You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Della – Your Adventure Buddy in the Making! Della may have had a rough start, but she’s ready to take on the world with the right family by her side! She was found abandoned on a cold, wet February day alongside her brother. While he was the more confident of the two, Della has been gaining independence and learning to trust on her own.
She’s affectionate, playful, and a little bit of a shadow—she loves to follow her person around and be part of the action. If you’re into hiking, camping, or just being active, Della is all in! She’s still learning the ropes, so she’ll need some patience with training (especially with her sneaky jumping). One of her quirks? She loves using her front paws—whether it's adjusting her blanket, reaching for things, or doing a funny little "spread eagle" pose.
Della would thrive in a home with another playful dog, older kids, or an active adopter who can help her continue to build confidence. She’s come so far already, and with the right family, she’s going to shine!
Della is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 2/8 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am-12pm. 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.

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.
