Story

Hi!! I'm Penny Jo, but some of my friends call me PJ. I'm a happy, silly girl that just wants love and attention from my person. I LOVE toys, balls, ropes, and bones. When I'm not playing with my toys, I like to take a good cozy nap. I love to go for walks and play outside. I know basic commands like sit, down, shake and ask (bark). Basically, I'm like really smart. I am a polite girl and do tend to have difficulty when others aren't as polite with their introductions. So, a slow controlled introduction with other dogs works best for me! Overall, I am an awesome dog that wants to please her person. I take correction very well, am VERY smart and would love to learn more tricks! Apply today to meet me!

Story

Maple had a rough start in life, but today she is healthy, thriving, and showing everyone just how special she is. Maple is a tender, affectionate puppy with a calm, easygoing temperament. She can be a little unsure when first meeting new people, but she warms up within minutes and quickly leans into affection. Once she feels safe, her nickname “Potato” makes perfect sense. She will flop onto her back for belly rubs and happily let you hold her, even though she is not exactly a tiny lap dog. She has a beautiful balance of playful and peaceful. Maple loves running around outside and playing with her brother and other dogs, then settling down for a cozy nap or snuggles. She is very attached to Timothee and they eat, sleep, and cuddle in the same crate and would like to have a dog sibling in her forever home. Maple does guard her food from her brother and will growl if he tries to take it while she is eating, but she does not show this behavior toward people or children. This has been easily solved by feeding them separately. Maple is doing well with her crate routine and is generally a quiet dog. She only barks occasionally during play or if other dogs are barking. She would thrive in a home that offers warm, consistent attention and likely another dog to play with. Maple is sweet, loving, and ready to bond deeply with a family who will give her the steady care she deserves. Maple is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/7/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am 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. ---- *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue.

Story

Timothee had a pretty rough start in life, but today he is healthy, happy, and full of personality. Timothee is a gentle, intelligent puppy who connects deeply with his people. He is wonderfully communicative and already lets his humans know when he needs to go outside while he is in his crate. He willingly goes into his crate, rides well in the car, and settles in comfortably. He enjoys water, fetch, toys, and playtime with other dogs. He is even politely curious about cats. He has a goofy side that shows when he runs around like a baby giraffe because of his long legs. He is affectionate and loving, yet also has an independent streak. Timothee is vocal, but only when he needs something. He will let you know when it is time to eat, go outside, or when he wants attention. Once his needs are met, he settles down. Timothee is very attached to his sister and loves playing with other dogs, so a home with a companion could be a great fit. He is going to be a large dog, and continued training will help him grow into a well-mannered adult. He would thrive in a home where someone is around often, ready to give him the attention, structure, and love he seeks. Timothee is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/7/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and noon.

Story

Meet Patrick! Patrick came in with his siblings. Patrick is a high-energy boy who needs enrichment and playtime to help keep his mind occupied. Patrick has met other dogs and older children and did well with them. He has not met cats, small animals or young children. Slow and proper introductions to resident pets and children are always recommended. Patrick is used to spending time in a kennel and he does well with it. He knows the cue "sit" but is more than excited to learn more tricks. Patrick is not used to walking on leashes so some training may be needed. Patrick would love to have durable toys to chew on and keep him entertained. Patient and consistent training using treats is a good way to work on obedience cues. Ask a TCHS staff about suggestions for the perfect toy for your new friend from the TCHS Re-Tail Shoppe. *Adoption holds may be placed on available animals in person or by calling (320) 252-0896. An adoption hold reserves available animals for one day after the animal is ready to be adopted. More than one adoption hold may be placed on an available animal and will be honored in the order they were received. Adoption holds are $25 plus tax, are non-refundable, non-transferable and not applied toward the adoption fee. **Minnesota sales tax and an administrative fee ($20 for cats/dogs and $10 for small animals) will be applied to all adoptions. Donations and adoption fees help cover the cost of spay/neuter surgeries, microchipping, vaccinating, deworming, any medical procedures, and general care of all shelter animals.

Story

Meet Carnation! She came in with her siblings. Carnation is a high-energy girl who needs enrichment and playtime to help keep her mind occupied. She's also an adorable people-pleaser who just wants to spend time with her favorite humans. Carnation has met other dogs and older children and did well around them. She has not met cats, small animals or young children. Her previous adopters said that she is an absolute sweetheart; she loves sleeping in bed with her people and spending every moment she can with them. She did have another large dog that she was with in the home and did really well. The previous adopters also said that she is a well-mannered lady, and she signals when she needs to go outside by alerting you at the door. She does love to collect her treats in piles or bury them, but she has not shown any aggression when it comes to her treat stash!
