My story

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

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



Meet Bobby, the scruffy bundle of joy with boundless puppy energy and a heart full of love. This little guy is good with everyone he meets—kids, adults, and other dogs—but we’re not sure about cats since he hasn’t been around any yet.

Bobby is young, full of that classic playful spirit, and always ready for a game of fetch or a wrestling match with his doggy friends. He’s super sweet and loves being pet, held, and cuddled. Despite his playful nature, Bobby is also a bit of a toy thief, sneaking off with his foster brother’s toys when he thinks no one’s watching. It’s all in good fun, though—Bobby is as submissive as they come and just loves to play.

He’s doing great with potty training, thanks to a consistent schedule and belly bands, and he’s a champ in his crate overnight. During the day, he hangs out in an exercise pen with his foster brother, taking regular breaks for potty time and playtime outside. Bobby’s got a healthy appetite, with breakfast around 7-8 am and dinner around 6-7 pm, followed by more play and snuggles before bedtime.

Bobby’s a bit of a chatterbox when he  hears dogs barking or sees other animals like squirrels, ducks, or other moving things catch his eye. But with a little redirection, he’s easy to calm down. His high-pitched bark might sound alarming, but don’t worry—Bobby has zero aggression.

This amazing little guy would thrive in a home with kids or another dog to help burn off his puppy energy. Whether he’s playing, snuggling, or just hanging out by the window, Bobby is ready to bring joy and laughter to his forever family.

 

Bobby is from Texas.

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.
