Story
Location: Medicine Hat, AB // Age: Approx 3 years old // Sex: Neutered male // Size: 10lbs // Energy level: Medium // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Yes // Kids: Yes // This sweet little albino Chihuahua has a heart full of love and a mission to make sure no human ever feels lonely again. Whether he's curled up beside you on the couch, accompanying you on a neighbourhood stroll, or dramatically dancing on his hind legs in hopes of a treat or cuddle, Angel wants nothing more than to be close to his people. 🐾 Angel is a sweet, cuddly Chihuahua with a big personality packed into a tiny body. His foster family describes him as **calm, relaxed, confident, and incredibly affectionate**. These days, Angel is much more comfortable in his surroundings and has really started to settle into the rhythm of home life. He loves being wherever his people are and is perfectly happy to spend the day hanging out with you. His ideal evening? A nice walk followed by cuddles on the couch, and then stretching out across the bed like he pays the mortgage. 😂 Angel has also discovered that life is about more than cuddles! He enjoys playing with toys, chasing them around the yard, and having gentle wrestling matches with his foster sister. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and has become very comfortable living alongside his canine foster siblings. He's also generally good with cats, although he may take a little more interest if another dog starts chasing them. His favourite activities are pretty simple: **eat, walk, sleep, repeat.** 🐾 He's an excellent walking buddy and happily keeps up with the bigger dogs on two 45-minute walks each day. He's good on leash, although rabbits and birds can sometimes get his attention and bring out a little extra enthusiasm. Angel has come a **long way** since arriving in foster care. He's gained confidence, learned to navigate stairs, become more comfortable around other dogs, and is now able to free-roam the main level with his foster family and canine companions. His recall is coming along nicely when food is involved, and his foster family is working on sit, down, and stay. There are still a few things Angel is learning. He's partially house trained and needs frequent bathroom breaks, so he'll need a family willing to continue working on his potty training. He's also not crate trained and doesn't love being left alone for long periods. Because of this, Angel would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. He can manage a few hours alone, but a family with a flexible schedule or someone who works from home would be ideal. Angel is currently taking medication to help manage his anxiety, and his foster family has seen wonderful progress as he's settled in. He'll need adopters who are willing to continue providing the patience, consistency, and routine that have helped him thrive. And, of course, we can't forget his looks! With his snowy-white coat and adorable pink features, his foster family says he looks just like **Pinky from *Pinky and the Brain***. And honestly… they're not wrong. Angel is looking for someone who will give him the time he needs to continue growing into the confident, happy little dog we know he can be. In return, you'll get a gentle, affectionate companion who simply wants to be by your side. **If your idea of the perfect dog is someone who wants to walk with you, cuddle with you, eat with you, sleep beside you, and basically participate in everything you do… Angel might be your guy.** ❤️ If you would like to meet Angel please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Story
Location: Calgary, AB // Age: Approx 3 years old // Sex: Neutered male // Energy level: Medium // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Yes // Kids: No // 🐾 Meet Buddy & Midget – A Little Pair With a Whole Lot of Love! ❤️ Say hello to Buddy and Midget, an adorable bonded pair of approximately 3-year-old Chihuahuas who are ready to find their forever home together! These two may be small, but they have big personalities and even bigger hearts. Their favourite things include playing together, soaking up the sunshine, and being close to their people. ☀️💕 Midget is the confident, outgoing half of this duo. She settled into her foster home almost immediately and wasted no time making herself comfortable, especially if a lap was available! This affectionate little girl loves attention and is always happy to be part of whatever you're doing. She's a little more energetic than Buddy and enjoys playing fetch, tug, and wrestling with her best friend. Midget is also a little escape artist, so she'll need a securely fenced yard and a family who understands the importance of keeping this adventurous girl safe! 🐾 Buddy is a sweet, slightly shy boy who just needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people. When he first arrived in foster care, he was unsure whether he could trust his new surroundings, but with patience and kindness, he began to blossom. He's made wonderful progress and is becoming more comfortable around strangers! Once Buddy knows you, his confident, playful side starts to shine. He enjoys toys, especially playing with blankets, and is perfectly happy to spend time relaxing in a sunny spot. He has two different-coloured eyes, making this handsome little guy extra special! 🥰 Buddy can be a little more sensitive about handling, particularly around his ears and during nail trims and teeth brushing. He needs a family who will respect his boundaries, let him build trust at his own pace, and learn to recognize when he needs a little space. 🐾 These two love to play together, enjoy food puzzles and sniffing games, and are crate-trained. They're still working on their house-training, so their new family will need to be patient and consistent as they continue learning. Leash walking is also a work in progress. With positive reinforcement, routine, and encouragement, there's plenty of opportunity for these little ones to keep building their skills! 🏡 Their ideal home: Buddy and Midget are looking for a loving, adult-only home where they can stay together and enjoy all the companionship their little hearts desire. No children, please, as Buddy needs a quieter environment where his personal space and comfort can be respected. Both are good with other dogs and cats, and while canine companions aren't a requirement, small dog friends would be preferred! 🐾 Buddy and Midget are a wonderful reminder that sometimes the best things really do come in small packages. Midget may steal the spotlight, but Buddy is a sweetheart who wants to feel safe enough to soak up all the love, too. They deserve a family who will cherish them both, celebrate their individual personalities, and give them the security and unconditional love they've been waiting for. 🐾 Could you be the forever home these two little shadows are dreaming of?

