Our Toy Story litter is officially ready for adoption! Meet Buzz, Jessie, Woody, Bo Peep, and their beautiful mama Dolly — all looking for loving forever families. 🤍

✔️ Super sweet and affectionate

How is this girl still not adopted?! 🤯

Meet Chili 🌶️ — your future adventure buddy in the cutest, most compact package.

At 7 months old and just 15 lbs, she’s the perfect size to take everywhere… and trust me, she’s ready for it. Hiking? Yes. Camping? Absolutely. Beach days? 100%. She’s the kind of dog you could throw in a backpack and snowboard down a mountain with… or take along for road trips, trail runs, paddleboarding, coffee runs, weekend getaways—you name it, she’s in 😍

Chili is the definition of FUN. She’s a high-energy, happy little soul who wakes up every day ready to live life to the fullest. She loves everyone—people, kids, dogs—and just wants to be part of the action.

She’s also incredibly special—a parvo survivor 💪 which makes her even more of a little fighter with so much life ahead of her.

Her mix? Belgian Malinois, Pomeranian, Poodle, and American Eskimo Dog—basically a mini Malinois. She is so smart, eager to please, and thrives when she has a job or an adventure to focus on.

✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Potty trained
✔️ Quick learner

And when she’s not out exploring? She’s all love. Face kisses, full-body wiggles, and that adorable little nub tail going nonstop 🥹

She’s looking for someone who wants a true sidekick—an active home that will include her in all of life’s adventures and give her the outlet she thrives on.

Seriously… how is she still here?

Meet Ranger 🤠
Ranger is a 1-year-old, 26 lb, Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mix with the sweetest soul and a playful, loving personality that wins over everyone he meets. He’s incredibly friendly, loves other dogs, and is always ready for a good play session. Whether he’s romping around with his dog friends or soaking up affection from his people, Ranger is just a happy, joyful boy who wants to be part of the action.
Ranger’s story is heartbreaking—he was sadly abandoned when his previous owners moved out and left him behind. After that, a kind person took him in, but just a week later he came down with Parvo. At that point, he officially became a Ruff Project dog, and we stepped in to hospitalize him and fight for his life. Thankfully, Ranger is a fighter—he pulled through and is now healthy, thriving, and ready for his fresh start.
Despite everything he’s been through, he is incredibly loving, trusting, and eager to connect with people. He truly deserves a second chance at the life he’s always deserved—safe, loved, and part of a family.
This handsome guy would make an incredible adventure buddy. Hikes, beach days, long walks, road trips—you name it, Ranger is ready to go. He thrives when he has an active lifestyle and a person (or family) who wants a companion by their side through it all.
Ranger went through a three-week board and train program—not because of any behavioral issues, but because he is incredibly smart and simply never had the opportunity to learn the basics, like being on a leash. With a dog like Ranger, we want to set both him and his future adopter up for success. We are investing the time and resources into giving him a strong foundation so he can confidently transition into his forever home.
As a cattle dog, Ranger is part of a highly intelligent and driven breed. These dogs are known for their loyalty, work ethic, and sharp minds. With that comes some important needs:
• High energy – Ranger will need daily exercise and mental stimulation
• Structure & routine – he does best with consistency and clear expectations
• Training – he’s very smart and will thrive with continued guidance and engagement
• Purpose – whether it’s hiking, training games, or even “jobs” at home, he loves to use his brain
Because of this, Ranger would do best with someone who has experience with herding breeds or is committed to learning and meeting the needs of a working-type dog. These dogs are not just pets—they’re partners.
The good news? When their needs are met, cattle dogs like Ranger are truly some of the most incredible companions you’ll ever have. They are deeply loyal, endlessly fun, and form the strongest bonds with their people.
Ranger has already been through more than he ever should have—but he hasn’t lost his sweet, happy spirit. Now he’s just waiting for someone to show him what it means to truly be home!

From surgeries to snuggles—help us cover Mochi’s medical journey 🐾

At just 4 years young, this squishy-faced English Bulldog is everything you could ever want—sweet, snuggly, resilient, and full of love. Mochi has been through more than most dogs ever should, and yet she greets every day (and every person) with the happiest wiggle and the softest kisses.
#
Mochi recently underwent a long list of medical procedures to give her the healthy, pain-free life she deserves:
✨ Spay surgery
✨ Double cherry eye repair (yes… twice to fully correct it)
✨ Oral mass removal + biopsy (benign 🙌)
✨ Additional small mass removal (also benign)
✨ Dental procedure to get her smile feeling fresh
✨ Ongoing eye medications for dry eye
✨ Care from a veterinary eye specialist
See her pics from today, from day 1 through her journey!
This girl has been THROUGH IT—but she’s handled it like an absolute champ. 💪

Now we need your help. Her total medical costs have reached $7,000, and we’re working hard to cover these expenses so we can continue helping dogs just like Mochi.

💗 How you can help Mochi:
• Donate any amount—every dollar truly makes a difference
• Share her story to help us reach more people
• Apply to adopt and give her the forever home she’s been waiting for

Because yes… Mochi is STILL looking for her person. 🥺

She deserves a cozy couch, a loving family, and someone who will adore her for the rest of her life. She’s past the hard part—now she just needs her happy ending.

If you’ve ever loved a bulldog, you know how special they are… and Mochi is no exception. She’s a little meatball with a huge heart, ready to give endless love to her forever family.

