Story
Cece is mellow when inside and spends most of the day happily curled up in her dog bed. She will entertain herself with squeaky toys or chew on a bone if she gets bored. However, her silly and playful side comes out when she goes outside! She loves to race around the backyard and play fetch with a tennis ball. She will toss the ball in the air and will even roll it down the hill so she can chase it. And if you have any squirrels or rabbits in your yard, Cece will send them packing! She’s both smart and athletic and will likely excel at agility, frisbee or any sport. Cece walks great on a leash and is going on daily walks, weather permitting. She responds well to praise and is treat-motivated so training her should be a breeze. She plays great with her foster family’s 40 pound resident dog. She hasn’t met any kids yet since being in her foster home but she would likely do well with older children. Cece has not had any accidents in her foster house and does all her business outside. She sleeps through the night and has been very quiet. She also rides well in the car without making a peep. This sweet girl will be a loving companion to a very lucky forever family! Cece is estimated to be 2 years old and 25 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting. We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events! Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event.

Story

She soaks up attention, and is ready to learn how to be the best dog she can be! Vixen enjoys playtime and has a special love for water, she also does great in the car, making her an excellent candidate for adventures or trips with her future family. She comes from a litter of eight born to a stray in Texas and has been growing in confidence as she explores the world. One thing to note: Vixen is afraid of cats, she is a puppy and may outgrow this, however be prepared to separate if you have a cat, and know time will need to be given to allow her to acclimate. She is gentle by nature and thrives in an environment where she feels safe and supported. With her affectionate personality, calm play style, and easygoing travel manners, Vixen will make a loving and loyal addition to the right home. Vixen is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 1/10 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8am-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.

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. 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.December 29, 2025, 10:22 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Cobre is a sweet and chill boy who loves being outside and running around the yard. He especially enjoys having his ears and neck scratched. At first he was very shy, but being around other dogs has already helped him come out of his shell so he'll need a confident companion dog in his adoptive home. He still has some skittish moments and is not fully potty trained, but he has shown quick improvement in just a short time and will likely continue to gain confidence with patience and consistency. Cobre came from a group of four abandoned puppies and is still  learning what it means to feel safe and loved. He makes his foster mom laugh by climbing into the water bowl to splash around. The only time he fusses is for a few minutes at night when first kenneled, and then he settles down. Cobre will thrive with a patient adopter who can give him time to adjust and a calm environment where he can feel secure as he blossoms into the wonderful companion he is meant to be. Cobre is from Texas.  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.
