NATALIA *ARRIVING 8/9* - BEAGLE / JACK RUSSELL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Natalia is the kind of dog who doesn’t rush into anything. She’ll hang back at first, watchful and unsure, but once she decides you’re okay? Game on. Big smiles, full-body wiggles, and her signature vertical leap that says, “Walk now, please.” She came from a home that was overwhelmed, and she wasn’t getting the attention she needed. A friend stepped in and promised to find her something better. That’s where you come in. Natty is crate trained, walks well on a leash, and knows her basic manners. She loves walks, cuddles, and then some quiet time in her kennel to recharge. She’s smart—like, read-your-mind smart—and has incredibly expressive eyes that do most of the talking. She's funny too. There's a daily stretch routine (paws on your legs, big yawn), and she always says good morning with her whole face. She does resource guard a little at first—crate, treats, space—but it's manageable and tends to fade as she settles. She’ll need someone patient, someone who respects her boundaries and gives her time to trust. Natalia isn’t looking for perfect. She’s looking for calm, kind, and consistent. Someone who sees her and says, you’re safe now. Natalia is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 8/9 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am-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 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. 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.
