positive. He has already started his Heart worm treatment down in Texas, and it will need to be continued once he gets to Minnesota, but don't let that scare you away! Heart worm treatment is manageable and once it's over he'll be just fine. Toby is a goofy little guy who absolutely loves his people. His favorite thing to do is to pounce on you while you sit on the couch playing with him. (it's adorable.. trust us). He's a playful, loving boy, but he's not that fond of kids under 10.. they just move too fast and make him uneasy. Adversely, he adores small dogs around his size, but is afraid of larger dogs. He is crate trained (he might need a little bribe in the beginning , but he settles quietly in a short time). Toby hasn't had much obedience training, and will need some time and patience learning leash manners. (We recommend walking him in a harness, as they are much more forgiving) Potty training is another hurdle that Toby is still trying to jump.. lol. He is a marker, but could be belly banded while working on it. Toby is looking for a family that will love him to bits. Letting him on the furniture to watch a movie and maybe even snuggling in bed with them at night. If you just can't get over his cute little face, you should fill out an adoption application today! He just can't wait to meet you They arrive in Minnesota on 11/21/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30 am and noon. 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 this program. This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian.

  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.
