Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! I’m Tinker, a young, likely chihuahua/rat terrier mix with a gentle soul, a playful streak, and a whole lot of love to give. I’m friendly with humans of all ages and get along great with dogs big and small—so whether your home is busy or quiet, I’ll fit right in. I may be little, but I’m a great listener! One of my foster family’s favorite things about me is how well I pay attention—I usually understand what you want the very first time. I’m calm, sweet, and eager to please. I enjoy toys, car rides, splashing in water, and curling up in a warm lap for cuddles. I can be a bit vocal when I hear exciting things outside or when someone comes to the door (I just like to keep you informed!), but overall I’m a gentle, affectionate girl with basic training already under my belt. I’m still working on full potty training, but I do use potty pads and just need a little patience as I keep learning. Oh—and here’s a fun fact about me: if you blow air toward my face, I’ll try to catch it . I’m a little silly like that. At the end of the day, I’m just a sweet, loving pup looking for a new home where I can be someone’s loyal companion. If you’re searching for a calm, affectionate, and endlessly lovable little dog, I might just be the one for you! Tinker is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 01/24/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am 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. 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.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I’m Marble. I’m a shy, soft-hearted girl who’s still discovering just how safe and fun the world can be. I may not show my full personality right away, but once I feel comfortable, my sweet and playful side starts to shine through. I came from a home with many dogs, and when I first arrived here I was very timid. I’ve been through a lot, so I’m naturally cautious with new people and new dogs. Sudden movements or loud noises can startle me, and I may bark at unfamiliar visitors or large dogs at first. Sometimes I’ll even bark through the fence at a neighboring dog or when a new dog comes into the home—but once I realize everything is okay, I settle quickly. With time and patience, I’ve made wonderful progress. I now seek out attention and pets on my own, and I’m starting to really enjoy exploring, playing, and relaxing in the quiet comfort of the house. I love toys (maybe a little too much!) and one of my funniest habits is stealing toys from the other dogs just to get them to chase me. I’m fast, playful, and surprisingly silly once my confidence kicks in. I get along well with dogs of all sizes, older children, and I politely ignore cats. I’ve lived peacefully with multiple dogs and have never had a cross word with any of them. A calm home with a confident companion dog would be ideal for me—someone who can show me the ropes and help me feel secure. I’m mostly potty-trained and do great using pee pads. I have excellent house manners, am very quiet overall, and rarely bark unless other dogs start it first. I’m not crate trained, but I sleep happily on the bed and can be trusted when left alone—I’m not destructive at all. I don’t love the cold, so my leash-walking skills are still a bit of a mystery. I’m independent and not clingy. I’ll come to you when I want affection, and when I do, it’s truly special. I may never be a full-time lap dog, but I am a loyal, gentle presence who bonds deeply with those who give me time and understanding. My previous owner had to enter a nursing home, and the rescue took me in along with four of my canine friends. With patience, stability, and love, I’ll continue to grow into the wonderful companion I’m meant to be. If you’re looking for a quiet, affectionate toy-lover who will bloom at her own pace, I just might be your Marble. Marble is from Texas.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* This sweet boy has only been with us a short time, and he’s already showing how special he is—with so much more personality still to come. As he’s gotten more comfortable, he’s starting to show that he’s very much a “choose his person” kind of dog, forming a strong bond and happily settling in for long naps right next to you. He does show signs of separation anxiety when left alone, but leaving the TV on and allowing him to roam (rather than being crated) has helped him feel calmer and more secure. He can be nervous around new people and will retreat to his safe space at first, but in just a few days he’s made great progress, coming out on his own to say hello and ask for gentle pets. A warm heating pad is one of his favorite comforts during chilly Minnesota days. He’s still learning potty routines and has done well using a designated pee-pad area—great progress for such a short time. While he appears to have had limited socialization, he’s improving every day and will continue to blossom with patience, consistency, and a loving home. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Chip is from a local rescue transfer.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Carlo Gizmo is a devoted little companion who takes his job of loving his person very seriously. His favorite place in the world? A warm lap, cozy arms, or a soft blanket — preferably all three at once. He bonds deeply with his people and thrives in a calm, predictable home where he can feel secure and cherished. Carlo is polite around other dogs and coexists well with them, though he prefers a respectful social circle. He’s happiest soaking up human attention and would truly shine as the center of someone’s world. A quiet canine companion could be considered, especially with thoughtful introductions (and a few extra treats). Carlo’s eyes have a soft, cloudy appearance, which only adds to his charm. While his vision may not be perfect, he navigates his environment confidently and appreciates gentle, predictable handling. Like many dogs who form strong attachments, Carlo does best with clear routines and boundaries. He is most comfortable when furniture access is managed and does best sleeping in a kennel at night, which helps everyone rest easy and sets him up for success. His foster has found that consistency and structure help Carlo feel secure and relaxed. Carlo can be expressive about his preferences and does best with adopters who are confident, observant, and comfortable reading dog body language. He is not a fan of clothing and can be sensitive about harness placement, so a low-fuss approach suits him best. Carlo would be a wonderful match for one or two adults who enjoy a close bond with their dog and appreciate a companion with a big personality in a small package. He’s not looking for chaos — just a steady, loving home where he can feel safe and adored. Carlo came to rescue from a local impound and is ready to start his next chapter with someone who understands that loyalty like his is a gift worth protecting. If you’re looking for a deeply devoted companion and are comfortable providing structure and consistency, Carlo may be your perfect match. Carlo is from a local impound.  Carlo is from a local impound.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
