My story

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

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



Amara, also known as Mama, is an absolute sweetheart who loves to be close by. When she's separated, she can get a bit vocal, but that's just her way of showing how much she loves company. She's a pro at playing fetch with her ball and knows basic commands, showing how obedient and eager to please she is. Click here and here for some cute videos of her playing! With her quick learning skills, she's bound to pick up even more. Amara enjoys walks and loves to sniff everything along the way. While she pulls on the leash and barks at other dogs, she responds well to redirection. She’s known to be playful with other dogs but tends to bark at them first. In her previous home, she lived with two other dogs and was trusted to free roam when her owner was out. Amara has been great with everyone she’s met, and while she hasn’t interacted with children yet, her sweet nature suggests she’d do wonderfully with them too.

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.

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.
