Lilly Ann

Harriett,

One Sunday afternoon in December 2009 I found your website while looking to adopt a new dog. It was this day that I came across a picture of the most adorable thing I have ever seen.

I instantly texted my then girlfriend Candice a picture of 'Lily' and feverishly called her. "I'm in love and we have to adopt her!" I nervously waited until Monday morning and called you inquiring about her.  She wasn't quite old enough to adopt and was getting spayed that week. We discussed the process and I began an anxious week praying she would still be available the following weekend. Luckily for us, she was. 

We arrived at Pet Supermarket to see Lily laying over top of her brother Max.  An adorable and heart-melting sight, it didn't take us long to see that Lily was protecting her brother.  

We moved fast in adopting her and our lives would never be the same.  We've moved a few times, getting (now Lilly Ann) a big yard and plenty of sidewalks to take walks, gotten and changed jobs, and gotten married. Through all this time, the one constant was Lilly's unyielding love and protective nature. There's not a day that goes by that we are not thankful that we found Ruffus Rescue. Thank you so much for all your hard work and love for finding these wonderful animals loving homes!

Lyla

Hi Harriett,

 

Just wanted to donate because my fiance and I adopted a dog from you a little over a year ago. We have named her Lyla, but her name is formerly Priscilla. We love her and it's amazing to see how comfortable she's gotten with us and how much more outgoing she's gotten with people and other dogs! Just wanted to give back since we are so grateful for her and what you are doing with Ruffus Rescue.

Annie

We adopted a border collie from you on May 28,2009. She is a female border collie and you named her Ginny.  We changed that name to Little Orphan Annie - Annie for short.  She has developed into a most beautiful lady -- obedient lady, greatly attached at the hip with us.  It took over 1-1/2 years to have her trust us completely.  She is the love of our life.  

She always wants to play - day or night.  Walks beside me on her leash, so lady-like.  She is the love of our neighbors. She loves people, which is amazing after all she has been through. We are very beholden to you for adopting her to us. She is now 8 years old and we would love for you to meet again so she can  see once again the wonderful woman who let us have her.  

Hope you are in  good health.

Harry

Harry has been the most wonderful precious addition to our family! We could not imagine a day without him.  Harriett at Rufus Rescue knows how to treat these special animals & prepares them for their next home. God Bless her and all those that help her with this process.  He truly is our Prince Harry!

Harley a/k/a Lucas

Absolute love bug.  Wish I could have ten more.  He has brought plenty of joy to the house. He does love to chew things up. New toys last about a day. But he's a really good boy. Many thanks for saving him and letting him into our hearts

Todd

Georgie

Hi Harriett,

We adopted Georgie from you around the end of June.  Below is his current picture.  He is a blessing to us, a wonderful little guy!  I want to thank you so much for the wonderful work you do and for bringing Georgie to us.  Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

Camille

Hi Harriett,

Hope things are going well for you! Camille and I are doing great. I am so happy with her and could not ask for a better dog. I have taught her to sit, lay down, shake (and then shake the other paw), stay and come. We get to the dog park almost everyday, which is her favorite thing to do. She loves other dogs and loves to play. I have included a couple of pictures!

Hope you have a fantastic holiday season.

Best,

Sara Schiavone
