Ruff Tales Rescue - Chelmsford Pet Shelter

Ruff Tales Rescue

Ruff Tales Rescue is a dog rescue operating in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island that is dedicated to saving the lives of abandoned dogs and redirecting them to stable, loving environments that serve as their forever home or the bridge to their forever home. We strive to be ambassadors for all breeds and to make excellent matches for our fosters, adopters, and dogs. We also educate the community on the importance of responsible pet ownership and proper care. We are a 501(c)(3) dog rescue based in New England. We rescue abandoned, abused and often neglected dogs from states with significant overpopulation issues and work tirelessly to place them in loving, responsible homes. RTR is committed to dogs of all ages, breeds and those who may have pre-existing medical conditions. We are not a shelter and do not have a brick and mortar facility. Instead, we rely on devoted foster families who open their hearts and homes to our dogs on a temporary basis. Foster families are the backbone of our lifesaving work and we support them in all aspects from medical care to training to supplies. We are truly a community of committed dog lovers. RTR is a completely volunteer run organization. With no paid employees, our volunteers come together to make a difference in the lives of our dogs every day. Everything we are able to accomplish is attributable to the unending devotion and hard work of our volunteers.

Adoption Process

Our Adoption Fee is $450. All of our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on required vaccines, heartworm tested (if old enough), current on flea/tick & heartworm prevention, dewormed, and microchipped. The adoption donation also helps offset the costs associated with transport to New England, state mandated quarantine, and health certificates.
