This stunning one-of-a-kind, hand-made, 60”x70” vintage cotton quilt, featuring a Scottie among assorted flowers, was raffled off by STROF at the STCA Rotating Specialty show in Ocala, Florida.
The winner of the quilt was Nahla R. of Sarasota, a previous STROF adopter. Congratulations Nahla!
THANK YOU to everyone who purchased tickets for supporting the Scottish Terrier Rescue of Florida!
We can’t do what we do without wonderful people like you!
Scottish Terrier Rescue of Florida (STROF) is a nonprofit dog rescue organization created in 2015 that is registered in the State of Florida as a charitable organization.
We are dedicated to the rescue and placement of homeless and displaced Scottish Terriers in Florida.
STROF policies and practices align with the Scottish Terrier Club of America Rescue Code of Conduct. In order to accomplish this mission, the team at STROF
focuses on the following activities:
1. Rescue- rescue all Scotties that have been lost,
abandoned, or voluntarily surrendered by its owner.
2. Intake- take full legal possession of the Scottie by
obtaining a signed release for owner surrender or
through placement partnerships of various shelters.
The Scottie is then transferred to one of our
approved foster homes.
3. Care- it is the intention of the rescue to obtain care
for any rescue Scottie prior to placement
in an adoptive home.
4. Placement- placement is at the discretion of STROF
and will be based upon the best match for the Scottie.
Scottish Terrier Rescue of Florida.
We are dedicated to the rescue and placement of homeless
and displaced Scottish Terriers in Florida. We take them in, love them like our own, and ensure their medical needs are taken care of. We serve as their advocate and their best interest is always primary in everything we do.
Most of the dogs in our program have been relinquished by their owners due to life changes such as death of the owner, illness, a new baby, relocation, divorce or economic hardship. Occasionally a dog may be transferred to us from a regional animal shelter. We rarely see very young dogs in our rescue. The average rescued Scottie is between 6 and 7 years of age. These older dogs make wonderful companions.
These dogs come to us from a variety of sources. Some are abandoned by their owners or are turned in to an animal shelter. Others are picked up as strays and never claimed. Occasionally, owners must give up their dogs because of medical problems, moving into retirement homes, divorce, or a new baby. Some become homeless because they outlive their owners. We take them in, love them like our own, and ensure their medical needs are taken care of.
Scottish Terrier Rescue of Florida (STROF) is an independent nonprofit all-volunteer charitable organization designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (#47-4925001). Scottish Terrier Rescue of Florida is compliant with registration in the State of Florida under the Solicitation of Contributions Act (#CH45495).

All dogs are fostered in volunteers’ homes-we do not have a shelter. Services are provided throughout Florida.
All rescue activities are performed by volunteers.
There are no paid staff.
Our rescue activities would not be possible without the help of our Board, volunteers, supporters, and donors.
Thank you all so much!!!
If you have a Scottie you need to surrender or re-home, or know of a Scottie that needs help, please reach out to us immediately for assistance instead of bringing the dog to a shelter or giving them away to someone who may not have experience with the Scottie temperament. Giving a Scottie up to a local dog shelter or humane society is often not the best choice... dogs relinquished to such organizations may not be brought to our attention, may not promptly received needed veterinary care and, in some cases, will be euthanized.
We hope you will trust us. Our volunteers are quickly available to provide advice and support, and to work with owners to transition their Scotties to a safe situation. Through our many volunteers we provide assistance throughout the state of Florida.
