My story

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

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



Meet Loulou, the adorable sweetheart with a heart full of love to share! Loulou's journey began when she was discovered as a pregnant stray, seeking shelter under an old abandoned porch. Thankfully, she was rescued just in time and brought into our care where she safely delivered her precious puppies.

Loulou is a sweet young girl who adores affectionate pets and cuddles. Her favorite thing in the world is to snuggle up with her humans and soak in all the love they have to offer.

While Loulou can be a bit anxious in new situations, especially around unfamiliar people, noises, and pets, she's been making great strides with slow introductions, time, and patience. Once she warms up to you, she transforms into a warm and loving companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin.

She gets along famously with the resident dog in her foster home, as well as with young children. Loulou has been gradually building her confidence and is working hard to master essential commands like potty training, recall, and sitting on command.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to Loulou and provide her with the understanding, patience, and love she needs to thrive, we'd love to hear from you. Let's give Loulou the happy ending she deserves!

If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

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.
