Life’s Ruff – A Play About Dogs


Author: Kristin Skelton

Helping Create Awareness For “Life’s Ruff” and The Dog Saving Network

When our staff trainer, Michele Hatley, showed us information about the “Life’s Ruff” Stage Show, we thought, regular people, their dogs, and positive reinforcement training? This would be right up our client’s alley!

The “Life’s Ruff” Stage Show is a live performance showing the benefits of positive reinforcement training which is organized by The Dog Saving Network. The Dog Saving Network is a non-profit rescue and awareness organization that uses fun, creative mediums to promote the benefits of positive reinforcement training, and encourage spaying/neutering and shelter adoptions. They save lives by raising awareness about the national homeless dog problem and advocate the use of positive reinforcement training in shelters and at home… just like what Michele does for our clients.

“Life’s Ruff” will feature trained dogs and their owners performing and participating in a fun and educational show, which Michele and Buffy performed in last year. Floofins & Co. will be making a donation in hopes that The Dog Saving Network will get their second annual show off the ground.

Donations as small as $1 are welcome and loved. You can make your pledge of $1 or more or read more about The Dog Saving Network through the following links:
