My story

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

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



Say hello to Solomon! He is a loyal companion with a happy-go-lucky spirit and a few quirks that make him all the more endearing. Solomon has settled into a nice routine where he enjoys his walks. He’s not overly playful with other dogs, preferring to coexist peacefully, but he’s got a playful side that comes out when it’s just him, a tennis ball, and a patch of grass to roll around in.

In the mornings, Solomon is quick to start his day, heading outside with his dog foster sibling for a potty break before coming back in for breakfast. He’s not one to spend long hours in his kennel, as he mostly sleeps or entertains himself in the house with his toys while his human works from home. By evening, he’s ready for dinner and some quality time snuggling up in bed, enjoying a good TV show.

Solomon’s got some unique habits that make him special. When he’s in the mood for pets, he’ll wrap his long arms around your wrist—just his way of saying he’s ready for some affection. He loves looking out the car window, giving chin licks, and laying his head on your chest while sitting on the couch. When he’s excited, you’ll find him rolling around in the grass with pure joy. And when he’s tired, he’ll tuck himself into his kennel for the night, where he feels safe and comfortable.

Solomon is a great committed companion. He’s adaptable, and would do well either as the only dog or with a small, calm canine friend. A home with an older couple who’s around a lot might be just the right fit for this sweet, quirky boy! 

He has not been introduced to children or cats, young children may not be a great fit for him as he can get nervous around sudden movements and loud noises. 

Solomon was diagnosed with heart failure due to a past heartworm infection, because of this he takes daily medication to reduce fluid buildup and help him stay comfortable. 

Solomon  is from Texas.

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.
