🐶Once upon a time, Dio lived her life at the end of a chain. But those days are long behind her, and this brave, beautiful girl is busy discovering what it means to be a loved family dog — and honestly, she’s nailing it.
🌟Dio is a medium-energy, walk-loving, people-adoring little lady. If you like strolls around the neighborhood and being greeted with pure joy whenever you meet a friend on the sidewalk, she’s your girl. The only time she pulls on leash is when she spots a 🐇 “fast-moving fluffy thing of mystery” — otherwise, she’s a delight.
💛Inside the home, Dio is learning all the cozy comforts she missed out on. She’s house trained, sleeps soundly through the night (preferably snuggled right next to her human), and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and humans of all sizes. Her foster mom says she’s “so sweet and lovable… she’s perfect.” And honestly? We believe it.
✨Dio does have some puppy-ish habits — she may chew things she shouldn’t (shoes beware!), but with a patient family and some guidance, she’s eager to learn. She isn’t a fan of car rides yet, but she’s getting better every time.
✨Because Dio spent so much of her early life without companionship, she’d thrive in a home with another dog buddy to play with and learn from. She loves walks, toys, playtime, and soaking up affection like a little love sponge.
✨If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal best friend who will adore you endlessly, Dio is ready to start her happily-ever-after. 💛
She’s survived a tough beginning — now she deserves a future full of love, comfort, and adventure.
✨If you would like to chat more with us about Dio and set up a meet and greet, please complete an application on our website and one of our volunteers will be in touch. https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

We do not host adoption events. We do bring some of our dogs to fundraisers to meet potential adopters who then must complete the full adoption process.

More about this rescue
We are a small foster based rescue who focuses on helping areas of overpopulation and dogs in desperate situations. We are run by dedicated volunteers and generally only have a handful of dogs in care at one time so we can focus on exactly what they need to feel better and find a loving home.
