Raise the Ruff is a dog shelter and sanctuary located in a large lot in the picturesque village of Henford-on-Bagley. We have a double mission. First and foremost, we want to take in and rehabilitate stray dogs before finding them suitable families. For dogs that can't be adopted, we plan on giving them a permanent and comfortable home where their needs will be met.
Our other mission is to raise awareness about stray animals. We aim to show they can be just as amazing as other pets by training them and entering them in trials, so everyone can see how pawsome they are! We have an ongoing spay/neuter campaign and soon enough, we hope to start providing low-cost veterinary services for anyone in need. Everyone is encouraged to get involved by donating at the collection box in the local pub, sponsoring a pet, or buying one of our t-shirts!
Do you want us to speak to your class, book club, or other? Get in touch today!

Our Facilities
We aim to provide our dogs with comfortable, modern facilities while also focusing on recycled or repurposed materials. Much of our furniture was handmade by local artisans or otherwise donated.
HOME
Our residents can usually be found playing outdoors or visiting the staff at home but they have their own dedicated building. It features spacious rooms that can be individual or shared by close friends. Each room has its own private outdoor area. They are all equipped with comfortable beds, toys, as well as food and water bowls. Other items are added according to the needs of individual dogs, which we always try to accomodate!
The same building also houses a space for bathing and grooming dogs.
THE CLINIC
One of our most important areas is the veterinary clinic. It features state-of-the-art equipment so we can provide both general check-ups as well as specialised care. In addition to treating our dogs, we also offer affordable care to the community on a sliding scale basis, as well as promoting a spay and neuter program.
OBSTACLE COURSE
Training and exercise are important parts of dog care and we don't neglect that! We have our very own agility course where dogs can test their skills and stay fit.
THE POOL
Built especially with dogs in mind, this pool can be used for dock diving training as well as simply cooling off on hot days.
THE GROUNDS
Raise the Ruff Dog Shelter is located on a former farm, with plenty of outdoor spaces where dogs can play, rest, or just explore safely.
