My story

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

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

Masha is from Texas. Masha is leash and crate trained. She sleeps soundly through the night in her kennel, as well as taking all of her meals and high value treats there. feeding her separately in her kennel is a must for Miss Masha, as she has a little resource guarding around food with other animals. Mash is not 100% potty trained, but is working on it with her texan foster every day. The ket to potty training a dog is consistency. They will eat/drink and about 30-45 minutes later it's potty time folks. giving them adequate outside time (and sometimes a little privacy.. lol) are the keys to successfully potty training any pup. Masha is also an escape artist, so extra precautions need to be taken to make sure she is safe all the time. Having a barrier between her and the front/back doors is a big one. Double leashing is also a very good idea. Masha is just looking for a loving home with patient humans that are willing to let her blossom into the wonderful pup we know she is. If you think you've got the perfect home for this sweet girl, please fill out an adoption application today.

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.

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.
