My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.



*Bonded to Sheriff*

Meet Ranger. He is a bit more shy and timid than his sibling, Sheriff. Once he is caught and picked up, he will just sit and cuddle fine. Out of the two, he hides a bit more. He is chunkier and lazier, loving to eat and hide. Ranger will happily squeal the second he hears the food bag being touched or opened. His favorite spot is the tunnel, where he likes to be mostly out of sight at first. After having him for a week, he came out of his shell a bit, but he definitely loves his tunnel and isn’t a fan of sharing it, so I bought him a second one for himself.

It’s always funny to see the two boys next to each other because Ranger is quite the chunk compared to his brother. If he thinks food is coming, he pops out and comes to the side of the cage, takes it, and goes back into the tunnel. It’s so interesting to have two guinea pigs with completely different personalities. He’s been opening up to us day by day but is an introvert by nature. They balance each other out perfectly. I was surprised by how low-maintenance they are to keep. They have so much personality.

Here’s a sweet video of Ranger and Sheriff getting some pets.    Ranger and Sheriff are bonded so must be adopted together.

Ranger was 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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based rescue, meaning no animals are available at the Princeton, MN office for public viewing or adoption. All animals in our care reside in foster homes with few special exceptions for our adoption center animals, who are housed at our partnering facilities temporarily before adoption. To meet a Ruff Starter you may be interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application on our website.

More about this rescue

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit companion animal rescue that primarily serves communities throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as states in the south with severe pet overpopulation. We rescue stray, neglected, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats as well as ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other critters. Most of our work is accomplished by a complex network of volunteers, fosters, and supporters, all of whom come together to save thousands of animals each year.

Since our inception, we’ve firmly believed that a home is usually a far more desirable environment than a shelter or a kennel for most companion animals in need of a forever family. As a result, we rely nearly exclusively on volunteers to provide foster homes for rescued pets until they find their adoptive homes. Please note: this means no animals are available at our facility for public viewing.

Each pet in our care is provided with routine vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, microchipped, given internal and external parasite preventatives, and tested for common bloodborne pathogens such as heartworm and feline leukemia. Advanced veterinary care is provided to any animal that requires such services before adoption.

If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or volunteering, please fill out an applicable application at our website: www.ruffstartrescue.org.
