about us
The Ruffugees Foundation is a volunteer-run, federally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit that began in 2017 in the State of Virginia.
Our work funds municipal and county animal shelters in the United States, with the goal of reducing and preventing the euthanasia of shelter pets.
The euthanasia of shelter pets in the United States alone tops 1.5 million animals a year. This means there is a lot of work to do. As an organization, we love animals, and we do not miss an opportunity to help out where we can. Our goal is to end the euthanasia of shelter animals based on space and medical needs.
We further this goal by funding shelters in need so they can intake, care for, and ultimately transport or adopt out the animals at their facilities. You can help us do our work by donating to The Ruffugees Foundation today!
Please know we are a volunteer-run organization; therefore, your donations go directly to support our mission.
