Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Laikia! Laikia (who answers best to Laika) is an energetic and affectionate Aussie/Collie mix with a soft, medium coat and the brightest blue eyes! This playful pup is a bundle of joy wrapped in a cuddly, goofy package. She fills every day with laughter, showcasing her smarts and boundless energy. Always curious, Laika loves to explore and learn new tricks—especially when treats are involved! When Laika first came into foster care, she was nervous and protective. With patience, gentle reassurance, and plenty of treats, she’s blossomed into a loyal companion who loves curling up at your feet for naps and always pops back for attention throughout the day. Her sweet and snuggly side shines once she feels comfortable. Laika thrives on activity and playtime- chewing and chasing squeaky toys, playing fetch, and romping around with our resident dog, Ellie. Laika's herding instincts mean she can play a little rough, so slow introductions to new dogs and people are important. She is still learning how to manage her big feelings when meeting new people and dogs, and can be reactive and vocal at first. Because of this, Laika needs a patient, experienced family committed to positive reinforcement training and helping her build confidence. With consistency and love, she will continue to grow into the amazing companion she’s meant to be. Laika knows basic commands, responds to her name, and is very food-motivated- making her eager to learn more. She is fully potty trained, and with continued guidance, Laika will excel in any home that offers structure and care. If you’re looking for a smart, loyal, and affectionate dog who will bring endless fun and love to your life—and you’re ready to help her feel safe and thrive—adopt Laika and discover the joy of having this bright-eyed beauty by your side! Laikia 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. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* 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 22, 2025, 8:56 pm

Story
History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own! A Note from the Foster: Sweetie lives up to her name. She is full of love and ready to find her forever home. She’s got a beautiful white coat and is working on finding the right ways to show her abundance of love and happiness. Sweetie thinks she’s a lap dog and loves to lounge on the futon or the couch while snuggling her person. At 20 months she still has some puppy energy in her and burns that off playing chase with the resident dog in the backyard. Sweetie gets along well with other dogs about her same size. She doesn’t quite understand personal space and that she’s a bit bigger. She would be good as an only dog or with a sidekick to show her the ropes. Sweetie might be a bit much with younger kids but good for older kids that are active and love to play outside. Sweetie does have limited vision however she has adapted well to her foster home without accommodation. She does fine getting around without assistance and does the stairs without issues. Sweetie is still working on learning to take walks on a leash. Her vision and lack of confidence comes out. A fenced yard would be great for Sweetie. Her foster mom says Sweetie loves to run laps around the leaf piles in the backyard and has become comfortable navigating the yard on her own. Sweetie really is a sweetheart trying to live her best life. She loves to give licks and nose boops. Sweetie loves to carry her toys around the house and an occasional shoe or 2 have been found in her bed.

History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own! A Note from the Foster: Andri (or as we call her, Lady) is the sweetest, shyest girl with the softest soul. She loves people but greets new faces timidly, often making herself small and rolling onto her back to show her belly as a way of politely saying hello. While this isn’t always an invitation for belly rubs at first, once she’s comfortable, she truly enjoys them. She has the cutest little cow-spotted belly and is quite possibly the softest dog you’ll ever meet. Andri did wonderfully at her grooming appointment and handled it like a champ. She absolutely loves being outside, even on cold and blustery days. She does great on walks and is gaining confidence every time she heads out. While she appreciates having her own space and some quiet alone time, she will seek out affection when she’s in the mood. She’s still learning the art of snuggling, but she’s making progress. She’s also starting to get the littlest bouts of zoomies! It’s so cute watching her playful side come out of its shell. One of Andri’s most endearing traits is her love for TV! Her adorable head tilts are a hoot! She has done very well with free roam of the house while her fosters are at work, with no accidents. Previous fosters shared that she was comfortable in a crate, though she hasn’t shown much interest in one recently and has done well without it. Andri is currently carrying a little extra weight, so a consistent diet and daily walks will be important to help her reach her healthiest self. In the past, Andri lived with other dogs and was reported to get a bit uncomfortable when dogs roughhoused too close to her crate. She is currently living as the only pet in the home. Her compatibility with cats is unknown. Andri would do best in a calm household with no kids or a home with older kids who understand and respect her boundaries. She truly enjoys peace, quiet, and having a bit of space to feel safe and secure. Andri is a gentle, thoughtful girl who will blossom beautifully in a patient, loving home that appreciates her calm nature and kind heart.
