Story
Kokache was found as a stray in Texas and has turned out to be one of the sweetest, easiest dogs to have around in her Texas foster home. She is house trained with a doggy door and willingly goes into her crate. She is quiet, gentle, and even-tempered, and she blended into her foster home almost instantly. She quickly figured out the household routine! Kokache is incredibly affectionate and truly wants to be a lap dog. She loves to cuddle and will happily sleep in the bed if you let her. Most of the time she is relaxed and content, though every now and then she gets a little bouncy and playful. Kokache does well around other dogs and would likely adapt well to many types of homes. She is a simple, loving companion who just wants to be close to her people and be part of everyday life. Kokache is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 03/07/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and noon.

Story
Meet Piper, a sweet little survivor with a bright spirit and a spunky personality. Like her brother Cole, Piper came from humble beginnings. Her mom bravely cared for her puppies outside, sheltering them under a shed during bitter cold weather until a kind Good Samaritan brought them to safety. Because of that second chance, Piper is now thriving and ready to find a family of her own. While she shares her brother’s sweet nature, Piper is the most outgoing of the litter. She’s confident, curious, and always ready to be part of whatever is happening around her. She loves to follow her person from room to room, just to make sure you don’t forget about her. And once you scoop her up, she melts right in for some snuggles. Piper is still a young puppy, so she’ll need basic training and continued potty training as she grows. With her friendly personality and eagerness to connect, she has all the makings of a wonderful, well-rounded companion. She enjoys playtime, loves attention, and balances her puppy energy with plenty of sweetness. Piper would thrive in a home ready to guide her, love her, and include her as part of the family. In return, she’ll offer devotion, cuddles, and the joyful presence only a happy, outgoing puppy can bring. Piper is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/7/2026 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.

Story
Meet Ethel! Snuggle bug Ethel is a Chihuahua-Dachshund mix with an adorable floppy ear! This senior pup is a low-maintenance snuggle buddy, perfectly happy to just laze around and meander the house with you. She is trusted to be left alone and is not destructive in the slightest. She loves to follow her foster around and humbly asks for cuddles with a head nudge and a wagging tail. All this sweet girl desires is a soft home, gentle cuddles, and head pats - and maybe some window time to watch the birds and squirrels! Ethel’s used to a doggy door to go out as she pleases, but she also indicates at the door when there isn’t one available. She can be free-fed or schedule fed. Because of the Dachshund in her, she also does the most adorable thing ever - she burrows! She will look for blankets and pillows and constructs her tiny nest to be cozy. Ethel is a quiet companion; she doesn’t bark, doesn’t have interest in many chews or toys - she just wants to relax and be around you. She will get extremely excited when you arrive home or offer her a walk, though - she does an adorable excitement dance! Ethel has four legs but her back left leg doesn’t work well. She uses it for support and climbing, but carries it when she walks or runs. Despite being basically a tripod, this girl can climb stairs and hop on and off couches! She also is a fantastic walking buddy and LOVES walks, staying right at your side. Her leg doesn’t slow her down at all! Ethel is looking for a loving, cozy home with plenty of head scratches and blankets. She would love to have a dog companion - she’s used to having another dog in the house and likes to watch them run around- but she can also be a great single pup in the right household! *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.* ---- 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.

Story
Meet Cole, a sweet little guy that loves to give sad puppy eyes to get what he wants! It’s clear that he’s simply happy to be safe, warm, and surrounded by people. He greets everyone with a friendly hello, soaking up attention and affection like he’s been waiting his whole life for it. Cole’s story started out a little rough. His mom gave birth and cared for her puppies outside, eventually taking shelter under a shed during very cold weather. She did everything she could to keep them alive and protected. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan found the little family and brought them inside to safety until rescue could step in. As a young puppy, Cole is still learning the basics. He’ll need continued potty training and all the normal puppy lessons—manners, routines, and guidance to help him grow into a well-rounded adult dog. The good news is that he’s eager to please and has a naturally gentle temperament that will make training a rewarding experience. He does well with everyone he meets and has a calm, sweet nature. He tolerates being in his crate and is learning that it can be a safe, cozy place to rest. Like any puppy, he enjoys playing with toys and exploring his surroundings, but he isn’t overly wild—his personality leans more toward tender and affectionate than rowdy. Cole is ready for a forever home that will be patient, consistent, and excited to help him learn. In return, he’ll offer a lifetime of loyalty, sweetness, and the quiet joy that comes from watching a once-chilly little survivor grow into a beloved family companion. Cole is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/7/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and noon.
