Last weekend we joined our favorite people at Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering as they provided free vaccines and microchips to almost 300 pets here in Salt Lake City!
(There were lots of adorable dogs and cats but you know I can’t resist photographing alllll of the dachshunds 😊)
We’ve had the privilege of working with Ruff Haven a lot this past year, and each experience has been so meaningful. Their mission is simple but powerful: to provide a safe haven for pets during times of crisis for their people.
Because of this work, hundreds of pets have been able to stay with the people who love them most instead of being surrendered to shelters.
This past week, they helped a family who was being deported and heartbroken about what to do with their dog, Haru. Ruff Haven covered the cost of his flight and assisted with the certificates he needed to travel with his family.
With so much heavy news in the world, it feels good to support an organization that truly shows up for every member of our community, no matter who they are. If you’re looking for an organization to support this year, I promise this is a great one with so much heart.

Also, the last photo is a plaque Ruff Haven designed for mine and my husband’s flooring store 🤣
Our store, S**g Rug La, sponsored some astroturf for the dog kennels at Ruff Haven and this was how they honored us 🌭 We love it so verrrrrry much.
