Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Pebbles is a little ray of sunshine wrapped in fur! She’s gentle, happy, and loves being near her favorite people. She’s quiet, smart, and even-tempered, making her the perfect lap buddy for cozy snuggles or relaxing afternoons. Pebbles is crate trained, eager to please, and loves a soft blanket to curl up on. Her shiny little eyes will melt your heart every time she looks at you! Pebbles gets along well with other dogs, but she would also be content as an only dog with plenty of love and attention. She’s easygoing, friendly, and always ready to bring a smile to your day. Pebbles is heartworm positive, but by the time she moves to her new home in Minnesota, she will have completed 30 days of doxycycline treatment. She’ll be ready for all the cuddles, love, and fun that her forever family can give her. Pebbles is looking for a loving home that can support her treatment and give her the affectionate, happy life she deserves! Pebbles is from Texas.  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.   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 20, 2026, 2:17 pm

Story
***Drako is BONDED to Blakely and they need to be adopted together!***Meet Drako and Blakely!This mixed/matched pair found themselves in a Texas impound after their owner died and there were too many animals in the home for family to take in. They spent some time in this rescue where they learned how bonded these two were. When separated, they become incredibly stressed, depressed, and shut down. However, once they are reunited with each other, they become happy, confident and loving!They were having trouble finding a rescue that was able to take them both so they then made the long journey to Minnesota to come to our facility! Blakely is the younger one at roughly about 1 year old where her buddy Drako is about 2 or 3. Blakely was estimated to be some sort Kelpie mix, but it is really hard to say for sure. Drako is estimated to be some sort of Maltese or yorkie mix. This adorable pair is on the hunt to find their perfect forever home where they can spend their days playing, cuddling up together, and romping through a yard. If you have room in your house and heart for these two, apply online today!Adoption fee for the pair is $400 + $30 microchip fee (each) + tax

Age: 6 years Weight: 9 pounds Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Unknown Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes *** Bonded pair with Trixie. Must be adopted together. *** Meet Pebbles and her sidekick Trixie! These 6 year old pups were raised together and will need to stay together in their new forever home. Here’s what they have to say: “We really do love each other because, hey, we’ve always known each other! We like to play together, groom each other, and just hang out like besties do. At 6 years old we have a lot of life and love left to give. Not only that, but we are housebroken, crate trained and rarely bark. Our foster says I'm more laidback and Trixie is more spirited and adventurous, but we’re both calm and love to snuggle. Truth be told, we just love to be petted and adored! Will you be our forever person who will give us lots of love and pets? We sure hope so! We promise to love you right back!" Yours forever, Trixie and Pebbles Adoption fee: $395
