My Nonprofit Reviews

My neighbor Jodi and my dog George passed away during the same summer. I learned about Ruff House because my neighbor used to share their fb posts. I wanted to donate money in their honor, so I tracked RH down at an adoption event at Bethpage's Old Village Restoration. I was impressed with how passionate the volunteers were. Of course I was familiar with the big rescues, but something about this group, particularly the Director, impressed me and I wanted to be part of this rescue. In fact, even though I live 15 minutes from North Shore Animal league and Little Shelter, I was driving 35 minutes one to four times a week to be part of this dedicated rescue. For a rescue of its' size RH really makes a difference by saving animals that were going to die in the shelter system. Over the 2 years I have volunteered there, I have seen hundreds of animals get adopted and while they wait, they are cared for by this group. No animal leaves without ID tags and a microchip. RH's spay and neuter initiative is run week after week by the Director herself, and she was even cited by the ASPCA for the rescue's successful efforts. This is a rescue that is not fancy, but it gets the job done, day after day, week after week. My 2nd dog was adopted from there after a few months of me volunteering there, so I am also a client. Ruff House is a great rescue and should be commended for all its efforts and success in the rescue world.
