Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Stacy is a sweet, playful, and independent girl.. She still has her puppy energy and enjoys playtime, but when it’s time to relax, she’s more than happy to cuddle up with her favorite humans. She’s affectionate and expressive — when you pet her, she smiles and shows her happiness with the most adorable little tongue “blehps.” She has a graceful, agile way about her, almost cat-like in how she moves and carries herself. Despite not having much formal training, Stacy is a very good listener and already obeys commands well, she will be enjoyable for her future family to train and watch her blossom. Stacy seems to prefer people over other dogs, but having another dog in the home is not a deal breaker. She just needs a bit of time and patience to warm up and adjust. Her love for food is very strong — she begs and trends toward food-obsessed — which is likely a result of her past. Stacy was found alongside her sister in the middle of a busy road, searching for food, and it’s believed she experienced starvation before being rescued. With consistency, love, and reassurance, she continues to learn that she is safe now. Stacy is happiest in a home that can provide structure, patience, and consistency, along with plenty of love, attention, and enrichment. She’s a thoughtful, affectionate companion who will thrive with someone who appreciates her unique personality. Stacy is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 1/10 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8am-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. 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.
