Story

Location: Medicine Hat Area// Age: 1 Year, 8 months// Sex: Spayed Female// Energy Level: Medium// Dogs: Yes, Gabby loves other dogs// Cats: Yes, but wants to be friebds and will chase// Kids: Yes// If sunshine could take dog form, it would look a lot like Gabby ☀️ This brown-eyed beauty is the definition of joy on four paws — playful, loving, and just the right mix of goofy and smart. Gabby spends her days romping around the yard with her foster playmate, trading zoomies for cuddle breaks and never turning down a snack (seriously… she’s very food-motivated 🍗). Gabby loves dogs, thinks cats are fascinating (dog-savvy cats only, please — she really wants to be friends!), and she’s a total sweetheart with kids. She’s the kind of pup who fits right in — whether it’s family movie night, a weekend hike, or a road trip to somewhere new. She’s spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find her forever people — the ones who will include her in all their adventures and love her for her playful, happy heart. Because honestly?

Dio

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Didsbury, AB

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Location: Edmonton, AB // Age: Approx 2 years old // Sex: Spayed female // Energy Level: Medium // Dogs: Yes! Cats: Yes! Kids: Not tested, but likely ok // Vetting: Up to date on vaccines // 🐶Once upon a time, Dio lived her life at the end of a chain. But those days are long behind her, and this brave, beautiful girl is busy discovering what it means to be a loved family dog — and honestly, she’s nailing it. 🌟Dio is a medium-energy, walk-loving, people-adoring little lady. If you like strolls around the neighborhood and being greeted with pure joy whenever you meet a friend on the sidewalk, she’s your girl. The only time she pulls on leash is when she spots a 🐇 “fast-moving fluffy thing of mystery” — otherwise, she’s a delight. 💛Inside the home, Dio is learning all the cozy comforts she missed out on. She’s house trained, sleeps soundly through the night (preferably snuggled right next to her human), and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and humans of all sizes. Her foster mom says she’s “so sweet and lovable… she’s perfect.” And honestly? We believe it. ✨Dio does have some puppy-ish habits — she may chew things she shouldn’t (shoes beware!), but with a patient family and some guidance, she’s eager to learn. She isn’t a fan of car rides yet, but she’s getting better every time. ✨Because Dio spent so much of her early life without companionship, she’d thrive in a home with another dog buddy to play with and learn from. She loves walks, toys, playtime, and soaking up affection like a little love sponge. ✨If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal best friend who will adore you endlessly, Dio is ready to start her happily-ever-after. 💛 She’s survived a tough beginning — now she deserves a future full of love, comfort, and adventure. ✨If you would like to chat more with us about Dio and set up a meet and greet, please complete an application on our website and one of our volunteers will be in touch. https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Gigi

