My story

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

Hi, I'm BettyLou Boots! I'm a sweet, gentle girl who's looking for a patient and loving home to call my own. I might be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'll be your shadow - I love being right next to my person. Meal time is my absolute favorite part of the day! I know breakfast as cereal and dinner as supper, and I never let anyone forget when it's time to eat. My other favorite treat is Greenies - I will do just about anything to get one! I've lived with cats before and did really well with them, so I wouldn't mind sharing my space with a calm feline friend. Because of my size, I'd do best in a home with children over 10.

I'm a gentle soul but might accidently bump into the little ones when I get excited. I'm not the biggest fan of car rides, but I promise I make up for it with my love of snuggles and playtime. Squeaky toys are my jam, and I can often be found proudly carrying around a sock or two (they make the best treasures!).

If you're looking for a loyal companion who will love you endlessly, keep you company through every "cereal" and "supper," and make you smile with my silly sock adventures - I'm your girl. Love, BettyLou Boots Betty does need to be adopted into a home with another dog present.

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.