Let’s come together to support Mochi and show her just how loved she truly is. 💕

🌷 Springtime puppies, ready for forever homes 🐾

Meet Pax, Arley, Maisie, Neo & Bunny — 8 weeks old and full of new beginnings, just like the season they came into 💕

Each of them carries a little piece of what spring is all about:
☮️ Pax – peace, comfort, and gentle love 🌱 Arley – fresh starts and new chapters
🌼 Maisie – warmth, joy, and sunshine
🌞 Neo – a new beginning and a bright future
🐰 Bunny – playfulness and growth

These chihuahua/terrier mix puppies are as sweet as they come—playful, snuggly, and full of life. They’re great with dogs, cats, and kids, and will stay under 20 lbs full grown.

They came from a situation where dogs weren’t being spayed or neutered, leading to litter after litter. We’ve stepped in to not only save them, but to make sure the parents are now fixed so this cycle stops here. This is what real change looks like 💛

Now all they need are families to grow up with.

New season, new beginnings… maybe your new best friend is right here 🌷

Meet Dublin, Guinness, Finnegan, and Clover 🍀

These four incredible puppies have already beaten the odds. Found in the middle of nowhere near abandoned farms, they were dehydrated, hungry, and simply searching for food and water. Despite everything they endured, their spirits are nothing short of amazing.

At just 3 months old, this trio of boys (Dublin, Guinness, and Finnegan) and their sister Clover are Great Pyrenees / Border Collie / Australian Shepherd mixes—a combination of some of the most intelligent, loyal, and hardworking breeds out there. And it shows. We will do a DNA test to confirm! These pups are incredibly social, affectionate, and eager to connect with people. They greet you with wagging tails, soft eyes, and a resilience that’s hard to put into words.

Because of their breed mix, these puppies will grow into active, intelligent dogs who thrive with purpose and space. They will do best in homes that can offer:
• A secure, spacious yard to run and explore
• Daily physical exercise and mental stimulation
• Consistent training and guidance (they are very smart and eager to learn!)
• Families who understand working breeds and can give them structure and engagement

The Great Pyrenees in them brings a gentle, loyal, and protective nature. The Border Collie and Australian Shepherd side means they are highly intelligent, energetic, and people-focused. These pups will bond deeply with their families and make incredibly devoted companions.

They are wonderful with people, incredibly sweet-natured, and already showing signs of being loving, well-balanced dogs despite their rough start. They just need someone to give them the chance they deserve.

If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, an adventure buddy, and a dog who will truly be part of your family, one of these babies might be the perfect fit.
Adopt Dublin, Guinness, Finnegan, or Clover through The Ruff Project and be part of their story—one that started in hardship but is ready for a beautiful new beginning ❤️

Meet Chili 🌶️
Chili is a 5-month-old little miracle girl with a story as unforgettable as her adorable no-tail wiggle. She’s a tiny pup who looks like a miniature German Shepherd with hints of cattle dog… and maybe even a touch of fox in her expressive face. And those ears — truly the best big ears you’ve ever seen on such a tiny body! At just 12 pounds now, we expect she’ll grow into the perfect sized companion around 20–25 lbs — the ideal little adventure buddy to take everywhere with you.
Chili is the lone survivor of a litter of seven puppies that were dropped off at a fire station, all suffering from parvo. She spent five days hospitalized and fought with everything she had — and she made a full recovery. This little girl is strong, resilient, and absolutely full of life.
And her name fits her perfectly. 🌶️ Chili has that little chili pepper personality — tiny but spicy in the best way. She’s bold, zesty, and packed with flavor. She showers everyone she meets with kisses, wiggles her whole body when she’s happy, and has a goofy, lovable spark that makes her impossible not to smile around. She can be a bit of a silly little spaz (in the cutest way), always ready to play, zoom, or explore whatever’s next.
Chili is on the higher-energy side, so she’ll thrive with an active owner who wants a true adventure partner. She’s wonderful with people, dogs, and kids. She’s confident, social, and brings that perfect mix of sweetness and sass.
Chili is ready for a forever home that will embrace her enthusiasm, her joy, her giant ears, and her incredible survivor spirit.
If you’re looking for a loving, playful, resilient pup with just the right amount of spice — Chili might just be your perfect match.

Meet Blaise 💛
Blaise is a 3-year-old pit mix with the gentlest, softest soul you could ever meet. She is pure sweetness with the biggest heart. The kind of dog who looks at you like you’re her whole world.

Blaise absolutely adores people. She greets everyone with a big smile, a wildly wagging tail, endless kisses, and the cutest little wiggle-butt. One of her favorite ways to show love is what we call corn-cobbing — tiny affectionate nibbles when she’s feeling extra happy and safe. It’s completely gentle and unbelievably adorable.

Her sweetness is even more remarkable knowing where she came from. Blaise was neglected and kept outside with dogs who repeatedly picked on her. Because she is so gentle and non-confrontational, she often took the brunt of it. Her body was covered in scars, it brought us to tears seeing the state she was in. When she tried to escape that life, she was badly injured and needed three surgeries to heal.

And yet… Blaise is still all love. She’s soft, sensitive, and looks to her people for reassurance. She does wonderfully with other dogs, is crate & potty trained, great on leash, and has the perfect balance of adventure buddy and ultimate snuggle dog.

Blaise has been through so much and still chooses love every single day. She deserves a calm, kind home where her gentle heart will finally be protected and cherished 🐾💛
