My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Leelu is a sweetheart with a heart that shines! She lets you know how happy she is with the cutest little smile. She is gentle yet energetic, loves snuggles and being your shadow. She can hold her own in the wrestlemania of playing with her brother and has some serious sass when it comes to taking no crap from her brother and big foster brother.

She is curious about, but gentle with the kitties in the home and is learning what off means.

She’s love to be a counter surfer but she’s learning that food comes on a regular basis and that that isn’t needed or ok to do. It’s more she’s just so excited about meals and snacks she just can’t wait for it.

She’s learning sit and off so far. She goes to her kennel at feeding time and knows to sit before going in/out of doors and post potty snacks.

She can be a little loud in kennel at first but calms down. She loves when calming music is played for her. I think she’d do well with a friend to keep her company and learn from.

Overall she is a pure delight and honestly, you fall in love with her just meeting her and feeling how happy she is. She truly is a special little spirit.

Leelu is from a local reservation. 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.

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based rescue, meaning no animals are available at the Princeton, MN office for public viewing or adoption. All animals in our care reside in foster homes with few special exceptions for our adoption center animals, who are housed at our partnering facilities temporarily before adoption. To meet a Ruff Starter you may be interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application on our website.

More about this rescue

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit companion animal rescue that primarily serves communities throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as states in the south with severe pet overpopulation. We rescue stray, neglected, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats as well as ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other critters. Most of our work is accomplished by a complex network of volunteers, fosters, and supporters, all of whom come together to save thousands of animals each year.

Since our inception, we’ve firmly believed that a home is usually a far more desirable environment than a shelter or a kennel for most companion animals in need of a forever family. As a result, we rely nearly exclusively on volunteers to provide foster homes for rescued pets until they find their adoptive homes. Please note: this means no animals are available at our facility for public viewing.

Each pet in our care is provided with routine vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, microchipped, given internal and external parasite preventatives, and tested for common bloodborne pathogens such as heartworm and feline leukemia. Advanced veterinary care is provided to any animal that requires such services before adoption.

If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or volunteering, please fill out an applicable application at our website: www.ruffstartrescue.org.
