Story
Jewel came into rescue after her owner passed away. She previously lived with six dogs of different sizes and was one of the smaller pups in the home. She is an older, cautious girl who needs a little time to decide that someone is safe, but once she trusts you, she is incredibly loving. Jewel is definitely more interested in lounging and snuggling than keeping up with a busy household. She would do best with a retired person or someone who is home often and can give her the time she needs to build trust. She is easily overwhelmed by high energy, so a quiet home without children will be the best fit. She can coexist with calm dogs but tends to be more independent around them. Cats have not been confirmed, though it is suspected that she may do well with them. Her crate is her safe place, and she will willingly retreat there when she feels overwhelmed. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night, although given the choice, Jewel would much rather be snuggled up with her person. Her foster will sometimes discover that Jewel has jumped onto the bed and made herself comfortable right on the pillow. For an older girl, she has some impressive hops. When her foster calls her, she will even try to jump straight into their arms. Jewel is house trained with access to a doggy door. She has never been on a leash, so that will be something new for her to learn. Vet visits are also difficult for her because of her fear and currently require medication to help keep her calm. She was a little underweight when she arrived and prefers Freshpet soft food over kibble or canned food. Jewel is a quiet, sensitive girl who needs someone willing to move at her pace. Give her time to trust, a peaceful place to nap, and plenty of opportunities to snuggle, and her affectionate side will start to shine. Jewel is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 8/22/2026 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. 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
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
Meet Marshal! If you're looking for a puppy who brings endless fun, laughter, and love, Marshal is your guy! This happy little boy is full of personality and approaches every day as a new adventure. Friendly, social, and endlessly curious, he's always ready to make new friends—whether they have two legs or four. Marshal loves just about every toy imaginable, but he's equally happy entertaining himself with a stick he found in the yard! Chasing tennis balls, playing tug-of-war with a rope, and learning new things are some of his favorite activities. He's a smart little guy who enjoys staying busy, but when playtime is over, he crashes just as hard and is always ready for a well-earned puppy nap. This affectionate sweetheart loves snuggles and currently enjoys curling up with his brother when it's time to rest. He has the cutest habit of giving gentle little puppy nibbles when he's excited, and his adorable whiskers always get soaked when he drinks—so don't be surprised if you're rewarded with a few wet puppy kisses! Marshal is almost potty trained and almost crate trained. He may still whine a little in his crate, but he's making wonderful progress every day. With his intelligence and eagerness to learn, he'll continue to blossom with a little consistency and patience. Sweet, playful, gentle, and full of love, Marshal is ready to find a family to grow up with. If you're looking for a best friend who will keep you smiling and fill your home with joy, Marshal is waiting to meet you!

Story
Hi, my name is Conway and I am from Arkansas! This guy is going to be someone's heart & soul dog. The crazy/goofy fur, the sweet/silly personality. This is your guy! Fav qualities: * Cuddle bug- "Scuse me, I'm just gonna crawl/drape across you. This is a good spot, I'll stay here. Affection too?! Yes, please!" * Good eater- "Sharing is caring!" * Great with other dogs- "Ope. Hello there, *sniff sniff* nice to meet you. Want to hang out? I'll share my food." Work in progress: * Confidence- "Can I walk up to you... yes, I can, no, I can't, yes, wait.... yea! I can do it!" * House-training- "Pee and poop outside, great! Oh, back inside, I better pee on this & that. Ope! I've got the boy doggy diaper on again!" * Leash training- "Get it off!!! This thing is trying to get me!" * General obedience/commands- "I'm sorry, were you talking to me?" From the Vet: Conway was diagnosed with a soft/moderate heart murmur, but won't let that slow him down. We also performed cardiac radiographs and lucky Conway everything appeared normal size indicating his murmur could be due to mitral valve insufficiency related to dental disease. No sign of heart disease or failure at this stage. Because of his murmur we recommend close monitoring at annual vet visits as he ages. TBB will proceed with getting him his neuter and dental procedure in the coming weeks and while he is is recovering from dental may need soft food, but a fresh and clean mouth will mean a fresh and new lease on life for Conway and his forever family!
