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. Adoption fee:  $550.00    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 22, 2025, 8:55 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Mister is a happy go lucky guy who loves to play with toys, other dogs, or his people! He is very friendly once he's comfortable, but is a bit cautious when meeting new people at first. He has some feelings about his food bowl being touched while he's trying to eat, so making sure he has space to finish up his meal will help him feel safe and comfortable; with this in mind, it's important that any kids in the home can be respectful of his boundaries! Mister Man loves to toss his toys around as he prances in the yard. He isn't very vocal, but will let squirrels know that he spots them, and will join in if other dogs sound the alarm.  Mister French is a very good boy who is excited to settle into his new Minnesotan life. If he sounds like your man, please meet this handsome guy and see if it's a match!   MisterFrench is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 1/10 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8am-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.December 28, 2025, 2:23 pm

Story
Welcome Jazz to CCPAL Rescue. Jazz is a 4-year-old Airedale/Irish Terrier Mix dog. She weighs about 70 pounds and has the scruffy terrier coat. She is not a big shedder and is very friendly. Jazz had an elderly man owner. Her owner is now in hospice so CCPAL was asked to step up for his 3 dogs. Jazz had some loss of hair and is now a health and beautiful dog, thanks to good nutrition and some wonderful vet care. She pulls on leash but is eager to walk and really very social with people. She is picky with her dog friends but hasn’t met a human she doesn’t like. Her previous owner is not doing well and the only option is for all 3 of these dogs to find a new forever home. They are well behaved and have some commands under their belt. Jazz knows sit and is decent on a leash. We do think she is potty trained as she doesn’t go in her kennel. She is very attentive and naturally bonds well with men. She wants to do what you ask and can be an only or go with other dogs. She is a stronger willed than the boy named Jett. She is a wonderful dog. She has lived in a home with two large males and did great. She would be a great companion for someone wanting a active companion that is less of a shedding dog. She is currently in Texas at the CCPAL. She can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 400 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to cc https://youtu.be/TOc33vUHMc8palinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ✨🤣 Meet Yogi — The Energizer Comedy King of the Terrier World 🤣✨ (1 Year • 15lb Cairn Terrier • Professional Goofball) If you’ve been wishing for a dog who can double as your personal hype man, then allow us to present Yogi — a scruffy little firecracker with the comedic timing of a stand-up star and the zoomie skills of an Olympic athlete. At just 1 year old, Yogi is the perfect blend of young, smart, silly, and seriously entertaining. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t just enter a room… he burst-slides into it like he’s making a grand entrance on a late-night talk show. 💥 Yogi’s Talent Showcase Includes: • Knowing all the classics — sit, lie down, sit up (basically a tiny furry gymnast) • Walking beautifully on leash — even if he’d prefer taking the scenic route • Crate trained and sleeps well, though after spending most of his young life in one, he’d rather be out enjoying the good stuff • Great with other dogs — he loves having buddies for games, antics, and collaborative mischief • Bringing unmatched energy, humor, and a “let’s DO things!” attitude Yogi is a high-spirited, high-fun, high-everything kind of pup. He doesn’t want to sit on the sidelines — he wants to be right in the middle of the action, preferably wearing a metaphorical cape and cheering you on. Because he spent much of his early life crated, he’s making up for lost time now — and he would thrive with an active family, someone who works from home, or folks who are around often and ready to include him in the daily adventures. Hiking? Yes. Training games? Absolutely. Backyard shenanigans? Count him in. He’s affectionate, hilarious, wildly entertaining, and ready to bring joy, chaos, and companionship to a family of his very own. He's looking for his BooBoo....could that be YOU?!! If you’re looking for a little dog with big energy, big personality, and an even bigger heart… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Yogi is ready to join the fun and bring the laughs. 🐾✨
