Story
Est. Date of Birth: 04/11//2023 Weight 24 lbs. Potty Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Does not need! Dog friendly: Yes- Prefers male dogs Cat Friendly: Yes Kid Friendly: Yes, Older/Considerate kids would be best Adoption Fee: $495.00 REQUIRED: Companion dog & physical fenced yard Meet Missy! 🐾 Missy is a terrier through and through—smart, spunky, playful, and absolutely convinced she has a few very important jobs to do. Her favorite things include going for walks, exploring new places, sniffing absolutely everything, and investigating the world one smell at a time. If you’re an active family looking for an adventure buddy, Missy is already packing her bags. When she’s not out exploring, Missy loves playing with toys, snuggling with her people, and keeping a close eye on neighborhood activity from the nearest window. She’s basically a tiny neighborhood watch captain. And if squirrels dare enter her jurisdiction? Don’t worry—Missy will personally inform them who is in charge. Speaking of being in charge… Missy occasionally believes she may have been elected Mayor of the Household. She does best with people who can kindly remind her that while her opinions are appreciated, she is not actually responsible for running the family. Although a home with older/considerate kids will be best for Missy, she is wonderful with children and has done amazing with kids of all ages. She’s also great with cats and is dog-savvy enough to live happily with dogs of any size—or be your one-and-only pup. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and does well in homes with shared walls. If you’re looking for a dog who can keep up on adventures, make you laugh every day, snuggle up at night, and provide complimentary squirrel security services, Missy might just be your perfect match. Benefits of adopting Missy may include: daily laughs, unlimited snuggles, increased neighborhood awareness, and a dramatic reduction in squirrel confidence.

Story
Carrie showed up looking for help with her litter of pups. After a winding road, including having another litter, she found herself rescued into a foster home. Now she is heading North to Minnesota for a new start! Carrie is very trusting and loving, despite everything she's been through. She seems just glad to be safe, comfortable and loved! She wants ALL the snuggles, but her favorite part of the day is going outside (with her people in tow, of course, she is very much a lap pet/shadow dog). Carrie is a star with potty training and walking on the leash, but hasn't had much in the way of training (sit, come, stay etc). She's a goofy, playful gal and loves tug of war. Carrie is ready to plop herself into your lap and make herself right at home! Carrie is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 7/25/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am and noon. 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. ---- This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian.

Story
Hi, I'm Moseby! If you're looking for a puppy with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and plenty of love to give, I might just be your perfect match! I'm a super friendly, confident little guy who loves everyone I meet. I love people of all ages, especially kids, and one of my favorite things is being picked up and held after a fun play session. Whether we're playing in the yard or relaxing on the couch, I'm happiest when I'm with my family. I'm always ready for some fun! Tug-of-war is one of my favorite games, and I love chasing and wrestling with my dog friends. I can get pretty goofy during playtime, but once I've gotten my zoomies out, I'm happy to settle down and just hang out with my people. I haven't met any cats yet, but my humans think I may do well with a slow, proper introduction. While I'd probably enjoy having another playful dog in the home to romp around with and learn from, it's not a requirement. As long as I continue getting plenty of socialization, I'll be happy as your one and only pup, too. Since I'm still just a puppy, I'm learning all the important stuff. I'm working on potty training and will need a patient family to continue teaching me, along with leash training and getting comfortable in a crate. I can also be a little vocal when I want attention, and I won't hesitate to let you know when I think it's time for more love or playtime! If you're looking for a playful, affectionate puppy who loves kids, adores being with his people, and is ready to grow into an amazing lifelong companion, I'd love to meet you. With a little patience, plenty of love, and consistent training, I know I'll become the best friend you've been waiting for. Moseby is from Texas.

Story
Welcome Bitsy to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 5-pound small Terrier/Cairn mixed pup. Her mom is Monica. She was on the street as a stray. We took her in to find out she was pregnant. The puppies were born in our Rescue. They have gotten lots of interaction. They are very social and friendly. Bitsy is one of the smaller pups in the litter. She is full of personality and very good with her litter group. She goes on a wee pad and is good in a crate. She likes all people and is not shy around strangers. Her mom is 15 pounds. We do think Bitsy will be 15 pounds or less full grown. She is not a big shedder. She will make some lucky family a good pet. Anyone who adopts a puppy should not work all day everyday because a puppy needs to be with their family and not home alone all day. She needs to finish up her puppy training. She will be a great dog for a social person wanting a matching puppy personality. She would be fine in a smaller condo size yard. She would be fine with other dogs. She can go with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is getting spayed, vaccinated and she will be ready for her forever home. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally. We can also use one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

The puppies were born in our Rescue. They have gotten lots of interaction. They are very social and friendly. Hannah is the most fluffy puppy in the rescue and she has slightly longer legs. This will make her a nice walking companion. Her coat is soft and thick. She is a fun pup to pet because of her coat. She is full of personality and very good with her litter group. She goes on a wee pad and is good in a crate. She likes all people and is not shy around strangers. Her mom is 15 pounds. We do think Hannah will be 15 pounds or less full grown.
