Story
Location: Calgary, AB // Age: 6 and 7 Years Old // Sex: Spayed Female and Neutered Male // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Untested // Kids: 10+ // Meet Cera & Ducky 🐾❤️ These two tiny souls are the definition of bonded. Wherever one goes, the other follows — and after everything they’ve been through together, we can’t imagine separating them. At 6 and 7 years old, Cera and Ducky are officially ready to find a foster-to-adopt home together. Ducky is the sweetest little gentleman. Quiet, gentle, and unbelievably soft-hearted, he simply wants to be close to his people. His favorite thing is being cuddled up in your arms outside while he watches the world go by. Despite living with IVDD and having some mobility challenges, Ducky has never once acted like he’s in pain. In true chi fashion, he still tries to zip around the yard and be part of absolutely everything happening around him. He settles beautifully in his crate and is just such an easy little companion to love. Then there’s Cera — the zesty half of the duo 😅 She’s got that classic fierce chihuahua spirit wrapped up in the softest little body. She will dramatically paw you if you stop petting her before she’s decided you’re done, and she keeps a loving, protective eye on her beloved Ducky at all times. She enjoys walks and little adventures (which are also helping with her weight loss journey 💪), and she’s not afraid to give a bark or grumble if she has opinions about something. Together, they are incredibly easy dogs to have around. Total snuggle bugs. They settle beautifully into family life, adore being cozy, and have been wonderful with other dogs. They have shown some caution around very young children and “pointy little fingers,” so a home with older, respectful kids — or an adult-only home — would be ideal for them. These two don’t need perfection. They just need someone willing to open their heart to a bonded pair who still have so much love left to give. If you’ve ever dreamed of having two little shadows following you around the house, this might just be your pair ❤️ If you're interested in meeting Cera and Ducky, please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Story
Location: Blairemore, AB // Age: Approx: 2 years // Sex: Spayed female // Size: Approx 12 lbs // Energy level: High // Dogs: Yes, she needs another playful dog // Cats: Untested // Kids: Older, dog savvy kids // Meet Amber, a 12lb bundle of love and loyalty currently looking for her forever home in Blairmore, Alberta. Described by her foster family as a wonderful and affectionate companion, Amber is a "velvet velcro dog" who thrives on human connection. While she can be a bit shy when venturing out into the world, she is incredibly confident and happy once she settles into her home environment. One of her most endearing and unique traits is her habit of standing up on her back legs to let you hold her front paws—a sure sign that she is ready for some love and attention. Amber is a high-energy girl who absolutely lives to run and play. Her favorite pastime is racing back and forth in a large grassy yard, and she would be the perfect match for a family that enjoys staying active. Because of her zest for life and her desire for constant interaction, Amber should go to a home with another playful dog. She currently lives with a senior dog whom she "bugs" innocently to play, so she would truly thrive with a canine sibling of a similar age and energy level who can keep up with her zoomies and wrestling matches. In her daily life, Amber is a smart and motivated learner who already knows commands like "come," "quiet," and "no." She is doing fantastic with her house training and will stand by the door when she needs to go outside. While she is a total pro at car rides and enjoys her walks, she can be a bit skittish around loud traffic and will bark at new people when she is feeling scared. She is looking for a patient family who will give her the time she needs to decompress and feel safe. Once she knows she is part of the pack, she is a world-class snuggler who loves to spend her evenings tucked under a blanket right beside you. Amber handles her kennel well for a few hours at a time and is very content playing with toys in her pen. Because she is so high-energy and prone to running laps at top speed, she would do best in a home with older children who won't be accidentally knocked over by her enthusiasm. Amber is a gentle, kind, and beautiful soul who just wants a family to call her own. If you have a yard for racing and a spot on the couch for cuddling, Amber will reward you with a lifetime of unwavering loyalty.

