Story
Hi there! I’m Anny the precious little breeder release mini Schnauzer retired momma. So many things have changed since I was rescued from the awful and traumatic breeding life last fall. First and foremost, I am learning what it means to be a safe and adored family member - a life that I never dreamed was even possible. Next, I’m learning that not all humans are awful. I still don't like being picked up / it still scares me a lot. I now take treats from my foster mom and dad and quite like them. I'm very cautious, and it takes me a long time to warm up, but I do eventually, after a lot of time.  Loud noises still terrify me, so I am not a good fit for a home with small children or a lot of disorganized chaos. I am still very much in training on accepting a leash and walking, but I have come a long, long way, and actually quite like walking with my foster sister. In fact, I'm the greatest doggie sibling that ever was because I'm independent, playful, silly, sweet, and love every doggie I've met as long as they’re close in size to me. I am often found hanging out in my foster sister and brother’s bed or kennel, sometimes even with them still in there, too. I love to chew my bully sticks, greenies, and no hide chews. I also love to play with my toys. There are some special needs that I must have in my next loving home - 1. Another confident doggie sibling. I don't like being alone, and I need to follow a good fur leader. 2. A secure fenced yard is a must. I need to be kept safe at all costs because I am still in doggie training, and I don't like being leashed, and it takes me a good long while to trust that process. Until I do, I am a flight risk. 3. A really patient and caring dog mom or dad. I have been through a lot of unfair and icky experiences in my short life. I am not immediately cuddly, and I need a safe and cozy space of my own. I do like sleeping in the bed with my foster mom, dad, and siblings. The end of their bed is one of my most favorite places, along with my place in front of the fireplace and my fuzzy rug, bed, and crate. 4. Lots of training. Guess what? I'm a purebred terrier girl. That means I’m stubborn and have a big mind of my own. Training to listen, walk, sit, focus, and come to my human is an absolute necessity. If you're willing to accept me for my tiny quirks, let me tell you what / you will just love me. I'm such a sweet girl. I'm just a little mischievous clown. I have the most fantastic terrier head tilt! If you’re familiar with Mini Schnauzers, I am 1000% one with all the traits and personality.   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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Gigi – A Resilient Soul with a Heart Full of Love Some dogs have a story that tugs at your heart—and Gigi’s is one of them. This 10-year-old beauty was found during a snowstorm, abandoned and alone in an impounded car. No one came forward to claim her, but that heartbreaking beginning led her to a second chance—one she's grabbing onto with all the love she has left to give. When Gigi was first rescued, she was a hot mess (scroll through her photos and you’ll see what we mean!). Matted fur, neglected teeth, and a spirit in need of care. But a fresh haircut, some dental work, and a whole lot of love later, Gigi has officially had her glow-up—and she’s never looked back. Life hasn’t been easy for this sweet senior. Gigi recently suffered a small stroke, but in true survivor fashion, she bounced back like a champ. The only lasting sign is a slight head tilt—which honestly just makes her even more endearing. It’s her little reminder to the world: “I’ve been through some stuff, but I’m still standing.” Gigi is deaf, but don’t let that fool you—she’s incredibly tuned in to the people she loves. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves being near her humans. She’s partially potty trained and improving every day with a bit of guidance and consistency. She does bark when left alone, so a home without shared walls is ideal for this chatty lady. She’d also love a fenced-in yard to safely explore and a furry companion to show her the ropes and keep her company when her people are away. Gigi may be a senior, but her heart is young. She’s ready to trade the chaos of her past for the comfort of a loving home, warm blankets, belly rubs, and all the cozy naps she can handle. If you’re someone who believes in second chances and sees the beauty in a dog who’s weathered life’s storms, Gigi is waiting for you. Let her golden years be the best ones yet—you’ll never regret it.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal? Please go to our website www.wagsmn.org and fill out an Adoption Application.  Once the application is processed, a Wags representative will contact you, answer any questions you may have, and set up a time/location for a meet and greet!  A home visit is required prior to adoption.  Thank you for choosing to adopt!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. M’lynn is a gentle girl, just waiting for the right person to give her the peace and love she deserves. Found on the street after bravely raising ten puppies all on her own, M’lynn has shown incredible strength and determination—but beneath that courage is the sweetest, gentlest soul. She’s a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality shines through. M’lynn is calm, affectionate, and low energy—more of a cuddle-on-the-couch kind of girl than a fetch-in-the-yard type (at least for now!). She's not in a rush, and she’s looking for someone who isn’t either. Patience is key with M’lynn, but the reward is a loyal and loving companion. She loves kids and is happiest riding along in the car by your side. She learns quickly and wants to please. M’lynn has overcome so much, and now she just needs someone to show her the world can be safe, kind, and loving. M'lynn was treated for heartworm disease and will remain on activity restrictions for several weeks. It is important for heartworm treated dogs to remain on heartworm prevention lifelong. Click here to learn more about heartworm disease. M'lynn is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 5/3/2025 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. 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.April 20, 2025, 12:53 pm

Story
Age: Approximately 8 year old Weight: 9 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, requires one in the home Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes REQUIRED: Companion Dog Meet Our Royal Highness: Lucy Lou - The Pretty Little Princess Herself! My foster mom calls me her pretty little princess — and as someone who’s both pretty and little, I fully accept the title. According to the transitive property (yes, I’m smart too), that makes me an official princess. And as a princess, I expect to be treated accordingly! At a dainty 9 pounds and a dignified 8 years old, I’ve perfected the royal lifestyle: lounging on the couch, chewing on tasty treats, receiving endless schritchies, and being near my human at all times. Sitting with her, on her, near her, breathing her air — I simply must be in the center of attention. That’s the princess way. Now, let’s address the court jesters — aka the two young foster boys in the house. Sigh. Hooligans. Absolute chaos goblins. They’re constantly invading my royal bubble, ignoring my dignified warnings (growls, side-eyes, a classy flash of teeth), and trying to rope me into their antics. I mean, read the room, boys — this tiara says “nap,” not “wrestle.” But don’t get me wrong — I do require a loyal royal companion in my forever home. A fellow dog who’s calm, respectful, and knows how to properly share a kingdom. I may be a princess, but I do enjoy a little canine company — just not the rowdy kind. I strut my stuff on walks to let the neighborhood know I’ve arrived, and when the day winds down, I’m all about curling up with my person for cuddles and princess kisses. If you’re ready to roll out the red carpet for a sassy, sweet, and utterly lovable lap queen, I might just be your girl. Long may I reign — in your heart, your lap, and preferably on your comfiest couch. Adoption Fee: $525

Age: Approximately 8 years old Weight: 10 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, requires another dog in the home Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Unknown Potty trained: Yes, does well on a schedule Crate trained: Yes ** NEEDS ANOTHER DOG IN THE HOME** Ginger is a sweet quiet lady who loves to cuddle and snuggle in bed. She came into foster with Lucy Lou as their owner passed away. Even though they came in together they don't seem bonded but should have another dog in the home. Ginger is shy at first but warms up quickly and will come to you for attention. She is potty trained, doesn't like to go up or down stairs, and likes to go for rides in the car. She is easy going and just wants love and attention. She is starting to take treats out of my hand and is a little protective of any treats on the floor. When you are outside and call her name, she will lay down for you to pick her up. Adoption Fee: $525
