tely nailing it (with some help from her Chihuahua mentor). Thanks to him, she’s mastered stairs, outdoor potty breaks, and the house routine—no accidents in over a week! Zola lives with several large dogs and smartly retreats to her kennel when their energy gets a little extra. She's warming up to her foster mom and even pauses for short bursts of affection now. Men? She’s not so sure—she’ll bark when they get home, but responds well to gentle correction. T.P.’s biggest hobby? Hoarding toys (“babies”) in her oversized bed that she stole from the big dogs. Every morning she grabs a baby to carry outside like it’s her emotional support stuffie. Here’s the cutest video of Zola showing off her “baby”. Her kennel also requires regular toy removal so she has space to sleep. She’s a bit on the fluffy side, so she’s on a two-meals-plus-snack routine. Walks aren’t her thing (yet), but with time and patience, she might get there. Due to her breeder background, she’s a flight risk, so a securely fenced yard is a must. Zola would do best with older kids, at least one other confident dog, and a home ready to continue building her trust. She’s still learning—but she’s already got the heart of a queen. Zola is from a breeder release. 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. 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.

  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.
