Part III, Organization'S primary exempt purpose

The Ruff Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue dedicated to saving, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs in need. We rescue neglected, abandoned, injured, sick, young, and senior animals, providing them with veterinary care, compassion, and a chance at a permanent loving home. With the help of our volunteer team, we have saved over 1,000 cats and 600 dogs to date and continue working to reduce animal suffering and overpopulation through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption.

Part III, Line 28 Program service

During the year, our organization rescued 85 dogs from neglectful or unsafe situations and placed them into safe, permanent homes. Each dog received necessary veterinary care, including vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, and rehabilitation as needed. With the help of over 30 dedicated volunteers, we were able to provide quality care and support for every animal. Through these efforts, we not only gave these dogs a second chance at life but also helped reduce animal overpopulation in our community.
