My story

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

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



Say hello to Mooch!!! Although you can call her whatever you like, because the only sound she responds to is the sound of food hitting her bowl! 
 
Mooch came to us after her loving owner had to move into assisted living.   She is a sweet, sweet girl with giant paws and the softest coat!  She loves to play and can swipe her toys out of the air like a super cat ninja! Hi-ya!  Even though she came from a quiet home where she was the only pet,  she has settled right in with her foster family with loud teenagers and annoying doggies!  She doesn’t mind sharing her space with the pups, but she prefers the attention of humans!  She is always hanging around where the humans are, and likes snuggling on the couch or in bed at night.  Wherever there’s a human, she’ll be! Usually flopped on her side like she’s about to fall asleep,  right in the middle of the floor, on a couch, on a laptop…she’s comfortable anywhere! But if you stray too far she’ll find you…or start yelling for you!  Meow, meow ….. meeeeeeeeoooooooowwwwe!  Do you blame her?!?  It’s no fun to be alone! 
 
She would love to find a home where she can keep a human friend company and have some kiddos to snuggle with and give her treats!

Mooch is from a stray surrender. 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.

Go meet their pets

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.
