SPRINKLES *ARRIVING 8/9* - HOUND / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Hound / Chihuahua / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. I’m a little Sprinkle short and stout, I may be small, but I’ve got lots of love to give out! I love cuddles — seriously, just scoop me up and I’m in heaven. I’m always getting compliments on my teeny little tail and how it curls up when I’m happy (which is most of the time when I’m near my people). Some nice people found me wandering all alone on the road, it was so scary and I didn’t feel great, but with some love and care, I’ve started to heal and feel safe again. I’m still working on potty training and learning how to sleep all the way through the night without whining (but come on, I’m a baby, I’ve got lots to learn!). Now, let’s talk food — I love it! I’ll eat mine and try to sneak some from the other dogs too (sorry, not sorry ). If they’re in my way, I might throw a tiny tantrum — I’ll huff and give them a little bark to move over. Loud noises and lots of chaos can be scary for me right now, so I’d love a calm home where I feel safe and can take things at my own pace. I’ve come so far, and I’m ready to find my person! Sprinkles 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 and 11AM. 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. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* 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.
