My story

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

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



This beautiful girl is Sangria. She came with 12 other Pomimos (American Eskimo/Pomeranian mixes), 2 adults, and 10 puppies. They all took their freedom rides from a local impound and joined Ruff Start Rescue!
 
This mom and the others came from a tough past where breeding spiraled out of control. The puppies had been nursing from two moms, Sangria and Chardonnay, and no one knew exactly who belonged with whom. To keep everyone safe and together, a foster welcomed both mamas and all the pups, so no one was left behind. 
 
Sangria is a high-energy little gal who loves attention and being as close to you as possible. She is currently not a fan of being left a lot and will anxiously chew on items if not provided with chew toys. She is working on her stranger danger but loves to use her voice to let you know she sees you.
 
Sangria does great on her harness and leash. She has some hops and will jump up into my arms when she can. She is a nervous chewer but with a toy, or human she stays busy. Sangria is a very slow eater and would prefer pets over food anyday.
 
Sangria is looking for a home where she can get lots of attention and a family willing to help her find some confidence. 

Sangria is from a local impound. 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.

To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our   How to Adopt page.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can   donate     to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

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.
