Our story

A family who travel, run by people who rescue

rufly started around our own kitchen table. A father and son who love two things in equal measure: seeing the world, and the dogs we meet along the way. This is our way of tying both together.

Why we built rufly

We're a family who run businesses in the travel space, and over the years we've found ourselves travelling more and more together. The further we went, the more we kept meeting the same companions on every street corner, the dogs.

Our love of animals runs deep. We've taken in our own rescues, and Dad can't walk past a stray without stopping. So when we started a travel product, giving back to dogs wasn't an afterthought. It was the whole point.

rufly is unlimited travel data that helps you land connected, with 10% of every order going straight to rescue dog shelters. Every transfer is published, so you can see exactly where your trip's impact lands.

Our own rescues

Meet Bruno and Candy

The two rescues who started it all, and the reason every trip with rufly gives back.

Bruno

Our resident couch supervisor. Bruno loves nothing more than a warm lap and a long afternoon nap.

Candy, our rescue dog, walking outdoors with a happy grin

Candy

All smiles and sunshine. Candy came to us off the street and never stops wagging her tail.

The two of us

One builds it, one leads with heart

Between us we've got the travel and the technology covered, and a shared soft spot for anything with four legs.

The tech guy

The son

The traveller of the family. I run the technology side and make sure staying connected abroad feels effortless, so giving back is built into something people already love using.

The animal guy

The dad

The heart of it. Dad is the one who stops on the street for a stray, knows every shelter worth supporting, and makes sure the dogs are always at the centre of what we do.

Travel that means more

We're on the road more than ever as a family, and we wanted our trips to leave something good behind.

Dogs first, always

10% of every order goes to trusted rescue dog shelters, published, transparent, no fine print.

Built by travellers

We run businesses in the travel space, so we sweated the details of staying connected abroad.
