My story

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

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

Hello, my name is Lemon and I am the bestest girl ever! I have had a really "ruff" go of it over the last few months, so I am searching for a family who can give me time and grace to show them just how amazing I am. I love cuddles and jumping on your lap and playing with toys! I look like a cow with my black and white markings and I have the typical pittie body of being made of muscle. I have very soft fur that is short and silky.

I do really well in my kennel while you are away, but as it is my safe place, I don't like other animals going near it, especially when I am eating. I was sadly attacked by another dog and so I am still learning that I can be friends with other dogs again, so I would prefer to be the only dog in my home for now. I am learning and with training and proper socialization my foster family thinks I can have dog buddies again one day. I am slowly making friends with my foster sisters here, but it takes time. I am very respectful of the cat here however, so a cat buddy or two would be ok for now. I really like kids and recently got to meet a bunch of them at a hockey game I got to be the guest of honor at! I know that it will take time and patience to help me be the best I can be, but I promise I am worth it.

Will you give me the chance I need?

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.
