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 Aimee! This gentle girl may be a little cautious at first, but with a little patience (and a treat or two), she’ll be warming up to you before you know it. Since leaving the shelter, Aimee has become so much more relaxed, and her loving, loyal nature truly shines. Within an hour of meeting someone new, she’ll be right by your side, nudging for attention and happy to cozy up next to you.

Aimee is kennel trained, gets along well with other dogs, and would be a great fit for a multi-pet household. She’s also wonderful with kids, especially those over 10, as her excitement sometimes leads to playful jumping. She adores soft stuffed animals to chew on and may let out a little howl when she’s extra happy.

Aimee enjoys a few walks each day, and she’s always excited to go outside and explore. Check out this cute video of her sitting for a treat. With just a little time and love, she’ll bring joy, companionship, and that special kind of loyalty only a dog like Aimee can offer.


Aimee is from a local shelter. 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.

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.
