My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.



I'm Ace Odin, the self-proclaimed good boy extraordinaire! I'm all about the good vibes—gentle treat-taking, lap snuggles (don't tell me I'm too big to fit on your lap, because I'll prove you wrong), family car rides, and yard shenanigans are totally my jam. Whether I'm free-roaming at home or chilling in my open-kennel palace, I've got the relaxation game on point. And, let's not forget the bedtime adventures—snoozing in bed with my favorite humans is a must!

Now, let's talk about my inner adventurer.  Walks? Count me in! Playing with toys and chewing on bones? Oh, you bet! I might not be into the whole "bring the ball back" thing, but throw it, and I'll give you a hilarious chase.

When it comes to new folks, I will bark, especially if they show up on my turf. Just keep those introductions slow and supervised, and we'll be best buds in a flash. I do much better meeting new people on neutral territory.

I can be more cautious around men, and if there's any arguing or kids wrestling, I'll play referee and check if anyone needs help. A home with older, dog-savvy kiddos (maybe above 10) is where I'll shine brightest.

I'm not the biggest fan of cats, so a cat-free zone is ideal.  I can get startled by outside noises and will get vocal at times, so a home without shared walls will be best. 

I have lived with dogs in the past and have done well. 

Do you think I could be the pup for you? Let the adventures begin!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based rescue, meaning no animals are available at the Princeton, MN office for public viewing or adoption. All animals in our care reside in foster homes with few special exceptions for our adoption center animals, who are housed at our partnering facilities temporarily before adoption. To meet a Ruff Starter you may be interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application on our website.

More about this rescue

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit companion animal rescue that primarily serves communities throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as states in the south with severe pet overpopulation. We rescue stray, neglected, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats as well as ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other critters. Most of our work is accomplished by a complex network of volunteers, fosters, and supporters, all of whom come together to save thousands of animals each year.

Since our inception, we’ve firmly believed that a home is usually a far more desirable environment than a shelter or a kennel for most companion animals in need of a forever family. As a result, we rely nearly exclusively on volunteers to provide foster homes for rescued pets until they find their adoptive homes. Please note: this means no animals are available at our facility for public viewing.

Each pet in our care is provided with routine vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, microchipped, given internal and external parasite preventatives, and tested for common bloodborne pathogens such as heartworm and feline leukemia. Advanced veterinary care is provided to any animal that requires such services before adoption.

If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or volunteering, please fill out an applicable application at our website: www.ruffstartrescue.org.
