Story
Percy is starting over. In a matter of minutes, Percy’s entire life was turned upside down. A kind-hearted human became concerned about Percy and his 2-year-old human brother and called for a wellness check. What authorities discovered was far worse than anyone imagined. The parents who were supposed to be caring for them had been neglecting, assaulting, and abusing them. At first, they tried to deny what was happening, but text messages and videos told the truth. Percy has a long road ahead, but thankfully, his story is taking a much happier turn. He is safe, loved, happy, and thriving in his foster home. Now he just needs the right family to help him continue healing and show him what a safe, loving life is supposed to look like. Percy would do best as the only dog in his home , but he absolutely enjoys his feline friends. He can still have nervous accidents in the house, but he's improving as he learns that his people are there to protect him and that he's finally safe. And this boy has so much joy to give! He LOVES squeaky tennis balls. He loves going for walks. Fetch is one of his favorite games. A fenced-in yard would probably be his ultimate dream. He does wonderfully on walks and even does great on a tie-out. He's been trained and listens better than many of our resident dogs! Percy doesn't need perfection. He needs patience, consistency, love, and a family willing to let him heal at his own pace. After everything he's been through, Percy deserves a chance to finally know what it feels like to be safe, cherished, and home. Could you be the missing puzzle piece in Percy's new beginning? Please share Percy so we can help his forever family find him!               Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, rabies vaccination if age appropriate, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Distemper combo vaccines appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm and flea/tick preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $375.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 30, 2026, 8:05 pm

Story
Viktor's journey hasn't been an easy one. He was part of a group of approximately 40 dogs who were dumped and taken to a Texas shelter before making his way into foster care. While we don't know much about his life before rescue, it's becoming clear that many of the everyday experiences we take for granted are very new to him. Viktor is a quiet, sensitive boy who is still learning what it means to feel safe. He's comfortable being near people and listening to their voices, but physical affection is something he's still figuring out. Being touched can make him nervous, so he's looking for someone who understands that building trust takes time and that sometimes the best way to show love is simply to give him space. There have already been some sweet little victories! Viktor has discovered the joy of having his very own cozy dog bed, has started enjoying chew treats, and is slowly becoming more curious about his surroundings. He even gave his foster his first little tail wag! These might seem like small things, but for a dog like Viktor, they're pretty big milestones. The outside world is especially intimidating for Viktor right now. His foster suspects he may have had very little experience outdoors, and things like walking on a leash, wearing a collar, and potty training are all going to take patience and practice. He's also discovered that his crate can be a safe place to retreat when he needs a break, which is encouraging! Viktor has been sharing his foster home with cats and has done well so far. He's shown some curiosity toward them but has mostly been indifferent to their presence. Viktor isn't going to be the dog who runs into your arms on day one, and that's okay. He needs a patient, understanding family who will let him move at his own pace, help him build confidence, and celebrate the little victories along the way. A quieter, predictable home where he can feel safe and learn about the world without pressure would be ideal. After such an uncertain start, Viktor deserves a chance to discover all the wonderful things life has to offer. And there's something pretty special about being the person who gets to show him. Viktor is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 11/6/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and 11:00am. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.

Story
Watch out, here comes a tail! 🐾 Barney Boo Boo is a big, goofy pup with a zest for life and a whole lot of love to share. His favorite things are people, being outside, and playing chase with his canine friends—and he approaches all three with plenty of enthusiasm! Barney has been working hard on his basic manners, housetraining, and leash skills, and he is making great progress. He is eager to please and loves figuring out what his people want from him. Born outside and having a less-than-ideal start to life, Barney has had plenty of new things to learn, and he has adapted amazingly well. He is also learning that his crate is a safe, comfortable place. He’s still working on the whole “being separated from the fun” concept, though, and isn't shy about sharing his feelings when he'd rather be wherever the action is! His foster family is helping him understand that crate time is just part of the routine, not a punishment. Barney is playful and excited when meeting other dogs and would likely benefit from having a confident canine companion to show him the ropes and help him continue building his confidence. He met a cat in his adopters' neighborhood and did well. Because this big guy can get pretty enthusiastic, older children may be a better fit so he doesn't accidentally knock anyone over in his excitement. Barney has come a long way, and he's just getting started. He’s goofy, affectionate, eager to learn, and ready for a family who will give him the guidance and encouragement he needs to grow into his very best self. If you’re looking for a fun-loving pup with a giant personality—and an even bigger tail—Barney Boo Boo is ready to bring the fun! 💕 ---- *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue.

Story
I need a temp foster November 4-9. I am lookin for a foster or my forever family! If you can foster me, please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org Hi, my name is Fiesta Hansen and I am from Arkansas! Hi, I’m Fiesta—but my foster family calls me Fi-Fi! I’m a sweet puppy who is happiest when I’m right by your side. Whether we’re heading outside for an adventure, playing around the house, or settling in for a cozy evening, I just want to be wherever my people are. I absolutely love exploring outside and I’m already doing a great job on a leash. There are so many exciting smells, sights, and sounds to investigate, and I’m always ready to see what’s around the next corner! I’ve got plenty of puppy energy and can happily play for hours. But I also know how to be a good roommate. I live with an older canine brother, and when he decides it’s time to relax, I’m respectful of his space and can settle down too. I love having a canine friend to play with, but I’m also perfectly happy hanging out with my humans. And when the day’s adventures are over? That’s when my favorite activity begins: cuddling. I am unbelievably soft and love curling up next to my people. My foster family says I make the perfect personal warmer—and honestly, I think they’re right. Even better, I’ve already checked two big puppy boxes: I’m fully potty trained and crate trained! I’m ready to bring my playful personality, sweet heart, and ridiculously soft cuddles to my forever family. If you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy who can also turn into the world’s coziest cuddle bug at the end of the day, I might just be your girl. I can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Hi, my name is Bennie and I am from Arkansas! Bennie, who we have been affectionately calling Mac or Big Mac, is a sweet boy who thoroughly loves his walks and does great on a leash. He is very smart and has already learned commands like "sit" and "kennel." He is a high-energy pup who is always on the move and ready to play! As a Collie mix, he displays natural herding tendencies and likes to herd me around, so a home without small children would likely be the best fit for him. While I have cats in the house, Bennie's energetic personality means they tend to keep their distance for now.

These pups are in Dayton, Minnesota too!

Story
Meet Fawn! Fawn is a sweet Australian Shepherd mix looking for her forever home! She can be a little shy when meeting new people, so she may need some time to warm up and feel comfortable. Once she bonds with her person, though, Fawn absolutely loves her handler and shows just how sweet and loyal she can be. Fawn does well around other dogs. We’re still unsure how she feels about cats, so a slow and careful introduction would be needed. Fawn is looking for a patient and loving family who will give her the time she needs to build trust and confidence. Once she knows you’re her person, you’ll have a devoted companion by your side. Fawn is ready for the forever home she deserves! ##2745632##

Meet Otter! This handsome blue heeler is proof that you can be both adventurous and an absolute cuddle bug! Otter is a friendly guy who does well with other dogs and loves being around his people. When he’s not busy doing his blue heeler thing, Otter is more than happy to curl up next to you and soak up some love. He’s the kind of dog who can keep up with an active family but is equally happy to wind down with a good cuddle session. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a fun personality, a love for dogs, and a serious talent for cuddling, Otter might be your perfect match! ##2745630##
