Volunteer Wayne

Diamonds in the Ruff is a canine rescue organization in North Carolina. Our goal is to find healthy, loving, lifelong homes for dogs already born into this world. We rescue puppies and dogs from the shelter that are scheduled to be euthanized and give them a chance to find a loving home. We believe in taking care of the existing dogs and puppies instead of supporting breeding that most often results in suffering and homeless animals.

Description:
Our utmost concern is matching pet to owner ensuring a successful union to last a lifetime. We require one home visit with the dog prior to the adoption and one home visit, at our request, after the adoption.
Once adopted, it is required that each dog is examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible so the dog can be given a thorough physical exam. Diamonds in the Ruff alters dogs at 6 months of age. If an adoption takes place before this time - The adopter contracts that he/she will alter (spay/neuter) the dog at six months of age.

Diamonds in the Ruff charges a small fee to adopt a pet. This fee helps cover the cost of caring for the pets, initial vet visit, medications and preparing them for adoption.

Most of the dogs presented on our pages have been rescued from the Wayne County Animal Adoption & Education center of North Carolina and are now living in temporary foster homes with incredibly caring people.
