Story
Metro is the kind of puppy who brings a little extra joy and laughter into every room he enters. This young Lab and American Staffy mix is full of goofy charm, playful energy, and a heart that just wants to be close to his people.
He is friendly with humans of all ages and does well with other dogs, making him a great fit for a variety of homes. Metro can be a little unsure when meeting new people at first, but give him a minute and you will see his sweet, affectionate personality shine through. Once he feels comfortable, he is all about playtime, cuddles, and sticking by your side. Like most puppies, Metro is still learning the ropes. He is mostly potty trained and will thrive with a consistent routine and a little patience. He is crate trained and leash trained, rides well in the car, and already loves classic puppy activities like playing with toys and chasing after a ball, even if he sometimes gets a little mixed up and runs the wrong way, which only adds to his charm.
Metro has a playful, active spirit and would love a home that enjoys the outdoors and includes him in daily adventures. He would also do wonderfully with another dog to help burn off energy and show him the way. When it is time to wind down, he is more than happy to be your lap companion and soak up all the affection you are willing to give. He may whimper a bit when settling into his kennel, but with consistency and reassurance, he quickly relaxes and drifts off to sleep. Metro is that perfect mix of silly, sweet, and loving. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will keep you smiling and fill your days with play and affection, Metro might just be your perfect match.
Metro 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. 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.
