Saving Grace.

Grace walked into the shelter as a "stray." Everything about her body tells us she was never just a lost dog.

When Grace walks, she hunches over, and you can see how curved her spine and hips are. That kind of curve doesn't come from one bad week. It develops when a dog is confined for very long stretches of time, or grows up that way. We believe Grace spent most of her life locked in a crate, and that she would have died in there if she hadn't gotten out. This wasn't bad luck. Someone did this to her and now she's suffering the life-long consequences.

Grace is shockingly an adult bully breed dog who weighs only 14.5 pounds. Her Body Condition Score is 1 out of 9, the lowest score there is. It means her body has almost nothing left. The rest of her tells the same story. Her nails are so overgrown that they've changed the way she stands. Her coat is stained with urine from living in her own waste. Her paws have dropped from prolonged malnourishment and confinement. She has an open pressure wound on her hip, the kind that forms when a body is too thin to cushion itself against a hard floor. Even her teeth are discolored from malnutrition.

A dog this starved can't just be handed a full bowl of food. She needs a carefully monitored refeeding plan so her body can safely handle nutrition again and monitored closely for refeeding syndrome which could be deadly.

She'll also need x-rays and an orthopedic assessment of her spine, hips and paws to understand what years in a crate have done to her body and what rehab she needs to walk comfortably once her organs are past the shock period.

Please help be apart of her saving Grace.
No living being should under go the horrors Grace has seen in her short life, it is our mission to make sure the rest of her life is shown that the humans she knew were not what our species are all like. She deserves this at the very least.

It develops when a dog is confined for very long stretches of time, or grows up confined. We believe Grace spent most of her life locked in a small crate, and that she would have died in there if she hadn't gotten out. This wasn't bad luck.

Someone did this to her and now she's suffering the life-long consequences.

Grace is shockingly an adult bully breed dog who weighs only 14.5 pounds when she should be around 40lbs had her body not suffered the tortures it has. Her Body Condition Score is 1 out of 9, the lowest score there is. It means her body has nothing left to give.

The rest of her tells the same story. Her nails are so overgrown that they've changed the way she stands. Her coat is stained with urine from living in her own waste.

Rugaz Rescue Inc. "Credence" - Adopted! 2026

💗 NINA 💗

The little lady with a BIG personality.

Nina may be missing her eyes, but somebody forgot to tell her she was supposed to let that slow her down. Because this amazing little Chihuahua has more heart, personality, and sass than dogs twice her size!

Her nose and heart work overtime when she’s playing a little game of hide-and-seek, but once Nina finds you? Prepare yourself. Because this girl breaks out the dance moves that would give Travolta a run for his money. 💃🏼

Nina is the ultimate pillow princess when it’s time to relax — perfectly content to curl up beside you, listen to the TV while you work, and enjoy the good life. But just when you think she’s settled in for a quiet evening, she’ll hit you with some ridiculous little Nina moment that has you laughing your ass off.

She’s sweet. She’s playful. She’s affectionate. She’s ridiculously lovable. And she has absolutely zero interest in letting what she’s lost define what she has left to give.

If you’re looking for a tiny companion who can be your cozy couch buddy, your personal comedian, and the daily dose of dopamine you didn’t know you needed…

Look no further. Nina has been waiting for you. 💗

🦸‍♂️ ZORRO 🦸‍♂️

Professional Snuggler. Part-Time Superhero. Full-Time Good Boy.

Zorro is a youngster bully whose snuggle game is every bit as big as his smile. What he may lack in legs, he more than makes up for in heart — and apparently, absolutely no understanding of the concept of personal space.

Because according to Zorro, personal space actually translates to “snuggle space.” 😂

This boy has perfected the highly advanced commando crawl → dramatic flip → BELLY RUB DEPLOYMENT maneuver, and honestly, it's one of his greatest accomplishments. Why walk normally when you can crawl directly into someone's lap and roll over for maximum belly coverage?

Zorro may not exactly be the sharpest tool in the shed, but that's okay. The second you need him, he throws on his imaginary cape and comes flying to your side faster than you can blink.

He's loyal. He's loving. He's ridiculous. He's ridiculously loving.

Zorro is the kind of dog who wants to be your shadow, your couch potato, your adventure buddy, and your ride-or-die all rolled into one very snuggly bully package.

Now he's just waiting for his person to come along and give him the one thing he's been looking for:

A human to crawl into their lap and never leave. ❤️

👑 BLONDIE — PROFESSIONAL PRINCESS. PART-TIME TOMBOY. FULL-TIME BEST FRIEND. 👑

Some dogs need a wind machine to achieve that gorgeous, wind-blown supermodel look.

Blondie?

She IS the wind machine. 😂

This absolutely stunning French Bulldog naturally walks around looking like she just stepped out of a high-fashion photoshoot — perfectly tousled, effortlessly fabulous, and completely convinced the world is her runway. And honestly? She’s not wrong.

Blondie has a stellar princess personality to match the look. She enjoys her pillow-throne, catching up on prime time television, and generally living like the distinguished little lady she believes herself to be.

BUT… don’t let the royal wardrobe fool you.

Give her something to do and Blondie will pull on her tomboy pants in approximately 3.7 seconds and come marching right into the dirt to help you with whatever the hell you're doing. Gardening? She’s your girl. Yard work? She’s supervising. Working on a project? She’s your #2.

Because Blondie doesn't really care what you're doing.

She just wants to do it WITH YOU. ❤️

And when the workday is over? She's equally happy to crawl back onto her pillow-throne, put her princess pants back on, and spend the evening doing absolutely nothing with you.

Basically, Blondie has an outfit for every occasion.

👑 Princess pants? Check.👖 Tomboy pants? Check.🌱 Gardening uniform? Obviously.📺 Pajamas for Prime Time? She has several.

If you're looking for a dog who can work as hard as you do, play as hard as you do, and chill as hard as you do on your days off, Blondie may just be the girl you've been dreaming about.

So why keep dreaming?

Make that dream a reality. ❤️

Blondie is ready to be your girl, your shadow, your coworker, your couch potato, and your #1 fan — preferably all in the same day.
