Ruff Life Rescue of the Carolinas
Every year, thousands of dogs across the United States face a heartbreaking fate due to overcrowded shelters, underfunding, and misconceptions about breed or size. In 2023 alone, over 360,000 dogs were euthanized—many of them healthy and deserving of a second chance. At Ruff Life Rescue of the Carolinas, we are dedicated to changing that statistic. We believe every dog has the potential to not only survive but to thrive and bring hope, healing, and joy to those in need.
Ruff Life Rescue has already rehomed over 80 dogs, giving them the love and security they deserve. After relocating to South Carolina, our goal is to establish a new rescue and training facility in Greenville or a nearby city.
Our mission is twofold: to rescue dogs on the brink of euthanization and transform their lives—and the lives of those they touch—by training them as support and companion dogs for disabled veterans and children with special needs. Together, we can give these dogs a second chance at life while making an immeasurable difference in the lives of those they help.
We connect our rescued dogs with disabled veterans and children with special needs, providing them with loyal companions who offer unconditional love and support.
We specialize in training rescued dogs to meet the unique needs of their future adopters, particularly veterans and children.
We promote responsible pet ownership, mental health awareness, and the importance of companion animals in fostering emotional well-being.
According to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 22 veterans commit suicide every day. Therefore, our target market consists of veterans who may be struggling with PTSD or other mental health issues and are looking for ways to cope and improve their mental health. We will partner with local veterans’ organizations and hospitals to promote our companion animal adoption program.
Children with special needs, along with those who have other significant disabilities, often isolate themselves, which limits their interactions with others. Research has shown that having a loving and loyal companion can greatly enhance their quality of life, benefiting both them and their families. This companionship also improves the overall well-being of the family as a whole.
