Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ivy came to us as owner surrender as one of the kids in the family was allergic to her. She appears to be a schnauzer mix of some type and kind of resembles a scruffy muppet. She is about 2 to 3 years old. She has been vet checked and spayed and her fee is $150. Ivy can be a little reserved upon first meeting. She is generally a happy and playful gal who needs some good exercise. She does get excited and happy when she sees a leash and loves to go for walks. She's affectionate and loving once she's comfortable and secure. Ivy did live with older kids and cats and has done okay with other smaller dogs. She would prefer a calmer environment without a lot of foot traffic as she does get a little protective. She does need a bit of basic training. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 6, 2025, 11:31 am

Story
Mabel is a gentle, three-year-old mini schnauzer–poodle mix and oh-so-sweet. At around 30 lbs, she is a cuddler who just loves belly rubs—when you stop petting her, she'll stare at you until you start again!Found in an abandoned house, she came into foster care unsure who to trust. Mabel adjusted to her foster home at her own pace before transforming into a full-on lap dog. She is fully house-trained but hasn't tried crate-training yet due to her history. Though she barked initially when new people entered the home, she settles quickly and is generally quiet.Mellow by nature, Mabel enjoys peaceful walks and long naps but doesn't really care for toys. She just wants a calm environment where she can continue to come out of her shell. She hasn’t had much interaction with other dogs or cats and will need slow, gentle introductions if her future family has other pets. Mabel startles easily with sudden noise or fast movement, so a home without young children (ages 8 and up) will be required.Mabel is an intuitive, clever girl with all the love in the world to give. Are you ready for Mabel?If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Captain — the adorable little chaos biscuit himself. Captain is a happy guy who definitely believes his voice is his superpower. If a leaf moves outside? He’ll let you know. A shadow walks by? He’ll let you know. Your own reflection in the window? Yep… he’ll let you know that too. He’s currently learning the house rules and, so far, the cats might as well be decorative pillows—he completely ignores them. This skinny little dude came in severely matted but was a total champ during his makeover. Now he’s rocking his “freshly baked” look. Captain is still a nervous nugget, especially around men, but he’s trying his best. Kids? He hasn’t met any yet, but with a gentle, respectful child, he’ll probably warm up. As for cuddling… he’s far too busy being excited, confused, and dramatic to sit still for snuggles. One day. Not today. He LOVES squeaky toys and will proudly squeak one for an unreasonable amount of time. He also does the classic “pick me up” dance—back legs up, front paws flailing on the fence like a tiny circus performer demanding attention. Captain is a small guy with a big personality who just needs time to settle in and realize the world isn’t out to get him. With patience and love, he’ll go from nervous baguette to confident loaf in no time. Captain is from a local impound.

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.November 30, 2025, 9:32 am
