Story
Kramer is a 2 year old Newfypoo (Newfoundland/Poodle mix) who was surrendered to rescue when his owner could no longer care for themselves.  This was a big adjustment for him, understandably, but he has been doing well in his foster home. He seems to be very unhappy when crated.  So, we are using a larger indoor kennel for now, when we need to leave for short periods.  When we are home, we allow him free roam of the house, and he has been sleeping on the floor of our bedroom at night with no issues.  He is fully housetrained and has excellent housemanners.  He knows not to jump on furniture, does not jump up on countertops and hasn’t played with or chewed on inappropriate objects.  In fact, so far the only negative behavior we’ve seen from him is what seems to be an anxiety thing – always wanting to be near his people throughout the day, and has a tendency to jump up on people, on occasion.  We’re working with him on this.  This could be simply due to his unexpected move to a new home and we are hoping he can work through this with time, love and a little confidence.  For this reason, and due to his size, he may be best in a home with older children and adults. He does well on the leash.  He doesn’t pull hard, but due to his size, anyone walking him will need to be able to handle occasional pulling, leaning, or walking in the way of his handler. He gets along extremely well with other dogs.  He takes the submissive approach when meeting new dogs, and when initiating play.  When his invitation is accepted, he will play as gently or aggressively as his partner prefers.  (Again, due to his size, he may inadvertently play too roughly with smaller dogs).  He is also very good at keeping himself entertained.  It appears that he has been an only dog, and has developed some games to play alone that he enjoys.  One is tossing a tennis ball and running to catch it himself, or pushing/chasing anything that rolls.   He has been exposed to cats, and has only shown friendly curiosity with them.   We will continue to monitor this and update if we notice anything further. It appears that he has a good amount of energy when playing outside but is much calmer indoors.  He seems to be well trained – so far, we have noticed that he understands “sit”, “shake” and “lie down” and “leave it”.  He takes treats enthusiastically yet gently.  When he's feeling lovey, he enjoys giving big hugs.  If you've ever wondered what it's like to hug a fluffy human-sized teddy bear, this is it! This boy has only been in rescue a short time, but is already showing signs of being a very well-behaved, lovable and smart boy.  He is ready to find his forever family, where he can regain confidence and stability for the rest of his life.  If this sounds like you, please apply today! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $650.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 3, 2025, 1:44 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Highland has been soaking up love and learning since birth in her Texas foster home, and it shows. She’s smart, eager to please, and already picking up on training at just three months old. The Great Pyrenees in her is easy to see—goofy, gentle, independent yet deeply attached to her people. She’s got the softest fur around her neck and expressive eyes that make it clear she’s full of love. She adores other dogs, following them around and always trying to keep up, though she’s still learning when playtime is over. She’d do well with another playful dog or an active family—especially one with kids to chase. She loves the outdoors, running, jumping, and taking in the world around her. Highland is still working on potty training, which is to be expected at 3 months. She also can sometimes be a chatty girl —she "talks" in soft sounds and barks when really excited. She protests the kennel at first but is learning to settle more quickly each time. She will be a large dog and needs a home ready for a big, loving, and adventurous companion. Whether she’s placing a paw on your arm just to be close or pouncing into playtime with fearless enthusiasm, Highland is ready to be a loyal, loving part of the family. Highland is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 03/08/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 4:30 and 8pm. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame.  Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. 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. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* 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.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 26, 2025, 5:25 pm
