My story

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

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



*Bonded to Butterscotch*

Leighlee and Butterscotch are a bonded pair who share a special connection. They are often found cuddling and grooming each other, showcasing their close relationship. Leighlee, the one with a more brown coloring, is the more curious and adventurous of the two. She is usually the first to explore new enrichment activities in their foster home. Both are incredibly gentle and adore head scritches behind the ears. Together, they are seeking a loving home where they can be pampered and enjoy a safe, cozy environment to explore at their own pace.

In their previous home, Leighlee and Butterscotch had a dedicated free-roaming space with a small play area. When their owners moved across the country, they decided to find a new home where this sweet pair could thrive. While they are still settling into their foster environment, they have adjusted remarkably well. Though sensitive to quick movements, they are curious about the resident cats and dogs, suggesting they might enjoy a calm pet companion or two.

If you're looking for gentle, curious, and affectionate companions, Leighlee and Butterscotch could be the perfect addition to your family. With patience and love, they will reward you with affection, joyful binkies, and countless happy moments.

Apply today to see if this adorable duo is the right fit for your home!

Leighlee is 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.

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.
