COLT *ARRIVING 2/7* - PIT BULL TERRIER / AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. Colt is a sweet little puppy who is ready to become the newest member of your family! He is well-socialized and gets along wonderfully with children of all ages as well as dogs of all sizes. Colt is a friendly, eager-to-please boy who loves attention and is always the first one to come running for treats or scratches. He’s playful, goofy, and loves to fetch and play with toys. Colt also enjoys cuddling up on your lap when it’s time to relax. He rides well in the car and is crate trained, making him a great fit for a family that wants a well-rounded, easy-going pup. Colt is still a puppy, so he is still learning potty training, but he is smart and will pick it up quickly with a little patience and consistency. He has already overcome a skin condition and is now healthy and ready for his forever home. If you’re looking for a loving, adaptable puppy who will fit into your home from day one, Colt is your guy! Colt would be a wonderful match for almost any family. He’s friendly, social, and ready to love — the perfect addition for someone looking for a happy, playful puppy! Colt is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 2/7/2026 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.
