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 Bailee, a quiet and gentle soul who is slowly adjusting to her new life after her reservation transport journey. This sweet girl has a heart full of potential and is patiently waiting for a home that will give her the time and love she needs to fully bloom. You can see the affection she’s ready to share reflected in her soulful, round eyes.  She is a very chill dog who naps under my desk at work all day.  Look at this sweet video of Bailee!

Bailee loves observing the world from her favorite spot by the window and sleeps soundly through the night on her cozy cot, with no accidents. She’s a tidy pup, keeping her crate clean about 90% of the time—a huge accomplishment as she decompresses and adapts to her new surroundings. Bailee gets adorably wiggly with joy when you come home, though she’s still learning to trust and prefers to approach you at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she’ll sit close, soaking in gentle pets, before heading off to her cot for a peaceful nap.

With her soft, multi-shaded brown coat and her love of treats and doggie ice cream, Bailee is truly one of a kind. Check out this sweet video of Bailee enjoying a treat!  She thrives in calm environments, so a home with kids over 10 would suit her best, as quick movements can still make her a bit nervous. She is good with dogs too as long as the dogs respect her cues and gives her space when she needs it. She would do best in a home with another confident, respectful dog in the home to help show her the ropes. She is great with cats-totally uninterested in them! As she continues to settle, her confidence and personality are sure to shine even brighter.

Bailee’s quiet wiggle, sweet demeanor, and unique beauty make her a truly special companion. Are you ready to give her the patience and love she needs to flourish?

Bailee is from a local reservation. 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.
