Story
Meet Captain Crumbs—"Crumbs" to his friends! This adorable 3-year-old Dachshund/Terrier mix is the perfect sidekick for all of life's adventures. He's the ideal size to tag along on errands, rides beautifully in the car, and enjoys exploring the neighborhood on walks. Crumbs is a curious, goofy guy with a medium energy level. He loves investigating the backyard, keeping an eye on what you're up to, and being wherever his favorite people are. Once he's had a chance to burn off a little energy, he's more than happy to curl up for snuggles and relax by your side. Crumbs gets along well with other dogs but would also be perfectly happy as your one and only. He's crate trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and is doing great with his potty training when given regular potty breaks. He enjoys chew toys, is starting to discover the fun of tennis balls and plush toys, and is always up for a little adventure. Like many little dogs, Crumbs takes his job as home security very seriously! He'll let you know when visitors arrive and can be cautious with unfamiliar people, so he'll do best with slow introductions and a home that doesn't have a constant stream of guests. Because he barks when first left alone, he'd be happiest in a house rather than an apartment. Older children would also be the best fit, as he can get a little mouthy during play. Crumbs is happiest when his family is nearby and will thrive with people who can continue building his confidence, provide daily exercise, and show him that he doesn't have to be the neighborhood watchdog. He's currently undergoing heartworm treatment and is well on his way to recovery—his foster family would be happy to answer any questions about his care. If you're looking for a loyal little shadow with a silly personality, an adventurous spirit, and a heart full of love, Captain Crumbs is ready to report for duty!

Story
Hi! I'm Enzo — a sweet, funny Chihuahua looking for my forever family. I’m fully potty trained, great in the car, and sleep well in my crate at night, though I’d much rather cuddle up with you. I’m a champion napper and love burrowing under blankets. Being close to my people is my favorite thing. I have a moderate energy level and enjoy a couple of daily walks. I’m working on losing a few pounds and love exploring the neighborhood. I know my name, have excellent recall, and really want to make my humans happy. I enjoy dogs of all sizes, though high‑energy puppies aren’t my favorite. I’ve lived with cats and can coexist with them — dog‑savvy cats who understand boundaries are ideal, since I sometimes think they want to play chase. Toys are a big part of my life — I love chasing, shaking, and zooming around with them. I’m also good with nail trims when wearing a muzzle and handled by a professional. I don’t like being picked up, so I’m looking for a home that respects that. I haven’t lived with kids, but I’d likely do well with older children who understand boundaries and dog body language. I’ve been passed between homes through no fault of my own, so stability and routine mean a lot to me. I thrive when I know what to expect and can settle in as part of the family. If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal little companion who loves walks, toys, car rides, and snuggling under the covers, I might be your guy.

Story
Hi there! I'm Bridget, and I'm full of love, loyalty, and just the right amount of sass! If you're searching for an easy-going best friend, you've found her. I'm just as happy going for a walk or playing a fun game of chase with my doggy friends as I am curling up beside you for a cozy evening at home. Most of the time I'm pretty laid-back, but every now and then I get a case of the zoomies to keep life interesting! My favorite part of every day is simply being with my people. Whether we're out on an adventure or relaxing at home, I'm happiest by your side. I've got great manners, too! I'm potty trained, crate trained (it's my cozy safe place), walk nicely on a leash, know my basic commands, and I'm a quiet girl who doesn't bark much. I love everyone I meet, including kids, and I get along great with other dogs. My friends think I might do well with cats, too, but that hasn't been officially tested. I'm sweet, affectionate, and loyal, and I can't wait to fill your home with love, laughter, and a lifetime of companionship. Bridget is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 7/25/2026 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. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. 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.

Story
Hi, I'm Layla! I may be a little shy when we first meet, and I'll probably bark when new people come into the house, but give me a chance to sniff you and I'll be happy to make a new friend. Once I trust you, I'm a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being outside, going for walks, playing with toys, and even splashing around in the water. I came from a neglectful situation where I lived outside with badly matted fur, so learning to trust people took a little time. With patience, kindness, and a fresh haircut, I discovered just how good ear scratches, cozy laps, and being loved can be. I'm mostly house trained and have a funny little routine when it's potty time. I also ride wonderfully in the car and will happily sit quietly on your lap. Right now I'm completely obsessed with my Santa stuffie. I even carry it outside with me when I go potty! I also love a good chew, but I prefer to enjoy my favorite toys and treats without other dogs getting too close, so I'll need someone who understands how to manage my space around other pets. I can get anxious and vocal in a crate, so I'm hoping to find a family that will help me continue building confidence. If you're willing to give me a little patience at first, you'll discover a loyal, loving companion with plenty of personality and an adorable collection of quirks that will keep you smiling. Layla is from Texas. ---- This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian.

Story
Lovebug is aptly named as she is ready to love you with her whole heart! She wants all the cuddles and attention you can give her and will give all the love right back to you. Whether riding in the car together, taking walks or helping with household chores, she will be perfectly content to be by your side. While she thoroughly enjoys the company of dogs and kids alike, her family should be extra mindful of her safety given her tiny stature. Lovebug would really like to have a dog friend in her new home, but is perfectly fine with being the center of attention. She will need to continue working on housetraining; she is currently practicing using potty pads. She understands the concept of being crated and does well, but still learning the word for it! She settles down nicely when it's time to rest. Lovebug is ready for all the love she's put out into the world to come back to her! Lovebug is from Texas.

Story
Play, eat, sleep: repeat. That's Chloe's preferred lifestyle. Found in an abandoned lot with a few health issues going on, she is feeling much better now that she is safe in a foster home and can let her guard now. She is a little bit shy when first meeting people, but warms up after some treats/reassurance! She's been through a lot and learning to trust again. She knows some basic commands and has learned the kennel is a safe spot where she can rest. She loves to play chase and tug with other dogs and she will keep you laughing with her playful antics! Chloe is more than ready to find her forever home where she can get the love and care she deserves and continue to blossom into her true wonderful self!
