Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hera is from Texas. She is one of 10 puppies that were found with their mom under an abandoned building. Hera was brought into rescue, received her necessary veterinary care, and is absolutely thriving! It's time to find her a home of her very own here in MN. Hera is not completely potty trained, but her foster family in Texas is working hard at it with her every day. Hera is still on her puppy schedule.. sleep, eat, play & poop.. lol! Giving her adequate outside time roughly 30-45 minutes after she eats consistently is crucial to her continued potty training after she gets to her new home here in MN. Hera is not crate trained per se, but crate training a puppy is quite easy.. just make sure you have a crate open and available to her throughout the day. put her bed/blanket in there, feed her her meals there, and give any high value treats in the kennel. She is still in her land shark phase as those puppy teeth are falling out, preferring something soothing to chew on.. benebones/raw bones. Soon she will associate it with all things good and safe. If she has troubles settling to sleep or if you need to crate while you are gone, usually covering the crate with a blanket will help her settle. Hera is a very smart little girl and her Texan foster mom thinks she will be incredibly easy to train, as she is so eager to please. She loves to play with toys and splash around in the puppy pool at her foster home. She would love an active family that just wants to make her a part of their life.. going on walks every night to explore her new surroundings.. maybe throwing the ball a bit.. you know.. puppy stuff. She promises to pay you back with all the puppy kisses you can possibly handle! If you think this sounds like the perfect little arrangement to you, please fill out an adoption application today! They arrive in Minnesota on 5/4/2024 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 5pm and 9pm. 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. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. 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.