Story
Location: Leduc // Age: Appox 6 years old // Sex: Neutered Male // Energy Level: Medium // Dogs: Yes - Calm, respectful dogs // Cats: Yes // Kids: Untested - likely older respectful kids // 🐾 Meet Buddy — The Little Bobtail With a BIG Personality! 💙 If you're looking for a little dog with a whole lot of personality, Buddy might just be your guy! 😂 This adorable Chihuahua mix is a daily dose of entertainment, complete with his signature little tail-less booty wiggle, bounce, and jump that will have you smiling in no time. Seriously, that bum deserves its own fan club! 🍑💃 Buddy is affectionate, confident, playful, and always ready for his next adventure. His favourite things? BALLS, WALKS, FOOD, AND SNUGGLES. In that order... maybe. 😉 He loves a good game of fetch (he brings the ball back about 75% of the time, depending on whether he can find it again 😂), enjoys chasing toys around the house, and will absolutely let you know if you're taking too long to throw the ball! 🚶‍♂️ A gentleman on the leash! Buddy is a fantastic walking companion who gets excited when he sees his harness. He walks beautifully without pulling and is happy to stroll along with minimal sniffing. He's also house-trained, knows sit and come, rides well in the truck, and is very eager to please. Talk about a little overachiever! ❤️ Buddy's softer side: Once he's comfortable, this boy loves affection. At bedtime, he tucks himself right into the blankets with his people and settles in for a cozy night's sleep. He's learning to trust, building friendships, and showing more of his wonderful personality every day. 🐾 Buddy can happily coexist with cats and currently ignores his foster family's cat-savvy kitties. Buddy gets along with other dogs and would do best with calm, respectful canine friends who understand personal space. He appreciates polite introductions and prefers dogs who won’t get right up in his face. With a little respect for his boundaries, Buddy is happy to share his space with other four-legged friends! 🐾 He's also friendly with new people he meets on walks and is always happy to accept pets from his new admirers! 💙 🏡 Buddy's dream home: An active home that will keep his mind and body busy with walks, games of fetch, toys, and plenty of love. He can settle when left alone and has done well for up to four hours. He's still working on becoming comfortable with having his feet handled for nail trims, but hey, nobody's perfect! 🐾 Buddy has so much love and laughter to bring to his future family. He's the perfect mix of playful adventure buddy and blanket-burrowing snuggle bug. All he needs now is someone to throw the ball, fill the food bowl, and save him a cozy spot in bed. 🐾 Could Buddy be your new best friend? 📩 Apply to adopt through our website and tell us a little about the home you could offer this sweet, wiggly-bottomed boy! https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Story
Location: Olds, AB // Age: Approx 2 years // Sex: Spayed female // Energy level: Medium // Dogs: Yes, confident dogs // Cats: Yes, dog savvy cats // Kids: No // 🐾 Meet Penny – Tiny, Sensitive, and Deeply Devoted 🌶️ Penny isn’t your typical dog — and she’s not trying to be. She’s a one-of-a-kind, deeply sensitive little soul who is looking for something very specific: not just a home, but her person. This tiny chihuahua has a big personality, strong opinions, and an even bigger capacity for love — but that love is earned, not given freely. Penny is what we lovingly call a “relationship dog.” She doesn’t belong to everyone… but to the right person, she will be everything. 💕 🐾 Her Personality: Penny is a one-person dog through and through. She forms a deep bond with her chosen human and devotes herself completely — often ignoring everyone else. She has shown a clear preference for men and would likely thrive in a home with a male primary caregiver. 🐾 With her person, Penny is: • Affectionate and snuggly (on her terms) • Playful and engaging • Eager to please • Incredibly loyal 🐾She loves cozy spaces, curling up beside you, and playing little games with her human. She may even invite play with small, confident dogs who understand her communication style. 🐾 Understanding Penny Penny is not aggressive — she is sensitive and handling-aware. She communicates clearly using body language, and she thrives when people listen. She needs: • Choice and control in her interactions • Predictability in her environment • People who respect her boundaries 🐾When she feels safe, her defensive behaviours fade — because underneath it all is a dog who simply wants to feel secure. 