RUFF’S SEASON OF GIVING

We are fortunate to have a strong community that loves to spoil our pups, and this November, we want to take the opportunity to donate to other dogs in need. RUFF and Polka Dog North End are teaming up this Season of Giving to collect donations for MSPCA-Angell.

As a trusted voice for animals across Massachusetts, MSPCA-Angell works tirelessly to protect animals, provide critical care, and support pet owners in need throughout the community. MSPCA-Angell cares for thousands of animals yearly at their Boston, Cape Cod, Nevins Farm, and Northeast Animal Shelter care and adoption centers. They also run a Community Outreach program that works to keep families and pets together by offering affordable and accessible animal care resources to families in underserved communities.

MSPCA-Angell is a private, nonprofit organization. They do not receive government funding and are not affiliated with any national humane organization. They rely entirely on the support and contributions of individuals who care about animals to sustain these programs.

Pet food is currently MSPCA-Angell's biggest need as they experience unprecedented demand in their Community Outreach programs. Your donations help ensure that loving pet owners facing financial challenges can keep their beloved companions fed, healthy, and at home where they belong.
