Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sherwood is the kind of dog who makes you smile without even trying. A calm, sweet boy with soulful eyes and a heart full of quiet curiosity, he’s mostly potty trained, walks well on a leash (even if he’s still learning the finer points), and does great in a crate—with a little encouragement and maybe a snack or two. This gentle pup is crate trained, car-ready, and even-tempered, making him a breeze to have around. When he arrived at his foster home, the resident pups gave him a loud welcome—but Sherwood didn’t bat an eye. Instead, he quietly took it all in, followed his foster upstairs, and settled into the routine like he’d been there forever. He’s got that perfect energy balance: curious and happy to tag along, but calm and respectful. No jumping, just a little excited dance when he’s happy to see you. He seems to LOVE food and is incredibly polite during mealtime—waiting patiently while everyone else finishes their bowls. Sherwood might not know what to do with toys yet, but he’s clearly eager to learn. He’s never shown a hint of aggression, even when other dogs are barking in his face. We’re not sure how he is with kids yet, but with his gentle nature, we think he’ll adapt well in the right home. If you’re looking for an easygoing companion who’s sweet, trainable, and already has a head start on the basics, Sherwood might just be your perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? Sherwood is waiting! Sherwood is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 6/28/2025 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. 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. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. C To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
