Story
Meet  King , a sweet and mellow 9-year-old Pitbull with a heart as big as his love for belly rubs, car rides, and—above all— food  (nothing gets him more excited!). Despite being blind, King navigates his world with impressive ease and confidence, even tackling stairs like a pro. He's fully potty trained, great with other dogs, adores older children, and has never shown food aggression—he’s just a gentle, snuggly soul. Though he's not a fan of crates, King is happiest lounging on the couch or snuggling up next to you, soaking in all the love. If you're looking for a calm, loving companion who will be your biggest fan (especially if treats are involved),  King is ready to rule your heart!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Star … this goofy little sweetheart — the pint-sized clown who’s guaranteed to make you laugh every single day! She’s got the silliest, most lovable personality. Her tiny legs move at lightning speed when she gets the zoomies (and oh boy, does she love her zoomies). When she’s not sprinting around the yard or rolling in the cool grass, she’s probably snoring like a tiny freight train during her nap — she’s a total snorer! Her adorable tongue hangs out of the side of her mouth thanks to her slightly off-center jaw, which only adds to her irresistible charm. And those big blue eyes? Always watching to see if you’re paying attention to her antics! She gets so excited to meet new people — she just wants love from everyone and can hardly contain her joy. We’re working on her jumping because sometimes her heart gets ahead of her manners, but it’s all out of pure happiness. She’s been through some tough times, and you can tell she’s ready for the good life she truly deserves. She did okay during her dog test at animal control but after being with us in foster care for a few weeks, she seems very selective.  Might be best if she’s the only dog.  Cats are a hard no … and because of her personality, kids who are older and respectful of her antics. Her goofy personality shines in everything she does — from the way she plays with her toys to her little “derpy” grin. The lady at animal control said if she had her own soundtrack, it would be the sound of a tuba as she walks — and honestly, that’s pretty spot-on! This silly, snuggly, tongue-out, tail-wagging girl is ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and plenty of zoomies! Star is from a local shelter. 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.November 17, 2025, 10:30 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Prince is a sweet, easygoing boy who loves his walks and outdoor time. He’s a smart pup who already knows sit, lay down, and place, and he’s always eager to please. Prince does well in a kennel but can also relax in a room on his own—just be sure to keep food out of reach, since he’s got a bit of a scavenger streak! He walks nicely on a leash most of the time and doesn’t react negatively to other dogs while out and about. However, he can struggle to read social cues in a home setting, so he would do best as an only dog with controlled interactions outside of the home.  He has also been around cats and could coexist with slow intros.   Prince isn’t overly high-energy but really enjoys having a yard to sprint around in—he’s lightning-fast when the zoomies hit! His favorite toy is a ball, and he’ll happily play fetch or just carry it around proudly. Take a look at this video and this video and this cute video of sweet Pri nce. Prince is a loving, well-mannered companion who’s ready to bring joy and fun to his forever home. Prince is from a local shelter.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Anders is a fun loving very high energy pup who would play all day if he could! He is deaf, so we have taught him the sign “look” to get his attention and he will purposefully not “look” at us when he knows he has done something naughty.  He is so smart and we are currently working on teaching him ASL and getting him fully potty trained (he is almost there!). He would do best in a home with another younger dog or someone to keep him entertained as he can get into some mischief if left to his own devices or when doing something he doesn't want to do. Once he is tired out he is a snuggle bug who wants to be right in your lap, giving lots of kisses. Click here to see a video of Anders on a walk! Anders is from a local impound.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Venus, the sweetest girl you'll ever encounter! This lovable snuggle-bug is a true survivor, deserving of a patient, kind human who will shower her with the love and safety she craves after a difficult past. Venus is a professional cuddler, always eager to be by your side, whether it's resting her snout on your face after a gentle lean-in kiss, or cozying up at your feet while you work. Her nights are spent soundly in her crate, and mornings are for shared bed snuggles. She's a pro at crate-time when you're away, but honestly, she’d much rather be with you. This playful pup has an adorable "bunny hop" when she runs, and loves a good game of fetch and "running zombie" in the yard. She’s also quite the independent player with her stuffed toys. While her heart is pure gold, she does have some quirks: a little counter-surfing, an enthusiastic leash pull, and being a bit mouthy and rough during play – both with humans and canine pals. These are small habits that, with a loving and understanding hand, can surely be managed. Venus eats from a snuffle mat, enjoys two walks daily, and her devotion is unwavering. If you're ready to open your heart to a loyal companion who will adore you unconditionally and thrive with gentle guidance, Venus is waiting for her forever home! Venus is from a local impound.