🐾 Boundaries = Trust Penny does not enjoy being picked up, restrained, or handled unexpectedly. She is especially sensitive when resting or in her safe spaces. Her ideal person understands that: • Trust is built by letting her come to you • Affection happens on her timeline • Respecting her “no” is what earns her “yes”. 🐾Once that trust is there, her bond is incredibly deep and rewarding. 🐾 Her Needs & Routine: Penny thrives in a calm, low-pressure home with a predictable routine. She is: • Pee pad trained and very reliable • Quiet and settled when left alone • Comfortable free roaming in the home. 🐾She enjoys enrichment like lick mats, snuffle mats, and food puzzles, which help her relax and feel secure. While she’s still building confidence with harness and leash work, she currently prefers indoor play and gentle interaction over busy outdoor environments. 🐾 Medical Note: Penny has urinary crystals and will need to remain on a prescribed diet, along with consistent access to fresh water. This is easy to manage but important for her comfort and wellbeing. 🐾 Her Ideal Home: Penny is looking for a home that is: • Adult-only • Calm and quiet • Experienced with small, sensitive dogs • Respectful of a consent-based relationship 🐾She may do well with a small, confident dog — or she may thrive best as the center of someone’s world. 🐾 The Right Match: Penny isn’t for everyone — and that’s okay. She doesn’t want to be everyone’s dog. But for the person who understands her… The one who gives her space, earns her trust, and lets her choose them. 🐾 Penny will become a fiercely loyal, deeply loving companion who bonds in a way that is incredibly special and rare. 💘 She’s not just looking for a home. She’s looking for her person. 🐾 Interested in meeting Penny? Please apply here: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Story
Location: Edmonton, AB // Age: Approx. 7 -10 years old // Sex: Male // Size: Small // Energy Level: Low // Dogs: Yes! A canine companion is preferred // Cats: Yes! Very respectful and unbothered // Kids: Yes, respectful children // House Trained: Yes, with a consistent routine // Crate Trained: Yes, with a little bedtime reassurance // Meet Simon! 🐾❤️ If you're looking for a sweet little senior gentleman who enjoys leisurely strolls, neighbourhood surveillance, and a peaceful life with his furry friends, Simon might just be your guy! At approximately 7-10 years young, Simon is a gentle, curious, easygoing boy with a heart of gold. He's a little shy at first, but give him some patience and a predictable routine, and you'll start to see his adorable personality shine through. ❤️ 🏡 A Professional Homebody: Simon loves the simple things in life! Sleeping in, relaxing in his dog bed, lounging in the recliner, and watching the world go by from his favourite window. He takes his neighbourhood watch duties VERY seriously, so a window at Simon's height would be a dream come true! 🐾 The Sniffari King: Don't let his senior status fool you! Simon LOVES his walks and happily spends his time investigating every interesting smell along the way. He's great on leash, although he occasionally insists on stopping for a particularly important sniff. One or two daily walks, keep this little guy happy! 🐶 A Friend to the Furry Ones: Simon is fairly independent with humans but absolutely loves the company of other animals, especially dogs! He's polite with larger dogs and has even shown off some adorable little play bounces with smaller friends. He's also fantastic with cats, showing no apparent prey drive, even when the resident cat gives him a surprise boop on the bum! 😂 👨‍👩‍👧 People & Kids: Simon has done well around children, calmly observing their excitement and moving out of the way when needed. He could live with older, respectful kids. He can be timid around unfamiliar people, especially on leash, but he's learning to trust and becomes more confident when allowed to approach at his own pace. ❤️ 🌙 A Little Bedtime Ritual: Simon is house trained with a consistent routine and sleeps through the night in his crate! He does have one adorable request: someone needs to lie beside his crate for about five minutes until he settles. He just likes knowing his people are nearby. He also needs a little help getting in and out of his crate. 🍽️ Privacy, Please! One of Simon's funniest quirks? He does NOT like being watched while he eats! He'll actually check to make sure nobody is looking before enjoying his meal. Apparently, a gentleman deserves a little privacy at dinnertime! 😂 ❤️ A Gentle Little Soul: Simon enjoys soft pets, cozy blankets, and relaxing beside his people. He's cooperative with brushing, handles vet visits like a champ, and adjusts well to new environments when his routine stays consistent. Car rides aren't his favourite, but he's much more comfortable travelling in a secure carrier. 