Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Benita is from Texas.  She was picked up there as a stray and brought into rescue after her stray hold was up.  Benita is a sweet and cuddly little lady that just  wants  her own special spot on the couch next to you.  Benita is mostly potty trained, and is working hard at it every day with her Texan foster family.  She just needs some time outside to do her business roughly 30-45 minutes after eating.  Benita is kennel trained, taking all her meals there as  we'll  as any high value treats.   Benita is also leash trained, and loves to take rides in the car!  Benita has not been exposed to large dogs, cats or  children  while under our care, so they are still an unknown for her.  If you think that you have the perfect spot on the couch for this little sweetheart, please fill out an adoption application today.   They arrive in Minnesota on 05/04/2024 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 5pm and 8pm. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. One big thing you should know is they are heartworm positive - but please don’t let that scare you away from adopting them! After they undergo treatment for their condition they will be completely healthy again, and heartworm is not a contagious disease. Because they need treatment, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) program. Click here to learn more about this program. They will get heartworm treatment at one of Ruff Start’s partner veterinary clinics in St. Cloud, so their foster will need to be comfortable getting them to and from the appointments. Treatment will consist of three injections: the first will be roughly 30 days after they enter rescue. Then, the second and third injections will happen 30 days after the first. When they are undergoing treatment, they should be on activity ‘restrictions’ which just means they should relax in their crate or cuddle with you.   Click here to learn more about heartworm disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. 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'd like to donate towards this pet's care, you can donate to our Animal Care Fund. Our Animal Care Fund supports the medical and veterinary needs for all Ruff Start Rescue animals. You'll be able to enter this pet's name on the second page of the donation form. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 26, 2024, 3:18 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Bailey is a sweet, 3 year old mixed breed, guesses on the breed mix, Rat Terrier or JRT/Beagle/Whippet? (guessing!) She is a very sweet girl, has lived with other dogs, but is better with dogs her size or bigger and maybe better to mix with males. She was a little dominant with a smaller, meeker female than her (Terrier!? ) So best with perhaps male or larger, males or can be a solo dog. Interested in adopting?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Beau is the sweetest little guy. He is a very mixed breed, and we are guessing on his breed mix. He is a very happy little fellow, quite puppyish at one-year-old. He loves to play with other dogs, but also loves getting all the attention from his people, so can be a solo dog.  Beau is a total goof ball. He is very entertaining and like a natural comedian. He will definitely keep you laughing. He is full of charm, is good with other dogs, and has lived with cats.  Beau is somewhat shy when meeting new people, but once he knows you and knows you are "safe" he opens up and is his sweet, happy, puppy like self. He needs a gentle home, but one that can offer him the fun and activity he seeks. Adult home only or Adult with older children, teenagers, etc.  Interested in adopting?
