My story

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

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



PoshSpice is from Texas.  She was born while in rescue and has received proper medical care and nutrition since birth.  She is absolutely thriving in rescue, and now it's time to find her a home of her very own.  Posh loves everyone!  She absolutely adores kids, and does wonderful with the littles in her home. She is very gentle and learning to be well mannered.  She has been exposed to kitties with no problems, but we still recommend slow intros with residents to ensure a positive outcome.  Posh isn't potty trained just yet, but is working very hard at it.  Making sure that she has adequate outside time, and lots of positive reinforcement will encourage her continued potty training success.  Posh is working on her kennel training and sleeps in a kennel all night with no issues. She does cry when left in the kennel during the day or when you leave but she will settle. She willingly goes into the kennel to sleep with the door open, so she is learning that the kennel is a good space. Posh takes great cues from the dogs around her. Her current foster family has 3 dogs (15lbs – 35lbs) and she is getting along great with all of them. She can be timid when first meeting people but she warms up quickly and then accepts all the pets.  Posh is an easy going, playful pup who is looking for an active family that just wants to make her a part of their life. If you think you fit the bill, please fill out and application today! 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.

*Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*

If you'd like to donate towards this pet's care, you can donate to our Animal Care Fund.   Our Animal Care Fund supports the medical and veterinary needs for all Ruff Start Rescue animals. You'll be able to enter this pet's name on the second page of the donation form.

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.
