"I never thought adopting a rescue dog would change the direction of my life!"
the story of ruff life!
Ruff life was born from an experience I had with my 6 month old rescue dog named Jack. You could see something serious going wrong with him and as we found out he needed a triple pelvic osteotomy which basically means a triple hip replacement on both hips. This surgery is very rare with such a young puppy, but without it he would be in too much pain and putting him down would be the only other option. Because I just didn't have $5,500 for this surgery, I didn't have any other option.
Someone I had just met down at the beach, who had a dog, befriended Jack and me a few months earlier, heard my story and told me she would find a way to help Jack and that is EXACTLY what she did.
Because of Beth Castelli (owner of Coligny Hardware), she raised the money needed for Jack to have his surgery and he is happy living his ruff life on Hilton Head Island!
Because of Beth and the incredible generosity of friends and family, it changed the direction of my life.
I have created a line of apparel for dog lovers!
From T-shirts, Sweatshirts, Baseball Hats to Dog Collars and Leashes. All my human apparel is 100% original and of the highest quality I can find. I provide all of my own embroidery on my products which gives me the capability to customize any item for my customers. The profits from each sale will go to Ruff Life Charities, who will help local families with rescue pets during our tough financial times.
We raised over $1900 in 2010 and late 2009! We are on track to double our proceeds for 2011 through donations and sales! There are so many great things to come for 2011 and 2012!
I want to personally thank all the wonderful people that have supported ruff life these past 2 years!
