TINKA *ARRIVING 6/14* - CHIHUAHUA / RAT TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Tinka is a calm, easygoing girl who’s just happy to be part of the pack. She was found as a stray, but she’s adjusted quickly to life in her foster home and gets along well with both people and other dogs. Her best trait? Her temperament. She’s laid-back, friendly, and doesn’t ask for much. She’s not an active or high-energy dog, so if you're looking for a running buddy or a dog to keep up with small, rambunctious kids, she’s probably not the right fit. Tinka would thrive in a calmer environment—maybe with an older individual or someone who appreciates a quiet companion with a steady presence. She’s low-maintenance, sweet, and brings a sense of peace to whatever space she’s in. Tinka is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 6/14/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 4:30pm 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.

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.
