Dog Of The Month

My name is Kelsey - I am looking for a loving new home. Click on my Picture for more details about me

We are a small Dog Rescue group, serving the Birmingham / West Midlands, set up by Lisa, she has helped in boarding kennels for around 10yrs years & has been involved in Obedience, Flyball, Agility and Working Trials for the past 16yrs & has instructed at training classes for the past 10yrs.   During this time I have been asked to help home many dogs that have either been in kennels or from owners that have decided the dogs are too much for them. I have also helped in various rescues for a number of years. I decided to try & do more to help by setting up a small rescue group helping dogs in need. We are based in Birmingham & have dedicated helpers in the form of a private boarding kennel, fosterers & volunteers, all of which are willing to board, help home, transport, & raise funds where necessary, we are always needing transporters & fosterers, they are vital to what we do.

We adopt a non destruct policy where possible, but in some exceptional circumstances where the Vet deems that the animal is suffering and there are no other options available, the animal would be humanely euthanised.
At present we do not have the resources or space to take in lots of dogs at once, but we will endeavor to help wherever we can. If we are unable to help we will provide advice on alternative options.
 
Ruff Luck Rescue take dogs from council pounds where they have served their 7 days, once this period is over they need to find a rescue space or they will be PTS. This is where we step in, many of the pounds are quite a distance away and we would be very grateful if anyone could spare a few hours a week/fortnight/month to meet at a designated spot (usually around an hour and 15mins from kennels) and collect the dogs coming from the pounds. All we ask is that you have somewhere secure for the dog/s whilst travelling, we also take dogs from Homes and from Social Services.
 
We are always looking for volunteers to help fundraise, foster, transport or walking our rescue dogs in kennels, any fundraising ideas are more than welcome.
 
We currently take little or no expenses as we wish all the monies raised to go directly to helping our dogs, so after a lot of thought we have now decided that as it is so expensive to return phonecalls at the rate messages are being left and. as 99% of the numbers left are mobile numbers, we are now asking that the first point of contact is made by e-mail or if it is necessary you can text us, e-mails will be answered within 48hrs (normally within 24hrs). If you phone please leave a brief message or your enquiry with your name and number, we will get back to you as soon as we can, please would you call the RuffLuck number first as Lisa is unable to take calls between 8am -6pm Mon - Fri.
 
Thank you
