My story

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

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



This head-turner is Winnie, a one-year old Bluetick Coonhound who is looking for someone to give her heart to. She is sweet, curious, smart, affectionate, and goofy. Her favorite things are tennis balls, walks, food, treats, hooves to chew , playing in the yard, and cuddles.

 

Winnie is a lover. She's never happier than when she's curled up in a ball and pressed up against her favorite human. She will give all the kisses you will accept from her. She especially enjoys curling up next to someone in bed at night.
 
Winnie is a goofy clown who is very smart and treat motivated. She kicks around her favorite tennis ball and then chases after it. If it rolls under the furniture, she will sit next to where it was last seen and bay until someone comes and rescues it. Because she is treat motivated she has been a quick study with the new behaviors we are trying to teach her!
 
Winnie has a gorgeous, soft coat, soft brown eyes, and long dangly ears.  She also has a slight  underbite which makes her look like she's pouting. One of her most striking features is a white streak on the top of her head that looks either like a fox or an eagle wingspan depending on how you look at it.
 
Winnie is a sweet, smart, beautiful, joyful, affectionate girl who is looking for someone to dedicate her heart to. She will require some patient training, but that investment will be returned tenfold with love and loyalty. Are you her person?
 
Winnie the Wonderhound is from an 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.
