Story

Zuzu is a 7-month-old rat terrier mix weighing about 30 pounds. She is a very sweet and sensitive puppy looking for a calm and patient home. Once she trusts you, she is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to her person following you around the house and curling up at your feet. She does great with other dogs and cats and would likely do best in a home with a confident canine companion. Zuzu is still very shy with new people and environments, so she will need someone patient who understands fearful dogs and is willing to help her continue building confidence. She is just a gentle, timid girl who needs time, love, and understanding to truly blossom. Best fit: • Calm, patient home (preferably female-only) • Experience with shy or fearful dogs • Another friendly dog is a plus Ideally a large fenced in yard. Zuzu is struggling to walk on a leash. We love her very much, but after four months she has not been able to warm up to my husband.

Story

Aeryn is a gentle 3-year-old rat terrier and Jack Russell terrier mix. She may be a little unsure for the first minute or two when meeting someone new, but it doesn’t take long before her tail starts wagging and her whole body wiggles with excitement. Once she warms up, she is happy to greet new friends and soak up all the attention she can get. She is truly a people’s dog at heart. While she gets along well with dogs of all sizes, Aeryn tends to prefer spending time with her humans. She will play a little with other dogs, but she is just as happy to relax nearby or curl up for a nap. In fact, many of her foster dog friends enjoy snoozing beside her. Her interactions with other dogs often feel more gentle and maternal than playful, which makes her a calming presence in the home. If she lives with another dog, she would do best with one that does not need a constant playmate. Aeryn has a moderate energy level and enjoys toys, but she also excels at being a cozy nap companion. She is eager to please and has a sweet, gentle temperament that makes her a joy to have around. She has not met children yet, but based on her personality, she would likely do very well with them. She is crate trained and actually loves her crate. It is her favorite little cave where she relaxes, naps, and sometimes gathers up a pile of soft toys. She sleeps in her crate overnight and does well, although she can be a bit vocal in the morning when she is ready to go outside. Her barking is not frequent, but when she does bark she has a surprisingly big voice for her size. Because of this, a home without shared walls would be the best fit for her. Aeryn is still working on perfecting her potty training, but she is doing well with a consistent routine. As long as she is taken outside first thing in the morning and shortly after meals, she does a great job going potty outside. With her sweet nature, wiggly greetings, and love for cozy naps with her people, Aeryn is the kind of dog who quickly becomes a beloved companion. She is ready to find a home where she can be someone’s loyal little shadow and favorite snuggle buddy. Aeryn 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 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.

Story

Meet Raptor, the puppy who likes to pretend he’s the cool, calm, collected member of the group… until you get him one-on-one. Around the other puppies, Raptor acts like the laid-back observer. But the moment he has you to himself? Surprise! The chill guy disappears and the attention-loving goofball comes out. If you stop petting him, he will absolutely let you know about it. Raptor believes attention should be continuous and uninterrupted. His favorite hobby is shoe sabotage. Raptor specializes in sneaking up while you're standing there minding your business and carefully untying your shoelaces. It’s a very important job and he takes it seriously. Raptor gets along well with his siblings and lives with four adult dogs and four cats. The dogs are cool with him, and he would very much like to be friends with the cats… but the cats have not yet approved his application. If you're looking for a puppy who is equal parts chill, silly, affectionate, and mildly mischievous, Raptor is ready to keep you entertained. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
