Honor a Bond That Saved a Life

Every tribute gift fuels three lifesaving programs: our Hero Awards recognizing K-9 rescuers, our Drones4Dogs aerial search & rescue fleet, and our disaster response deployments.

Tribute gifts are especially meaningful for marking the loss of a beloved pet, celebrating a rescue dog's "gotcha day," remembering a friend who loved animals, or honoring a veterinarian, foster, or first responder.

Ruff Rough is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. EIN #87-4745143. Your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