Chihuahua

Female, Young

Didsbury, AB

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Location: Edmonton, AB // Age: Approx 1 Year // Sex: Spayed female // Size: 18lbs // Energy level: Medium // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Untested - likley ok // Kids 5+ // Meet Gigi 💁‍♀️🐾 18 lbs of sass, smarts, and snuggles If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality, Gigi is your girl. This 18-lb Chihuahua mix is equal parts playful, cuddly, independent, and just a little bit sassy—in the best way. 🐾 Gigi has a medium energy level and thrives on a nice balance of walks and indoor fun. She enjoys a couple of shorter daily walks (about 20–30 minutes), but she’s just as happy entertaining herself with toys, puzzle games, lick mats, and bully sticks. She’s fantastic at playing solo and then politely putting herself down for a nap—honestly, goals. 🐾 On leash, Gigi walks well and is happy to greet people (sometimes a little too enthusiastically—jumping up is something she’s working on). She’s polite with other dogs, preferring a quick sniff and then moving along with her day. While she likes dogs, she would do best with calmer, low-key canine friends, as high-energy dogs can be overwhelming for her. 🐾 At home, Gigi is crate trained, house trained, and an all-around easy companion. She sleeps through the night in her crate (though she would happily upgrade to a human bed), settles well when left alone with enrichment, and travels nicely in the car—preferably buckled in, unless you’re open to her trying to sit on your lap like a tiny co-pilot. 🐾 Gigi is affectionate, confident, and people-loving. She enjoys cuddles, naps near her human, and will even rub against your legs like a cat when she’s feeling extra cozy. She’s great with handling, enjoys being dressed for outings, and greets the world with curiosity rather than fear. Kids are fine too—dog-savvy kids aged 5+ would be ideal, as Gigi appreciates being able to choose when she wants affection. 🐾 Now for her quirks (because every icon has them): • CEO of sock & shoe collecting (no chewing, just redecorating) • Occasional alert barking at hallway noises or door knocks • A dramatic little butt dance when it’s time to go outside • A grazer at mealtimes, which works best in homes where other dogs won’t steal her food 🐾 Gigi’s ideal home is one that enjoys daily walks, enrichment, and quality cuddle time. She’d be happy with a single person, couple, or family who appreciates her sassy-sweet personality. A home with another calm, playful dog could be a great match, but she’d also be content as your one-and-only sidekick. 🐾 Smart, classy, a little bad-assy, and full of charm—Gigi isn’t just a dog, she’s a lifestyle. 💖 If you'd like to chat with our team about meeting Gigi, please complete an application on our website: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Toto

Chihuahua

Male, Adult

Didsbury, AB

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Location: Didsbury, AB// Age: Approx 5 years// Size: Small// Sex: Neutred Male// Energy level: Low// Vaccines: Up to date// Dogs: Yes// Cats: Yes// Kids: Kids 15+// Toto has been in long-term foster care with our rescue’s founder for about two years, and during that time he has made incredible progress. When he first arrived, his foster couldn’t even come within a few feet of him for the first six months. With patience, love, and positive reinforcement, Toto has slowly learned that the world—and people—can be safe. Toto is still a very fearful boy, especially when it comes to physical touch. Most of the time he prefers to keep his distance, but when he does choose to snuggle, he shows so much love. In those moments, you can tell just how badly he wants to be cuddled and cherished, even if it’s scary for him. Recently, he’s even started sitting on his foster mom’s lap once in a while when he’s feeling brave. These tender milestones are proof of how far he’s come. Toto has also started exploring his backyard—something he couldn’t do before. He is a very routine-oriented boy who thrives on predictability and the security of knowing what to expect each day. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body—he’s incredibly sweet and gentle. New people don’t seem to scare him as long as they give him space; from a distance, he seems perfectly content having humans around. While Toto isn’t comfortable going for walks and finds the leash and outside world overwhelming, he has recently allowed his harness and leash to be put on slowly if needed for a car ride. Getting in the car is tough, but once he’s in his foster family’s car or camper, curled up in his bed, he’s happy to be part of the adventure. He no longer needs his crate, either—another big step forward! Most nights, he sleeps in bed with his foster parents or in his dog bed nearby. Toto eats a special dehydrated food that works best for him since many of his teeth have been removed. One of his most endearing quirks is his pre- and post-meal “happy dance”—a little wiggle and shuffle that never fails to make his foster family smile. Toto’s progress may be slow and steady, but he is a completely different dog today than he was two years ago. He may always be a work in progress, and it’s possible he will remain a forever Ruff Start resident—but he is still adoptable to the right home. Toto needs: An adopter with experience working with very fearful or previously feral dogs. A quiet, predictable home with a fully fenced yard. A slow, patient transition into his new home. Someone who understands that Toto may never be a typical snuggly dog, but who will celebrate every small step forward. Toto is good with other dogs, respectful cats, and would do best in a calm home with no young children. What he needs most is safety, stability, and unconditional love. If you have the heart and patience to continue Toto’s journey and give him a safe place to land, he just might be the perfect match for you. If you think your home would be a good match for Toto, please complete an adoption application on our website and one of our team members will be in touch with you shortly via email to arrange a phone interview.
