners in Texas, after they were found under an abandoned house in San Antonio. They may have had a rough start, but they are safe now and we’re so excited to introduce them to their future forever teams. Mama Julieta is about 1.5 years old and believed to be a Carolina Dog mix. She is the absolute sweetest, housebroken and crate trained already. She arrived in rescue with eight puppies — five of them made their way to Ruff Draft and officially joined our roster as Draft Picks. The puppies were born 12/9/25 and include three girls (Isabella, Mirabel, and Pepa) and two boys (Antonio and Felix). Each pup has their own unique look — Pepa is especially striking with bold black-and-tan coloring, Isabella, Mirabel, and Felix sport classic shepherd-style coloring (with varying levels of fluff), and Antonio stands out with his beautiful white tricolor coat and resemblance to mom. We suspect there may be some shepherd in the mix, though they also look surprisingly similar to Chinook puppies though that's not as common of a breed. What we do know for sure: this whole crew is Game Day Ready. They’re super playful, active, social pups who are doing great with kids, cats, and other dogs. Whether you’re looking for a young teammate or a sweet mama ready for her own happily-ever-after, this family is ready to start their next chapter. Breed & Size Disclaimer: We make our best guess on breed based on coat type, size, muzzle shape, and other physical traits, but breed mix, adult size, and weight cannot be guaranteed. We always welcome friendly suggestions if you think something may be inaccurate!

Story
Banjo is a sweet, loving pup who enjoys playing and running. He’s friendly, good natured, and gets along well with kids. Training: Banjo is pad-trained, so he’s great at using a designated indoor bathroom spot—perfect for apartment living or busy schedules! He knows several commands as he was trained while he was a puppy (but may have forgotten several commands since we don't normally use some of them). Ideal Home: Banjo would thrive in a home where he can enjoy companionship and have space to play. Whether you're looking for a snuggle buddy or a playful friend, he’s ready to bring joy to his new family. Rehoming Reason: Due to a change in living circumstances (having young children), we’re looking for a loving new home for Banjo where he can get the attention he deserves.

Story
Sunny is an excitable, playful, and highly social dog. He is great with other dogs, especially those who want to get into some rough-and-tumble play with him. He's about a year and four months old, and we adopted him a few months ago from the pound. We are looking to re-home him because upon adopting him, we recognized that his energy needs are simply higher than we are able to offer as owners (his behavioral presentation was quite different at the pound, and his previous owners had unfortunately left no notes about him at home). Sunny is curious, independent, loves games and puzzles, and loves to play. He would be excellent in a home with a yard where he can do some sniffing enrichment, or in a home with another dog who loves to playfully roughhouse a bit. We're listing him with a $0 adoption fee because it's very important to us that he's in a good home, and we want to make that as easy as possible for him and you. If you like a sweet and energetic dog, Sunny is the one for you!
