3 year old 11.3 lb chihuahua. I came to ruff start after I was at risk of being put down at a local pound where I was taken after being found as a stray. I was so scared at the shelter that I didn't allow the workers to interact with me. After coming to Ruff I have completely opened up and I am loving life. I follow my foster parents around and love cuddling with them. My favorite is when my mom holds me and carries me around like a little baby and I give her kisses on her nose. I am my moms shadow no matter what she is doing. Toys are great and a I love to carry them around and shake them all over! I am very playful and act a lot like a puppy still. Sometimes I will even steal a shoe or two. I sleep in a crate at night and when my family is away. I do well in there only complaining about it once and a while. Sometimes I get to sleep in bed with my humans and I love that! I do good with going potty outside but will sometimes mark things especially if I am in a new area or a new doggy has visited my house. I live with other dogs big and small. I do great with the small dogs but tend to pick on the bigger dogs. So a home with smaller dogs would be best. Being with other small dogs gives me more confidence and helps me feel more comfortable. My mom doesn't have a kitty but she thinks I would do fine with them. Due to me being fearful with new people I should go to a home with older kids or no kids, I do tend to get so nervous around new people that I bark and growl at them. With time I get used to them and slowly build trust. My new family needs to be okay with me not wanting to be their best friend at first but know with some patience and a lot of treats I will eventually never leave your side, I promise I am worth the wait. I should go to a quiet home that doesn't have a ton of visitors as I will let visitors know I do not want them there. I am scared of storms and loud noises and will try to hide under furniture. Because I am easily startled and not good with new people/ bigger animals I do need to be kept in a fenced in area or leashed at all times when outside, I will explore if left unleashed. If you are a furever home that wants a cute little guy who follows you all over, super cuddly, and you are patient, and okay with me not liking strangers I could be your guy! XOXO, Wayne If you are interested in me, please fill out an adoption application at www.ruffstartrescue.org. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal. Once we receive your application, a placement coordinator will be in contact with you as soon as possible. Please check out our website, www.ruffstartrescue.org for more details and additional pictures on any of our animals!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
