DOMINO *ARRIVING 10/4* - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / POINTER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Pointer / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. Domino was rescued from the streets of Houston along with his siblings, but he was the first to come into care because of a swollen leg. X-rays showed it was an old fracture that had already healed, and thankfully no surgery was needed. Today he’s thriving—bouncy, playful, and soaking up every bit of love that comes his way. At first, Domino was a little shy, but it didn’t take long for his friendly, affectionate side to shine. He adores people, plays well with other dogs, and has the cutest expressions when he hears new noises. He’s crate trained, learning his leash manners, and already eager to please. Domino is still very much a puppy—curious, energetic, and sometimes mischievous—so he’ll need a home with time, patience, and consistency to guide him into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. With his affectionate nature and playful spirit, he’s sure to grow into a loyal and loving companion! Domino is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 10/4/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am 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 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.
