About Us
At Ruff Pup, we’re more than just a nonprofit—we’re a pack.
We create inclusive spaces where pups and handlers of all identities can connect, learn, and thrive together. From local events to online resources, everything we do is powered by passion, volunteer spirit, and a whole lotta tail wags.
Whether you’re newly collared or a seasoned alpha, there’s always room in the den.
