Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Dumpling is a big-hearted, high-energy girl who absolutely adores her people. Once she warms up (which only takes a few minutes), she bonds deeply and wants nothing more than to be near her humans. She’s affectionate, playful, and very much a “perpetual puppy” who approaches life with enthusiasm and curiosity. She has basic training, walks on a leash (with room to polish her manners), is crate trained, and does well riding in the car. Dumpling has been working so hard on her potty training, and she's alllmost there.  With a consistent potty break schedule, she'll be completely potty trained in no time at all. Dumpling really loves lap time, despite her energy level, and thrives on interaction with her people. She’s eager to please and happiest when she’s included in your daily life. Dumpling does have a high-energy play style and can be mouthy when she’s excited. Her play includes growly noises that can sound intimidating if you’re not familiar with playful dog communication, but it’s all part of her puppy-like enthusiasm. Because of this, she’s best suited for a home with older children and larger dogs, and not recommended for small kids or small dogs. She can also get overstimulated during play, so an adopter who understands decompression, redirection, and healthy outlets for energy will help her shine. Dumpling resource guards food, so feeding should be managed carefully and ideally in a separate space. She’s also clever and determined — if you’re slow to open the back door, she’ll try to help you out. If she could reach a lever handle, she probably would let herself out, so secure doors and awareness are important. Dumpling came from BARC and has shown that, with structure and understanding, she does very well. She may be reactive to new people around her kennel when stressed, but otherwise she is excellent in her crate. She can be vocal when she wants to go outside, making sure her needs are clearly communicated. Dumpling would do best in a house rather than an apartment and with someone who appreciates an energetic, affectionate dog who is still learning how to regulate big feelings. With patience, structure, and love, Dumpling will be an incredibly loyal and fun companion who gives her whole heart to her people. Dumpling is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 01/24/2026 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. 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.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 24, 2026, 11:44 am

Story
Sweet little Bea was running around rural Georgia with her sidekick for several weeks after apparently being dumped. Everybody in the area said they were friendly, but no one knew them so they called animal control. The girls were very bonded at first, but we feel like their first love is people. They want to love people and be loved so badly but when they didn’t have any people, they became very attached to each other. Her sidekick has now found her forever home and it’s Miss Bea’s turn now. She’s exceptionally sweet and outgoing. She loves to go for walks and rides in the car. She also loves to snuggle on the couch. Bea is 22 pounds and between four and five years old. WE ARE ONLY GUESSING AT HER BREED! She does not really have a JRT temperament but she has the size and cute little short tail. She is up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm tested negative. She appears to be a very healthy and happy girl. She had a couple of accidents the first day in her foster home but now she’s doing very well with house training if you would like to be Miss Bea’s hero and the center of her world, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or Dogs4mylife@gmail.com and we will send you our information and application.
