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 Cora, a sweet and sensitive pittie mix with a heart of gold, looking for her forever home! Cora is a true people-lover, absolutely devoted to her humans. Don't let her size fool you – she firmly believes she's a lap dog and will happily cuddle up as close as possible, even sleeping in your bed if allowed!

Cora thrives on companionship and would do best in a home with another dog who is passive and friendly. She loves playing with other pups, but needs canine companions who match her mellow demeanor. While she won't start conflicts, she will defend herself if challenged, so a calm canine friend is a must. Click here to see how well she plays with a good dog friend!  The good news? Cora is a true cat whisperer and currently lives peacefully with a feline friend!

This smart girl knows her basic commands – sit, stay, come, down, and shake – and listens well. She's also a big fan of car rides, walks (though she might tug a bit when something exciting catches her eye), playing fetch with balls, and toys of all kinds. And for treats? Carrots are her absolute favorite!

Cora is a champ in her heavy-duty crate and will even go in on command, which is fantastic for managing her separation anxiety. She's an angel when her people are home, but gets anxious and can be destructive when left alone, especially without another dog companion. Her ideal home would provide her with lots of company, possibly another calm dog, and continued positive reinforcement for her crating.

With her quirky sleeping positions and boundless affection, Cora is ready to be your loyal shadow and best friend. If you can offer Cora a loving home with a gentle canine friend and plenty of human companionship, she will reward you with endless love and devotion!

Cora is from a rescue transfer. 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.

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.
