About Us
Ruff Pup is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for pups, handlers, and allies of all backgrounds. We’re here to uplift the community through support, education, events, and full-throttle tail-wagging joy. Whether you’re just discovering your inner pup or you’re a seasoned howler, there’s always room in our pack.
Together, we bark louder, play harder, and care deeper. 💜🐶
OUR PACK, OUR PURPOSE
Uplifting Pups. Unleashing Potential. One Tail Wag at a Time.
Ruff Pup is more than a server—it’s a movement. We’re here to empower pups and handlers by creating safe, inclusive spaces both online and offline. Whether we’re hosting events, offering support, or just sharing silly memes, every moment strengthens our community. From first-time pups to seasoned handlers, everyone deserves a place to bark freely and be heard.
LED BY LOVE, POWERED BY COMMUNITY
What We Do at Ruff Pup
Ruff Pup exists to uplift and support the pup community through action, inclusion, and a whole lot of tail wags. Here’s how we do it, one bark at a time:
01
Host Inclusive Events
From local meetups to online tail-wagging parties, we bring pups and handlers together in safe, welcoming spaces.
02
Support Mental Health
With trained Watchdogs and peer support, we’re here when things get ruff—because mental health matters.
03
Foster Education & Awareness
Workshops, panels, and resource sharing help pups and handlers of all experience levels learn, grow, and play safely.
04
Provide a Safe Space for Expression
No judgment, no shame. Ruff Pup is a place where every identity is celebrated and every bark is heard.
05
Create Gear & Resource Connections
Whether you're looking for your first hood or advice on custom tails, we connect the community with trusted makers and guides.
06
Build a Strong, Waggy Family
It’s not just a server—it’s a pack. Ruff Pup is built on friendship, support, and shared experiences. We lift each other up, always.
MEET THE ELDER PUPS
Guiding the Pack with Heart, Wisdom, and Waggy Tails
Our Elder Pups (aka board members) help lead Ruff Pup with compassion, vision, and a whole lot of community spirit. From organizing events to keeping the den safe, they make sure every pup has a voice and a space to be themselves.