🏠 Simon’s Dream Home: Simon would thrive in a quiet, low-key household with patient humans who are home often. Someone working from home, or a family with plenty of time for him would be wonderful. Most importantly, Simon is looking for a friendly, canine companion! He truly enjoys having furry friends around. An affectionate, dog-savvy cat may potentially be considered, although this hasn't been fully tested as a substitute for another dog. ❤️ 🩺 Simon has a dental scheduled for October 30 so he will have a brand new mouth to go to his brand new home! 💕 Why We Love Simon: Simon isn't the loudest or most outgoing dog in the room. He's the quiet little gentleman who finds happiness in a familiar routine, a good walk, a cozy spot to nap, and the comfort of knowing his favourite people and furry friends are close by. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly special. Beneath that shy exterior is a sweet, gentle soul who deserves to spend his golden years feeling safe, comfortable, and adored. ❤️ Simon isn't asking for the world. Just a little piece of it to call his own. Preferably with a window. Because retirement doesn't mean he's giving up his neighbourhood watch duties! 😂❤️ If you would like to meet Simon, please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Story
Location: Cochrane, AB // Age: Approx 13 years old // Sex: Neutered male // Energy Level: Low // Dogs: Yes, small calm dogs // Cats: Untested, likely fine // Kids: No // 💛 Meet Torey — 13 Years Young and Ready to Be Someone’s Whole World! 🐾 If you’ve ever wished for a little companion who wants to spend every moment by your side, Torey might just be your guy! This quirky, affectionate senior has so much love to give and is looking for a special person who will welcome him into a calm home, spoil him rotten, and let him enjoy his golden years exactly as he deserves. 🐾 Torey is a true velcro dog once he bonds with you. He loves following his favourite person around the house, snuggling on the couch, and sleeping as close to you as possible. And he has plenty of personality! When he’s feeling relaxed, you might catch him sticking his little tongue out, and if you have treats, be prepared for a happy little dance. Food is definitely one of his love languages! 😂❤️ Torey can be an anxious little guy, and he needs time to feel safe around new people. He may snap if he feels frightened or is handled before he’s ready, so it’s important that his future family respects his boundaries, allows him to settle at his own pace, and understands that trust takes time. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet, loving side really shines. He takes daily medication to help manage his anxiety, and his barking has improved with medication and a consistent routine. We believe he’ll continue to thrive in a quiet, predictable environment where he feels secure and has plenty of companionship. 🐾 Torey’s dream home would be a peaceful, adult-oriented household with someone who is home often and genuinely wants a devoted little shadow. He can live with other dogs, provided they’re a good match for his sensitive nature, or he’d be perfectly happy as your one and only. We’re not recommending a home with young children, as Torey needs a calm environment where his space and boundaries can be respected. He can manage short periods alone once settled, but he’ll be happiest with a person who has lots of time to spend with him. 🐾 Like many senior dogs, Torey has a few health considerations. He has a heart murmur that does not currently require medication but should be monitored as he ages. He is still working on his house-training, so his adopter will need patience, consistency, and realistic expectations. Senior dogs deserve understanding, and Torey is looking for someone who embraces the whole package, quirks and all! 🐾 The wonderful news? Torey has completed his veterinary care, including his neuter and dental, and he’s ready to find his forever home! 🎉 Torey may not be the dog who greets every stranger with a wagging tail, but he has something equally special to offer: the chance to build a deep, meaningful bond with a little dog who wants nothing more than to feel safe and loved. 🐾 His ideal retirement plan includes cozy naps, tasty treats, a favourite human, and absolutely no shortage of cuddles. Could you be the person who makes Torey’s golden years his very best ones yet? 💛🐾 If you're interested in meeting Torey, please complete an adoption application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
