Our Featured Pet
Jenna
Silky soft fur and a sweet temperament to go with it. That's Jenna, a beautiful 40-pound hound-beagle mix who is about a year to 18 months old. She's very energetic and gets along well with other dogs, which isn't surprising since she came from a full house in Lexington. The sad story of how Jenna came to Ruff Love began on Father's Day 2008. The father in Jenna's family drowned, leaving his wife with four children and 17 dogs. Now she needs a new home with a fenced yard. She is spayed, has all her shots, is micro-chipped and is taking medication to prevent heartworms. Just stroke the fur of this approachable sweetheart once,and you'll be in love. Jenna's adoption fee is $150 and a fenced in yard is required to adopt Jenna.

Who is behind Ruff Love?
Sue Rogers and Rick Jennings!!
All my life I have loved animals. Dogs just became my niche. Born and raised in Southern California, there was not much opportunity for me to help with rescue in the way I had anticipated. In 1993 I moved to North Carolina to get away from the hectic California lifestyle. With two dogs of my own (both rescue dogs) in tow, I started a new life.
Shortly after arriving in North Carolina, I met the main man of my world, Rick Jennings. Together we purchased a six acre lot, and then it began. I quickly met other people involved in rescue and started fostering for different rescue groups. I soon discovered that many rescue people burn out fairly quickly. Animal rescue is a very demanding and emotionally draining passion, and you can easily get overwhelmed.
In 1999, I had approximately 20 dogs. I decided to apply for my own Non Profit, 501(c)(3), status and start my own rescue. The primary focus of my rescue became the homeless and/or abandoned dogs who in many peoples' eyes would not make good adoption prospects. Using an acre of our land, we were fortunate enough to be able build a kennel that could hold the 20 dogs comfortably. This construction included a 6’ privacy fence to surround the kennel. At present, however, we have 50 plus dogs. Obviously, we have had to create some make shift kennels to accommodate. Our focus has turned to adoption because we are unable to take in any more dogs. With limited donations, Rick and I fund a good bit of the necessities, food, medical, etc., using our own money. Throughout the process we have worked primarily with large dogs from 35 to 100lbs. Most of our dogs are older. We are a No Kill rescue; therefore, if the dogs are not adoptable, they stay with us for the rest of their lives.
I thank God every day for my good health and ability to be able to care for these animals. It is a 365 day, 7 day a week, 24 hour a day labor of love. The rewards far out weigh the disappointments. I have a deep passion and commitment to continue this mission. If you have any idea of the love and joy that dogs can bring, you can understand what keeps me going. I certainly have those days of doubt, but I just reach out and hug a dog. I remember their story and know it is all worth it.

We are always looking for volunteers and foster homes for our dogs. A fenced yard is required to be a foster home. We require that foster dogs live inside your house. You would be responsible for feeding them, keeping them safe,clean and helping them learn to be good pets. We may ask you to take them to the vet for care, but we pay vet expenses for our dogs. We attend adoption fairs a couple of times a month. It would be great if you could bring your foster dog(s) to these events, but it's not required. Please contact us using the email address or the phone number below if you are interested in becoming a foster parent.
If you would like to help, but feel that fostering isn't the right position for you, we can use other types of help as well. Please contact us using the contact information below, and we can tell you about other volunteer opportunities. Thanks in advance!!
