My story

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

Chevy is a loyal and loving companion. He loves to trail his people from room to room, looking for some pets or a comfortable spot to lay beside you or at your feet as you go about your day. Chevy is an easy going, middle aged guy. But don't let his age and outward disposition fool you. This guy loves to fetch toys and going for long walks. He loves the squeaky stuffies and will drop them in your lap while awaiting the next toss. The physical activities, aside from being his most favored of the day, will help him lose a bit of excess weight.

Chevy would be a good candidate for more advanced training, as he aims to please and is attentive to slight corrections and commands. Especially if there is a tasty treat forthcoming. He also loves to go for car rides and charm everyone he meets by leaning in and letting them pet his lovely, silky fur. Chevy is very easy going with other dogs. He is more of a co-exister at home and is calm but friendly with all the the other dogs be has met.

Because Chevy barks when he hears noises outside he home, he is not well suited for apartment life or shared walls. This big fella has a big bark. Chevy has also displayed stranger danger towards men when on walks and will need a patient adopter who can help him work through his reactions in those situations.

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.
