My story

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

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



Heracles is from Texas.  He is one of 10 puppies that were found with their mother under an abandoned building.  They have  received  all necessary veterinary care while in rescue, and now it's time to find them homes of their very own here in MN.  Heracles is not fully potty  trained , but is working on it so very hard every day with his Texan foster family.  He's still on the puppy schedule of sleep, eat, play & poop.  It is crucial that he is given adequate time outside roughly 30-45 minutes after he eats to continue his potty training journey once he gets to MN.  He is also not crate trained per se, but crate training a puppy can just be easy as pie.  Just make sure that he has a crate open and  available  to him throughout the day.  Set his bed/blankets in there, feed him his meals in his kennel, as well as giving any high value treats there.  Heracles is still in his little  land shark  phase, so giving him an appropriate chewing outlet (benebone/kong/rawbone) in his kennel is an excellent idea.  He loves toys,  the  puppy pool and scratches behind his ears.. he would love an active family that would love to take him on nightly  walks  to explore his surroundings, maybe throw the ball a little and then lets him snuggle up on the couch with them while they watch TV.  He promises to pay you back in full with all the little puppy kisses you could possibly handle and maybe even a few  Frito  feet sniffs if you're into that kind of thing.. lol!  If you think that he sounds like the perfect addition to your loving family, please fill out an adoption application today!  He can't wait to meet  you!

 

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.
