Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering

06/06/2026

Still feeling amazed! Last weekend our community came together with one shared belief: pets are family.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, bid, volunteered, or cheered our annual Birthday Bash fundraiser from afar, THANK YOU!

These funds will translate into wagging tails, second chances, relief for families in crisis, and joyful reunions when pets finally return home.💚

When your Great Dane is as tall as you are, reunions look a little different!

The moment she spotted her mom, Iris launched herself up onto her shoulders for the biggest hug imaginable. After time apart during a crisis, there is nothing better than seeing a family back together.

This is why we do what we do. 💚

We're proud to see many of our colleagues highlighted in this story about the growing movement to make shelters more welcoming for people and their pets. Compassionate solutions like these help strengthen both human and animal well-being.

Thanks to everyone making this work possible!

Shelters recognize that many would rather sleep on the street than leave their animals behind.

Birthday Bash is finally here! We can’t wait to celebrate with this incredible community tonight.

If you didn't buy your early bird ticket, still swing by! Tickets will be available for purchase at the door.

Every ticket, every auction bid, every sponsor, and every supporter helps keep pets and families together during times of crisis. See you there ✨

A special post is in order because our upcoming Birthday Bash would not be possible without the businesses, organizations, and community partners who chose to stand beside us and invest in this work.

Please join us in celebrating and supporting the amazing sponsors helping make this year’s Bash possible! 👏
