Ruff Pack Refuge is a 501(c)3 non-profit rescue organization located in the heart of the Gold Country in beautiful Northern California. RPR typically rescues seniors and medical dogs with no advocates facing euthanasia in the shelter system. Our program is unique where the need is overwhelming and we operate with the utmost integrity providing medical care and a lifelong family and resource through Ruff Pack Refuge. We strive to never euthanize a pet for treatable health conditions or undesirable behavior. We place Ruff Pack Pups with thoroughly screened families and educate the new owners to better help them make responsible, informed decisions regarding the health and safety of their new senior dog. There are times we are presented with young, healthy adoptable puppies/dogs needing urgent placement due to loss of income, housing, or health reasons. In these particular cases, we treat each dog with the same care and concern when considering their new placement with an adoptable family and make sure to educate adopters about the long term commitment they are about to undertake. Anytime we receive a litter of puppies the owner must agree to let us spay, vaccinate, and microchip the mother dog. Currently, we are Rescue Partners with the following shelters in these counties: Nevada, San Joquin, Placer, El Dorado, Sacramento, Stanislaus, and Los Angeles.
If you are not an approved adopter, you can apply. Then, fill out our adoption form and send it to adopt@ruffpack.org. Once approved, we will help you set up a meet and greet with the dog of your choice.
