Story

Nilla Bean has been in rescue for a few months now and has morphed into a great dog. She would do well as an additional dog, or could go solo. She loves to play with dogs of all sizes, and really reads the room, coaxing but never aggressive. When alone, she plays with toys, chews on a treat, or drags her bed around. She can stay alone in the house and doesn’t get into mischief. She is potty trained to go outside, and I’m currently leaving a reusable pee pad by the back door in case I miss her cues. She has used it only twice in the last two weeks. She does really well in the car, staying in the back seat in her bed. She’s ok on the leash and would probably love walks and trips to the dog park. She was on a large acreage at our farm in the country for a couple of weeks, and loved running in the yard. She currently has access to a fenced yard and isn’t an escape artist. She loves her people and has no interest in running away. She is vigilant with outside motion and sounds and can get caught up in barking at trucks and people. At this point, it’s her most challenging trait. In a quiet neighborhood she hardly barks at all. So perhaps an apartment or condo wouldn’t be the best option, although she is quite smart and I believe she could be trained. She behaves well at the groomer for nail trims but did need distractions for the job to get done. She has a beautiful thick coat of fur, and doesn’t mind below zero temps especially when there’s a squirrel to chase. She loves belly rubs and massages and snuggles as well. She hasn’t been around young children so I can’t speak to this. So, if you’re looking for a curious, spunky, affectionate friend for your home, Nilla is a great choice Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $425.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 11, 2026, 8:35 pm

Hi, my name is Smoky. I am from Minnesota. From her foster: This girl is interviewing for her BFF (Best Friend Forever). Your lap will never be cold and she promises to shower you with kisses. She will strive to ensure you always lack personal space. She is a fierce protector. Smoky is doing well with potty training as long as it's not too cold and her person understands it's really them that is being trained. She plays well with the other young, small, high-energy pup in her foster home. She hasn't been around cats in her foster home. Are you ready to welcome love, kisses and snuggling into your daily routine?

Story

Hi, my name is Sunny. I am from Minnesota. From his foster: This handsome boy is a lover. He loves to warm laps and give kisses. Sunny enjoys snuggling with and wrestling with Smokey. He is doing well with potty training when taken out on a regular schedule. Looking for an energetic cuddle bug with a big personality? This guy is ready to fill the position. Sunny does well sleeping in his kennel through the night. It takes time to earn Sunny's trust but once you do, he will love you and protect you. He loves to ride in the car and enjoys the outdoors. We are currently working with Sunny on his trust and fear of strangers, due to his protective nature I feel he would do best in a home with older respectful children or adults. Sunny would thrive in a calm, patient home that will give him the time and love he deserves. Sunny has done really well with our cats and other dogs.

Good with dogs,

Story

History: Boots is a handsome young papillon who was surrendered by a commercial breeding program with some health concerns that we learned off upon arriving to rescue. The ultrasound confirmed that Boots has a congenital heart condition called a patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA. This is an abnormal blood vessel that connects two major arteries leaving the heart, the aorta and the pulmonary artery. This vessel is normal and necessary for a puppy in the womb, but it is supposed to seal off and close within a few days of birth. In Boot's case, this vessel remained open, or "patent." This is causing an abnormal amount of blood to be shunted from his body's circulation back into the circulation of his lungs. This abnormal blood flow is causing some extra work for the left side of his heart; a condition we call volume overload. Over a long period, this strain can cause the heart to enlarge and eventually fail, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs, which is known as congestive heart failure. Thankfully, Boot's PDA appears to be on the smaller size and the impact on his heart is currently mild, his left heart is only borderline enlarged. He is not in or near congestive heart failure at this time. While it is rare, another potential long-term risk is that the high blood flow could damage the lungs, leading to a reversal of blood flow through the PDA, which is a very serious complication. Because of these risks, the standard recommendation for any PDA is to close it. The procedure to fix a PDA is typically minimally invasive and has a very high success rate. A small incision is made in his inner thigh to access the femoral artery. Using a specialized live x-ray called fluoroscopy for guidance, a catheter is passed through the artery up to the PDA and deploy a special device called an occluder. This device stays in the vessel permanently and blocks the abnormal blood flow. Once the PDA is successfully closed, the dogs is considered cured and can go on to potentially live a normal, full lifespan. The outcomes for PDA closure are generally much more predictable and successful than for other procedures, though like anything, success rates are not 100%. But they are very high. The main potential for Boots is his size. At 8.5 pounds, he is just above the general lower weight limit for the standard devices and delivery systems that are available. He will need to have the procedure completed at U of M veterinary center by board certified cardiologists. At this time, we are waiting for a month or two for him to potentially grow a little more. The risk of his condition significantly worsening or reversing in the next few months is low, though not zero. A Note from the Foster: Hello! Miy name is Boots but I prefer Bootsie-Boooooo. I was born on Valentines Day and I am a love bug. I am nine months old and weigh 8.8 lbs and I am here to entertain you with my dancing, my zoomies, tail chasing especially when I catch it, and my sock stealing – I love Bombas. I really like treats and have learned to take them nicely. The nicer I am the more I get! I currently live with a 45 lb pittie and a 20 lb miniature poodle and we all get along and chase each other around the house. I play tug of rope with the big one and I always win! I am shy around new people (especially men – they are loud) till I understand they are nice and some even give me treats. I love going for walks, although my leash manners are progressing. I want to smell every leaf and always have to catch the leaf that opposite where I am walking. AND most of all I love running in my friends fenced in yard. I do not like kennels (I am told I protest too much) but I sleep nicely with my humans and love to curl up next to them whenever I can, sit in a lap or follow them from room to room. When we go new places, I ride in a bag over my human’s shoulder and peek my head out till I am comfortable. Sometimes when I am playing my tongue sticks out and I am told I am soooo cute. I really am working at potty training. My human takes me outside frequently and most of the time I get a head rub and treat when I do “potty”. At night I wear a bellyband and sometimes during the day if we know we won’t get out timely.I have not figured out how to let people know I need to go out.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lola is a sweet, loving little lady who may be shy at first, but warms up quickly once she feels safe. When she does, she seeks out affection and loves lounging around with her people, soaking up affection. Lola is leash trained and enjoys calm walks, though she can feel nervous in large dog groups. She isn’t interested in playing with other dogs and is mostly indifferent to them, but she has been around dogs of all sizes without any issues. She does best with a consistent routine and will need some continued support with potty training. Lola also finds comfort in her kennel space, which she happily considers her cozy retreat. Lola Pumpkin would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can feel secure, relax, and be someone’s loyal companion. Lola Pumpkin is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 02/20/2026 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.
