About Ruffles Rescue
Ruffles Rescue was founded in August 2011, by Christina Chandler, who is dedicating her life to the dogs. Ruffles does not have a ‘shelter’, so we open our homes and hearts to the dogs who have been forgotten, neglected or abandoned by society. We take pride in helping all breeds and not discriminating based on background, breed, medical condition, or adaptability level. We don’t see breed, color, size – we see a dog in need.
Every dog that enters Ruffles Rescue’s care will receive a veterinary exam, routine vaccines, a spay or neuter surgery, microchip, dewormer, flea and tick prevention, and any other medical treatments or grooming that might be required. They will not only receive medical care, they will receive the love, attention and training that they deserve. They will know the true meaning of being loved.


Vice President A lifelong resident of the Monterey Bay, Lynnette enjoys being with her family and friends. She is the mother of two grown sons, has two beautiful granddaughters that have her wrapped around their little fingers, and has three dogs of her own. She loves to cook, read, and enjoys hiking with her girlfriends (and the dogs!) whenever she can. Lynnette has always been an advocate to those with no voice. Her first rescue was when she was 9-years old: a 3-week old goat she named Buster. She bottle-fed him, let him sleep in her bed, and every day when she got off the school bus, he was waiting for her so they could watch Hogan’s Heroes together. Lynnette’s passion for animals continues and she is dedicated to helping animals in any way she can. It was their shared love for animals that brought Lynnette and Christina together. A strong supporter of Ruffles Rescue, Lynnette has opened her heart and her home to several foster dogs while searching for their forever home. Any animal that is brought into her home is treated as any other family member or friend: with love, compassion, and nurturing; something most of them would likely never experience otherwise. She is dedicated in helping Christina in her crusade to “better the world, one dog at a time!”
