Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Domino is a total showstopper with a fun, goofy personality to match her good looks. She’s one of those dogs who makes you smile without even trying. Playful, silly, and full of charm, Domino enjoys her active moments just as much as her downtime, happily switching between bursts of energy and relaxed hangout time. She’s friendly with everyone she meets — kids, adults, and other dogs of all sizes — and approaches life with an easygoing, happy attitude. Domino loves toys, enjoys playtime, and shows off her goofy side in the funniest ways. One of her favorite habits is falling asleep flat on her back with her head propped against the wall at a perfect ninety-degree angle, which pretty much sums up her quirky charm. Domino is still learning the ropes and will need continued potty training and basic obedience, but she’s intelligent and eager to engage, making training a great bonding opportunity. She thrives with patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement. She’s vocal in a playful way when she’s having fun, but it’s more happy chatter than barking. She’s been around other dogs and does well, and while she hasn’t been tested with cats yet, she adapts well to new situations given a little time. Domino came into care needing some medical support for sniffles and parasites, which have been addressed, and she’s ready to focus on the good life now. Domino is looking for a loving home that will enjoy her playful spirit, laugh at her silly sleeping positions, and help guide her as she continues learning. With love, patience, and a little training, she’s going to be an amazing companion! Domino is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 2/7/2026 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. 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. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* 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.
