Story
Meet Gordo! A 4 year old Maltese and Poodle mix pup. This sweet little guy is friendly with people of all ages and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He enjoys meeting new friends and is happiest when he has company, whether it is human or canine. Gordo loves the simple joys in life. He enjoys a good walk and spending time outside exploring the world. He also enjoys playtime with toys, romping around with other dogs, and going along for car rides. If treats are involved, he is extra motivated and enjoys learning new things, which makes training a fun experience for both him and his people. He is still perfecting his potty training, so he will do best with a patient family who can help him stay on a good routine. Gordo is also a bit of an escape artist and will happily dash out an open door if given the chance, so a watchful home that keeps doors secure will help keep this curious little explorer safe. Gordo is a lovable, playful companion who is ready to bring joy, laughter, and plenty of outdoor adventures to his new home. With a little guidance and a lot of love, this sweet boy will make a wonderful addition to a lucky family. Gordo is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/21/2026 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. Click here to learn more about this program. ---- This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease and is available through our Foster-to-Adopt (FTA) program. 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. Click Here to learn more about heartworm disease.

Story
Meet Lobu! Lobu is a sweet, silly girl who came to us from a local shelter partner along with her eight adorable puppies. She has been an absolutely amazing mama and is just about finished raising her babies. Now it’s finally her turn to be spoiled and loved! Lobu would thrive in a home where she can cuddle on the couch, go for relaxing walks, and be treated like the princess she is. She’s both crate trained and potty trained, and she’ll politely let you know she needs to go outside with a couple of quick barks. She loves playtime—especially squeaky toys and good chew toys. They’re her favorites so far! She’s a wonderful size for just about any living situation, whether that’s an apartment or a house. While a fenced yard isn’t required, she would certainly enjoy having one. Because she’s been such a devoted mama, Lobu may need a little patience as she adjusts to being away from her puppies. She doesn’t love being separated from them, but everyone is ready to find their own forever families. With time, reassurance, and love, she will blossom. Lobu seems most comfortable with women but has done just fine with her foster dad. She hasn’t yet been around children, so that is still unknown. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who deserves to be cherished after raising her babies so beautifully, Lobu might be your perfect match. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption.   The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org. You can also access the necessary online forms here as well.  ##2654322##

f you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete  an Adoption Request Form. This is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at www.rescuecrew.org. If you're searching for a sweet, cuddly, silly, and endlessly entertaining puppy — look no further! You’ve truly hit the jackpot with any pup from this litter. Each one is full of love, personality, and charm. Dale is a very sweet, old soul. He loves to cuddle!  They’re all doing well with potty training, and while crate training is still a work in progress, they’re making great strides. As they transition to their forever homes, it will be their first time away from their siblings and their amazing mama, so they’ll need patient, understanding families who can give them time to adjust to all the big changes in their little lives. Don’t let their small size fool you — these pups have BIG, wonderful personalities! Mom weighs just 25 pounds, and while Dad remains a mystery, one thing is certain: whatever their breed mix may be, it’s absolutely adorable. Most importantly, they are incredibly sweet, loving puppies ready to bring joy to their forever families.
