Recharging for More Play!

At Ruff House, our furry friends play so much upon arrival in the mornings, that by late afternoon, they generally all zonk out for a quick puppy nap to recharge for more romping and playing with their friends. This is one of our favorite times of the day, because we get to love on all the sleepy doggies, and get super cute pictures to share with everyone!

A very sleepy Jaeger takes a break from playing with his buddies. Sweet 'Lucky Dog' likes to find a comfy spot to lay a few times a day, to rest and observe all the 'youngsters' romping and playing. Such a sweet boy!
Annie LOVES to play with her friends at Ruff House five days a week, but sometimes, she needs to recharge on the comfy couch.

It's so important for puppies to learn how to communicate with other dogs, but these babies need extra rest. Ahhhh this is the life!

Raider's playtime breaks never last long, as he just loves to go, go, go!!

Salem Pet Fair 2010

Of course at Ruff House or favorite thing to do is play with all our cute furball friends, but coming in a close second is being out and about in this community that we love so much. On Saturday, Sep. 25th, we were lucky enough to take part in the Salem Pet Fair.
We met so many cute little doggies, and had so much fun telling people all about Ruff House. We hope to see some of our new friends romping and playing with us soon!!!

Two great dogs seeking forever homes!!

At Ruff House, we are lucky enough to come into contact with wonderful dogs every single day. For the most part, the dogs we see have wonderful, loving, forever homes with families who love and adore them. Every now and then, the dogs we meet aren't quite as lucky. While these dogs have loving foster homes and the excellent care of the Arctic Breed Rescue they are both in search of their forever homes and a family to call their very own. If you are interested in either of these lovely dogs, please, let us know or contact Utah's Arctic Breed Rescue directly.


Meet Kaaos
Kaaos is a 8 month old Siberian Husky. She is very playful, good with other dogs and friendly. Like any Siberian Kaaos will need a well fenced in yard and plenty of exercise. She would love to go hiking and bikejoring with anyone willing to make her part of their family. Kaaos would do best in a home without cats or small children.
Kaaos does excellent with other dogs, and loves to play. She is non aggressive, but very high energy.


Kaaos makes friends with other dogs very quickly. Here she is with one of our frequent daycare guests, Zola.
Kaaos is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL young girl, and will be a wonderful addition to the family lucky enough to have her. We hope to see this sweetheart in a home soon.



Meet Deuce
Deuce is a very friendly, playful 1.5 year old Husky. He is looking for a new home where he can spend a lot of time with his people and maybe have another dog with whom to play. He is great with other dogs. Deuce likes to go on walks and hikes and would be a great companion for anyone looking for a fun, friendly dog. Deuce would do best in a home without cats.


Deuce gets along wonderfully with all of the other dogs in daycare, but really loves people the most when he is here. He is an absolute sweetheart and communicated well with the other dogs.

Deuce is so much more than just a pretty face. He is a fantastic dog and any family would be so lucky to call him their own. He has quickly wiggled into the hearts of all the Ruff House staff, and for good reason.


Please, if you have room in your home and hearts, consider one of these wonderful dogs, or check out the list of adoptable dogs with a local rescue. Arctic Breed Rescue here in Utah has many great dogs just looking for wonderful, FOREVER homes in which to be loved and spoiled. These are just two of the many dogs across the state waiting for their special day to roll around.

THANK YOU to all of the folks volunteering their time to help these dogs in need. It is truly amazing.

We're having a Blast!!

For most, September means it's back to the grind. Time to strap down, get back to school and work, and wait for Summertime to roll around once again...But not for our Furry friends at Ruff House! Fall just means more daycare and playtime for them! We're having an absolute BLAST playing with your furkids while you're working all day, and it is our pleasure to have them!
Daycare is an excellent way to socialize your pooch, keep him from being home alone all day, and get all that energy out. Just take a look at how much fun we have together!Zailey the Great Dane puppy is a new face at Ruff House, and loves to come with her sister Annie to play with all of her new friends, we're excited to watch her grow!
Zoe, another Great Dane, has joined us recently and loves to play with all the other dogs and just loves life! She made friends with Bella, the Golden Retriever right away!


Stella had the best first day of daycare ever, just look at that smile! She was a bit timid at first, but warmed up so quickly and really adores the staff and all her new friends!


Kaaos leads the pack to the outside play yard, where our furry friends love to romp and play in the sunshine! While your pup is playing with us, he or she will always have indoor AND outdoor access, and of course, lots of love, attention, friends, and fresh, cool water!


Raider the Beagle comes to daycare a couple of times a week and has so much fun! Here he is with his buddies, Kaaos and Aspen.


We replenish the water buckets all day long, to make sure all our guests stay hydrated!

We are new friends!!

Hi I'm Bella a shepherd/lab mix. I love to play in the snow, I prefer to pull sleds and run really really fast. I like to bark when my mama is gone so I get to come to Ruff House where I have friends all day long....Yay for a dog's life!

I am Jaeger, a cream puff golden retriever. I am as kind and gentle as a ladybug, although if it came down to it I may try to eat a ladybug. I love love love coming to Ruff House and playing with my friends. I prefer the super hairy ladies but I'll play with just about everyone.

I am Artemis, you can call me 'Ari' I am a native american indian. I was rescued by Heather. My new mama works at Ruff House so I will be there almost daily. I love my new home and my new life, however if you leave the front door open I am more than happy to take off and explore my new surroundings.

My name is Gus, I am a cane corso. I am only 5 months and will get much bigger. I am excited to be the biggest of all the dogs at Ruff House. I really like to give kisses and snuggle up to peoples legs. Everyone tries to kiss my face though and sometimes I don't want to kiss people all the time. Oh well, I guess that is just what happens at this Ruff House place.

My name is Chesney, I am a spotted cocker spaniel. I'm not really a new gal but I am introducing my friend Porcha, she is a Coton and she is small and timid. I am trying to show her how this place works and what fun it is. She is really interested in me and loves to follow me around.

Puppy 4 Adoption!!

Sadie is a St. Bernard/Pyrenees is a gentle giant looking for a new home. She is still waiting to get spayed. I checked her out and her personality is very playfully passive. She is happy and loves human affection...who doesn't?...She is a large breed who doesn't need a lot of excercise. She will be happiest with a family who offers lots of love and attention and mellow walks and playtime at the park.
Please let us know if your interested in this lovely animal.
