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 Amara! Also known as Mama, Amara is a gorgeous and affectionate sweetheart who loves being near her people. She’s happiest by your side, keeping you company as she relaxes on the couch or curls up at your feet. While not a lapdog, she’s full of love, affection, and plenty of kisses to share! Amara thrives in a home where her humans spend lots of time with her and are ready to give her the exercise and mental stimulation she enjoys.

This clever girl is a fetch champion (here is video proof) and has even mastered basic commands, proving she’s eager to please and quick to learn. Here is another video of her playing with a ball. She’s made great progress walking politely on a leash, sitting at intersections during walks, and responding well to redirection. Amara also loves running and exploring new sights and smells, making her an ideal companion for an active household. She’s motivated by praise and affection, with a playful, loving energy that makes her a joy to be around.

Amara has lived with other dogs before and has shown she can co-exist with proper introductions and patience. She’s currently working on meeting new dogs and is already making strides in her foster home. While she’d love being the center of attention as the only pet, she could potentially live with another dog in the right environment. Amara isn’t a fan of cats and hasn’t yet met children, but her sweet and gentle nature suggests she’d do well with kiddos.

Amara does have some separation anxiety and can be vocal if she knows her people are close but out of reach. However, she’s perfectly well-behaved when left to free roam while you’re out and doesn’t engage in any destructive behaviors. With regular exercise, clear boundaries, and lots of love, she’s sure to continue building her confidence and adjusting to new situations.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and active companion, Amara is ready to meet you and show off her endless charm and sweet personality!

Amara is from 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.
