Story

Roger is in need of a loving home or at the very least, respite care until May! My mother took him in after his owner was incarcerated and he’s too big and strong for her to handle. I offered to take him in but he didn’t get along with my slightly smaller dog that likes to be in charge. He’s somewhere 10-11ish years old. He’ll lean his whole body against you, tail wagging, with the biggest smile on his face in hopes you’ll give him all the pets and snuggles.

Story

Location: Minneapolis, MN If you are looking for a pup with a lot of love and a lot of wiggles, Jillian is your girl. With big, beautiful amber eyes, Jillian’s personality easily shines through. While she is a huge sweetheart, she does need continued boundary work as she thinks the best way to let others know she loves them and wants to play is to get right up into their personal space! Fortunately, she is a little smarty pants and is picking up on cues and commands very quickly. Jillian is also continuing to improve with crate training even if she will default to a dramatic puppy flop before walking into the crate willingly. Her progress is best with the help of treats as bribes! We have learned that when crated, she does a lot better in a high-traffic area as she seems to relax when she is able to see what is going on around her. She does cry a bit when crated, but only because she has a serious case of FOMO, but appears to be calming more quickly as time goes on. While Jillian has not been left alone for long periods of time in the house, during the short bouts, she has done really well and usually is just lounging on the sofa. Jillian is primarily potty-trained but sometimes seems to “forget” she can’t just pee wherever is most convenient; with that being said, accidents are becoming more and more uncommon. She does very well with potty prompts and will wait for someone to accompany her when she needs to pee outside but doesn’t hesitate to explore once she is there. Since we are still gauging her overall reactiveness and recall, we always keep an eye on her in the backyard even though it is fenced in. Jillian has a lot of energy, is outgoing, and loves to play with both four-legged friends and humans. She does have a high prey-drive and would do best in a house that does not have any other pets aside from dogs. Jillian is also taking several walks a day to work on her leash skills and catching on really quickly - we are learning to “leave it”, “wait”, and “eyes” (when needing her attention); she tends to crowd and pull on the leash so we are also working on side by side walking and pressure commands with the leash. With patience and consistency, she will no doubt continue to improve. Most days, Jillian will be out playing in the backyard with her foster brother Meeka, a husky, taking walks through the neighborhood, playing with her squeak toys, getting all the pets, and curled up on the couch or dog bed taking a nap. In just a short amount of time, Jillian has learned both the verbal and nonverbal signals for “sit”, “wait”, “hands in”, and “lie down”. While we haven’t done tons of car rides, she seems very interested in hopping in whenever the car door is open. She is eager to learn and very treat-motivated! Jillian is a sweet, playful, and loyal pup who is looking for a loving, active family to grow with. If you are ready for a lively spirit, funny personality, and unconditional companionship - Jilly Bean will be a great fit! --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org). Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration). Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Ellie, a true ray of sunshine who arrived from St. Paul Animal Control and instantly charmed her foster family! This goofy, happy girl is a master of fitting in and will quickly become your most devoted shadow, following you everywhere with a wagging tail. She's a people-dog through and through, even happily "froggy-style" lounging on the kitchen floor while you cook. Ellie is a dream dog in so many ways. She's completely potty-trained, going quickly when taken outside. She's also a kennel pro, voluntarily heading in when it's time – and quietly waiting until you wake up! Her mornings are filled with play, followed by a cozy kennel nap until noon. Evenings transform her into the ultimate couch potato, usually snoozing peacefully by 9 PM and heading to her kennel for a quiet night's sleep. Ellie's obsession with stuffed toys is both adorable and entertaining – prepare for "snow" if you let her indulge! She loves to chase them if you throw them, though don't expect a return trip. She inhales her food with gusto, knows "sit," and walks well on a leash. This affectionate girl wants to be in your space at all times, happily snuggling on your lap or next to you on the couch. Her most endearing quirk? Her beloved blanket! She carries it around, sucks on it like a pacifier, and makes adorable "biscuits" with her paws, like a happy puppy or kitten. If her foster family could keep another large dog, Ellie would be theirs in a heartbeat. Could this sweet, blanket-obsessed snuggle bug be the missing piece in your family? Ellie Belly is from a local impound. 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.
