Story
🥜 PEANUT BRITTLE LITTER 🥜 Meet Peanut & Brittle! These two little girls were found dumped alongside our Stadium Snacks litter, but they appear to be from a different litter. Peanut and Brittle are estimated to be around 8 weeks old and look a whole lot like Fox Terrier mixes. Of course, without knowing their parents, breed is always our best guess! 🐾 2 females — Peanut & Brittle 🎂 Approximately 8 weeks old 🦊 Fox Terrier mixes — best guess! 📏 Expected to be small-to-medium adults These girls are a little more timid and unsure than their Stadium Snack friends. New people and new situations can be a little intimidating at first, but give them some time, a safe lap, and plenty of cuddles and they start to warm right up. ❤️ They may need a little extra reassurance while they figure out that they're safe, but underneath those nervous first impressions are two incredibly sweet little girls. Now Peanut & Brittle are safe, getting all the cuddles they need, and waiting for forever teams ready to help them come out of their shells. 🥜🐶❤️

Story
🐾 HARRY POTTER POODLE MIX LITTER 🐾 These five little ones came to us following a puppy mill shutdown and are estimated to be around 8-9 weeks. Thankfully, they appear to be in good physical condition, but they’re still figuring out the whole people can be good thing. ❤️ They can be a little skittish and unsure at first, but they’re slowly learning to trust, accept affection, and settle into life outside of where they came from. Breed-wise, there is definitely some Poodle happening here! Based on their current size and age, we believe they are Mini Poodle mixes. They may have some type of Retriever mixed in—possibly Golden Retriever or Lab—but without knowing their parents, your guess is about as good as ours! ✨ Meet the litter: Girls: Ginny, Hermione, Myrtle Boys: Ron & Harry A little magical, a lot adorable, these babies haven’t had the start every puppy deserves, so we’re giving them some time to learn that hands bring cuddles, people bring good things, and being part of a family can be pretty great. Their rough draft is officially behind them. Now they just need their forever teams—and maybe a little magic along the way. 🪄❤️

🏜️ THE ARIZONA LITTER… FROM ALABAMA. 🐾 Nope, they’ve never been to Arizona. 😂 They just needed names, and apparently we were feeling a little Southwest that day. Meet Phoenix, Glendale, Chandler, Prescott, Gilbert, Sedona, Yuma & Tucson — eight babies who made their way to us from Alabama when they were just 8 weeks old. 🏈 THE BOYS: Phoenix • Glendale • Chandler • Prescott • Gilbert 🎀 THE GIRLS: Sedona • Yuma • Tucson Most of the crew has beautiful tan, brown and rusty-colored coats, while a few clearly decided they needed to stand out from their siblings. When these babies arrived, they were labeled as Pit mixes, and that's what we've continued to call them. We try really hard not to slap a more "adoptable" breed label on a dog just because it sounds better. But now that they're getting older and filling out... 👀 We have to admit—they're looking surprisingly Lab-ish. Will DNA eventually tell us they're 17 different breeds and exactly 3% Lab? Entirely possible. 😂 Rescue genetics love to keep us humble. So for now, Pit mix / mixed breed is our best guess. What we can tell you with confidence is that this crew is outgoing, social, happy and ready to find their forever teams. They've been growing up in rescue long enough. It's time for these Arizona babies to get drafted. 🏈❤️ 📍 Alabama born. Illinois fostered. Arizona themed. Forever home TBD. Dogs first. Always.

Story
🐾 Meet Masha & Bear! Masha and Bear came to us together and are learning that life can be a little softer—and a whole lot less scary. 💚 🎀 Masha — Female, approximately 4 years old 🐻 Bear — Male, approximately 3 years old These two are small white dogs with naturally soft, fluffy coats. Based on their size, coat type, and appearance, we believe they may be Shih Tzu, Maltese, or similar small-breed mixes. They arrived severely matted, which left us with very limited grooming options. Both had to be shaved down for their comfort, so don’t let their current haircuts fool you! Once they’ve had some time to decompress, they’ll be ready for a proper spa day to really feel fancy. ✨ Their coats should grow back beautifully—right now they’re just little blank canvases waiting for their glow-up! Masha and Bear clearly know each other and find comfort in being together, but they do not appear to be bonded and can absolutely be adopted separately. Both are a little shy and cautious right now, so we think they would do best in calmer homes where they can decompress, build confidence, and learn to trust at their own pace. Quick movements and lots of activity can be overwhelming while they’re adjusting, so a home without small children would give them the opportunity to come out of their shells without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. For now, we’re giving them the time and space they need to realize they’re safe. Soon enough, we think we’ll be looking at two fluffy, fancy little dogs wondering why anyone ever let them live any other way. 💚🐾✨

Story
🐾 The “Wait… How Many?!” Puppies Litter 🐾 We got a call about four puppies from two unwanted litters who needed somewhere safe to go. Four puppies? Finally—a manageable number! 😂 We said yes, hopped in the car, and headed out to get them. Except when we arrived, there were not four. There were SIXTEEN. Yep. 16 puppies. We still have absolutely no idea where the number four came from. 😂 These little ones are small mixed-breed puppies, most likely some combination of Chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier—but when it comes to an accidental litter with unknown parents, your guess is about as good as ours! What we do know is that these puppies were unwanted and at risk of a terrible fate until a concerned neighbor found out about them and made the call that changed everything. We stepped up and welcomed 9 of the 16 puppies into Ruff Draft, and the remaining 7 are safe, warm, and cared for while they wait for us. ❤️ And this is where our community comes in. Every one of these nine puppies who finds a forever family opens up space for us to go back and welcome another baby from the remaining seven. So when you adopt one of these puppies, you’re not just changing one life—you’re helping us make room to save the next one, too. One adoption. Two dogs saved. 🐾❤️ Now we just need 16 families ready to help turn one very unexpected rescue call into 16 happily-ever-afters.
