Story
Meet Colt! Colt is a high-energy dog who would love a very active home - a job would be even better! We think he would make a perfect addition to some farms because he likes to stay busy. He spent a few weeks in a foster home (in an apartment), and his foster reported he did very well! "He is really calm when I work from home and doesn’t bother me. He doesn’t get into anything, and he is 100 percent potty trained." Colt also learned not to pull on his leash. "It took him like a day to learn how to loose leash walk. I take him on runs, and he knows how to match my pace." Colt is a fast learner and already knows sit, down, and crate. Colt loves fetch and tug-of-war, but he's equally happy to snuggle in someone's lap. He is a super sweet dog, with two catches - he does not like being around small children OR cats. His foster said that he barks when he sees kids. He is very friendly with new people although he does bark a bit at first. *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.

Story
Loyal and affectionate with his family. Very intelligent and knows many commands. He enjoys having a job to do and learns quickly. Protective of his home and people, and can be wary of strangers. He does best with slow introductions and visitors who ignore him initially. Once he gets to know someone, he is much more comfortable. He would thrive with an experienced dog owner who understands herding breeds and reactive behavior. He has a bite history involving an unfamiliar person who approached and reached toward him, so careful management around new people is important.

Story
Hi, I'm Lincoln! I'm a fun loving puppy looking for a family that's ready to enjoy all the excitement that comes with raising a youngster like me. I'm playful, curious, and always eager to learn. Whether we're exploring the backyard, practicing new tricks, or cuddling up after a busy day, I'm happiest when I'm with my people. Since I'm still a puppy, I'm learning all the important stuff like potty training, basic commands, crate training, and walking nicely on a leash. What did you expect? I'm a puppy after all! I'll need a family that's patient, consistent, and ready to help me build confidence through lots of positive experiences and socialization. I can be a little vocal when I'm playing, and my whole body wags with my tail when I'm happy. It's pretty adorable, if I do say so myself! My favorite things are food and snuggles, and I might just try to hog all the cuddles for myself. I think I'm the jealous type, but I promise it's only because I love being close to my people. I've spent time with kids over 10 and have done well. I haven't met any cats yet, but my friends think I could do well with a proper introduction. If you're ready for puppy adventures, lots of laughs, and a lifetime of love, I can't wait to meet you! Lincoln is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 7/11/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am 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. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. 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. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*

Story
Samuel is a gorgeous, happy-go-lucky boy who's looking for his next adventure. He’s friendly, affectionate, and loves being with his people. Sam gets along great with other dogs, though he's a little more timid around larger bully breeds. He’s a rock star player, whether it’s tug-of-war, chasing other pups around the yard, or showing off his goofy wrestling moves, he knows how to have fun. Sam is also a big fan of toys, especially chew toys. To round it all out, he enjoys car rides, and is leash and crate trained! Total package <3 One of his favorite pastimes is quietly sitting and watching squirrels—he could happily spend hours keeping an eye on them. Sam would do well with just about any household, whether you are active and outdoorsy, or more of a couch potato, he will fit well everywhere. Samuel's journey hasn't been easy. He was found in Texas suffering from mange, covered in ticks and fleas, and severely underweight. With lots of care, he's well on his way back to health and is ready to find the loving home he's always deserved. Samuel is from Texas.

Story
Hi, I'm Lori! I'm a happy little puppy who thinks everyone I meet is my new best friend! I love to eat, play, and spend time with my people. I had so much fun playing with the 11 year old in my previous foster's home, so I'd be happy in a home with kids too. I'm affectionate, playful, and sometimes a little vocal when I'm having fun. I'm just expressing myself! I can also be a bit of a chewer, but that's pretty normal for a puppy, and with guidance I'll learn what's okay to chew. Since I'm still young, I'm learning all the important puppy things like potty training, crate training, walking on a leash, and basic obedience. After all, I'm just a puppy! I'll need a family that's ready to spend time on training, socialization, and helping me explore the world with patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement. I'll need plenty of exercise, fun toys, and opportunities to learn, but I have everything it takes to grow into a loving, well-mannered companion. If you're looking for a sweet, playful best friend, I think we could be the perfect match! Lori is from Texas.
