Devilyn is the most generous, loving soul when it comes to animals. She is not only the Founder/Director of "Rugaz Rescue" Formally "Hernando's APBT Rescue", the Director of Operations for at the SPCA Suncoast and on the Board of Directors for many Non-Profit local organizations. She has dedicated her life to rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing her Bully friends, and educating the public on Pit Bull Awareness. Her utmost concern is for each one of these dogs safety, health and happiness now and for the future preservation of the breed. She simply lives for the faces and smiles she sees on those dogs faces everyday and the smiles on the family's faces when they bring home their new family member. The joy of knowing that, no matter what, at least a few will be saved and make it. She is an asset to those dogs who are so often given up on. They are lucky to cross paths with her, as she never gives up on them.
