My story

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

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

Hi! My name is Peach and I am settling in nicely after being with my foster family for a few weeks. I was scared of everyone to begin with, but have realized these people are going to be nice to me so now I have started to really come out of my shell and let my personality shine! I am still very scared when I meet new people, especially men, so I need time to feel comfortable and safe with new faces. I will bark and growl at first but this is because I'm so scared and I want to make sure new people understand I need my space.

I don't like being left alone, so a house with someone home most of the time would be best for me. My nose was a bit raw from rubbing it on the door of my kennel but it is nearly healed since I don't go in a crate much any more. I have been known to find things on the counter and believe that finders are keepers so I would suggest for everyone's sake that temptation is kept to a minimum.

I also REALLY like playing with the dog that lives here - he is showing me how to trust people, to sit for treats, to walk nicely on a leash and be part of a family. A house with a dog would help to keep me busy and tire me out as I still have some puppy energy even though I am 1.5 years old. When he is not willing to play, I can amuse myself with a toy - tennis balls are the BEST!

And the best place to sleep is close to the humans - in the same room for sure but next to you in bed is really where I want to be. I will snuggle up and snore quietly once I trust you.

I haven't had any accidents in the house since I got here. I like to spend some time outside in the yard with my family and get to go for 3-4 walks every day to practice my leash manners, and build up my confidence when I see new people.

Peach was found as a stray. 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.

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.