Story
Location: Leduc, AB // Age: Approx 9 years old // Sex: Neutered male // Size: Approx 8lbs // Energy Level: Low/Medium // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Yes // Kids: Older kids // 🐾 Meet Nito — your tiny, devoted shadow. Nito is the definition of small but mighty. This sweet senior boy has seamlessly settled into foster life, proving that age is just a number. Whether it’s a leisurely 45-minute walk, a car ride adventure (bonus points if there’s a drive-thru involved 🍟), or curling up beside you on the couch, Nito is simply happiest being wherever you are. 🐾 He’s an easy, joyful companion on leash—no pulling, no fuss—just a friendly little gentleman who wants to say hello to everyone he meets. And while he may be tiny, he’s not afraid to stand up for himself if another dog isn’t polite. We love a confident king 👑 At home, Nito is affectionate, funny, and just the right amount of quirky. He adores being close to his person, happily snoozing beside you at night and soaking up every ounce of love during the day. He also fully embraces the spoiled life—think cozy beds, adorable outfits (which he loves wearing), and being carried like the royalty he clearly believes he is. 🐾 Nito gets along beautifully with people, dogs, cats and just about everyone he meets. Because of his small size, he would do best in a home with other small dogs who will respect his space—especially when he’s snuggled up with his favourite human. However he does love a good play buddy🐾 As a senior, Nito is looking for a home that truly understands and embraces the commitment of caring for an older dog. He has had an eye surgery and he requires eye drops minimum three times a day (some days up to six times!), so his future family will need a schedule that allows for consistent care. Regular veterinary check-ups and attentive monitoring will also be important to keep him feeling his best. There will be ongoing eye care for this sweet boy. In return, you’ll get a deeply loyal, loving companion who will make every single day brighter. 🐾 He’s still working on perfecting his housetraining (he’s getting there!) and may occasionally forget his manners in public spaces—but honestly, it just adds to his charm. 💛 Nito’s dream home? A calm, loving household where someone is home often and ready to dote on him endlessly. A family who will take him on walks, play with him and cherish these golden years, keep him cozy and cared for, and treat him like the incredibly special little soul he is. Because make no mistake—Nito isn’t just looking for a home. He’s looking for his person. And when he finds them… he’s not letting go. 🐾 If you're interested in learning more about Nito, please complete an application on our website: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Story
🏠 Currently in a Vancvouer foster homeHi… my name is Kkamang 🖤I’m a 1 year and 6 month old Chihuahua mix boy, just 5kg (11 lbs) — small enough to fit in your arms, and hoping to fit in your heart too.I was rescued from a dog meat farm. Since the day I was born, I didn’t know what it felt like to have someone call my name. No warm arms. No soft whispers. I wasn’t a “someone” — I was just… there. Inside a metal cage, each day wasn’t about learning. It was about enduring. I learned how to be quiet. How to wait. How to survive.So when I first meet someone new, I pause for a moment. It doesn’t mean “go away.” It means, “Is it really safe this time?” But if you offer me a gentle voice… a small treat… a little patience, my tiny wall falls very quickly. Because the truth is — I like people. I always have. Once I know you, I’m much more affectionate than you’d expect. I’ll press my little body right next to you, sit close, and look into your eyes as if I’m asking for love. No one ever taught me how to be loved, but somehow, I know how to want it.I get along quietly and peacefully with other dogs too. I don’t cause trouble. I know how to share space and not feel lonely.Home life, though… that will be new for me. A house. Daily routines. Rules about where to potty. Time spent alone. I may make mistakes. I may be clumsy at first. But those moments won’t be because I’m lacking — they’ll simply be signs of a life I was never given the chance to learn.Please wait for me. Please teach me slowly. If you do, I will trust you with my whole heart. I will become a deeply loving, loyal little family member who believes completely in my person.I was born just to survive. Now, I want to live. I want a life where I don’t fear being sent back to a cage. A life where I don’t worry about being abandoned again. A life where someone calls my name every day.That’s why I’m looking for a family who will be patient as I learn home life step by step, who will use gentle voices instead of force, and who will promise that I will never return to a cage again.Will you be my very first family? Please let the rest of my life be remembered not for sadness — but for love. 🖤🐾

Story
Location: Calgary, AB // Age: 5.5 Years and 4.5 Years // Size: 12lbs each // Energy Level: Low/Medium // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Yes, but need time to warm up to new cats // Kids: 8+ dog savvy kids // Some bonds are unbreakable — and Bebe & Blue are proof. 💕 These two sweet girls (5.5 and 4.5 years young) are a packaged deal, a built-in best friend system, and the ultimate snuggle duo. They sleep together, kennel together, explore together… and they’re looking for a forever home together. 🌙 Low energy, high cuddle factor. They adore their walks, enjoy a little toy chase (returns not guaranteed 😄), and Bebe is a proud tug-of-war champion. When the day winds down? They’re happiest curled up in your bed, snoozing peacefully through the night. 💗 Their personalities? Blue is the toy “de-stuffer” extraordinaire — fluff beware! Bebe is enthusiastic about life (and occasionally windshield wipers… she’s certain they’re suspicious). They greet their people with joy, can be a tiny bit enthusiastic on leash, and are learning their manners like the good girls they are. They aim to please and blossom more every day as their confidence grows. 🏡 The Home They’re Hoping For: • Dog savvy cats are ok. • Older, dog-savvy kids preferred. • At least one warm lap… but ideally two. • A family willing to continue building their confidence with patience and love. 💞They’re crate trained (together, of course), ride beautifully in the car, and are working hard on polishing up their house training and polite manners. Bebe is on a vet-prescribed urinary diet after previously having crystals — no stones, no ongoing issues, just a special food to keep her feeling her best. These girls can be a little timid at first, but once they trust you? You’ll have two loyal shadows who just want to love and be loved. ✨ If you believe life is better in pairs, Bebe & Blue are ready to fill your home with twice the warmth, twice the giggles, and twice the snuggles. Ready to open your heart (and your bed)? 💞 Apply to meet them by completing an application on our website: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
