Story

Jackson - 2017 Edition of Australian Shepherd blended with Blue Heeler Fine Print: All dogs of NWMNAR are screened at the headquarters in Ada, Mn until they are vetted.

Adoption fee for a dog over 3 years of age is $300 + Mn tax., pup/dog1 year to 3 years is $400 + Mn tax. Under 1 year of age $500 + Mn tax. Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NMA/Dog.

Meet and greets will take place in a public setting along with the adoption if compatible.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Goliath is one of the most striking dogs we’ve ever met in person. His shiny coat, unique coloring, and those two mesmerizing blue eyes make him an absolute showstopper—and he gets nonstop compliments wherever he goes. But Goliath isn’t just a pretty face; he genuinely lives to be a good boy, please his humans, and do the right thing. He’s incredibly intelligent, highly tuned into people’s emotions and intentions, and picks up on routines and training remarkably quickly. With his smarts come both advantages and challenges: he is extremely trainable and eager to please, but he can also be a bit high-strung compared to other dogs his age. He has no naughty bone in his body, but without proper outlets for his energy and brainpower, he can become restless, showing behaviors like excessive licking, scratching, or whining. With consistent exercise, outdoor time, and a structured routine with clear boundaries, Goliath absolutely thrives. He doesn’t require any special medications or kenneling, and his previous nervous behaviors are completely resolved. That said, he does best in a home that offers both high levels of physical activity and mental engagement, along with consistent leadership and structure to help him feel calm and secure during downtime. Goliath is incredibly well-rounded and trustworthy. He does beautifully with people, other animals, and new situations. He kennels perfectly, rides well in the car, can be left home alone for extended periods, walks politely on leash (especially with a gentle leader), and is 100% potty trained. He knows basic commands—come, sit, down, stay—and listens reliably. Goliath is from an Owner Surrender. 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.

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.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Cobre! Cobre is a Corgi/Cattle Dog mix who made his way up from Texas in September 2025 and is slowly learning that life can be pretty good. He is a very shy and skittish boy when meeting new people, so patience and a gentle approach are essential. While he may never be the life of the party, Cobre is deeply content with the people he knows and trusts, and once you’re in his circle, his loyalty truly shines. Cobre is fully crate trained and happily sleeps in his kennel at night and relaxes there when his foster mom is away. He’s also fully potty trained and does great living with other animals—he currently shares his home with another dog, two cats, and even a duck! He especially adores his foster dog sister and follows her everywhere. While another dog isn’t required in his future home, having a canine buddy could help him feel more confident as he settles in. He is gentle and playful with the cats, enjoys carrying toys around (and enthusiastically “deconstructing” them), and loves spending time outdoors running and playing in the yard when the weather is nice. Cobre enjoys going for walks and rides very well in the car, though he can get a bit carsick at times. Like many smart, curious pups, Cobre is still working on his basic manners. He’s treat-motivated, sits nicely for snacks, and learns quickly, which will make continued training a rewarding experience. He does need supervision, as he may chew on items like shoes or blankets if left unattended—and he’s a bit of a counter surfer, so food should stay safely out of reach. At the end of the day, Cobre enjoys wandering, playing, and then settling in on the couch when it’s time to relax. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to join you on peaceful walks and quiet cuddle sessions, Cobre might just be your perfect companion.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Kentucky’s a gentle, quiet boy who had a rough start. As a result, he is timid with new people still but he is learning that humans can be friends. He really shines when he has a doggy best friend with him to give him a boost of confidence! He loves walks and would enjoy living with an active person or a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play! His favorite part of day is outside time. He would never come back in if he had the choice. It often looks like he is smiling as he is laying in the grass. He’s got a little curly tail that pops up when he’s feeling good, and it’s a small sign that he’s getting there. Kentucky doesn’t need much—just time, kindness, and a calm home. Kentucky is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story

Location: Minneapolis, MN Baxter is an incredibly sweet dog with a heart of gold. He’s gentle, friendly, and absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Playtime is one of his favorite things—whether he’s romping around outside, chasing his buddies, or enjoying a one-on-one game, Baxter is always up for fun. He already knows his basic commands and is learning more every day. He thrives in a group of dogs but does just as well with a single companion. Baxter truly enjoys having another dog around, so he would do best in a home where he has a furry friend to keep him company. Affectionate and loyal, Baxter is looking for his forever family—one that will give him the love, companionship, and joyful life he deserves. He’s such a good boy, and anyone would be lucky to have him. --------------- 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.
