Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Holand is the sweetest pup, found wandering alone before being taken in by a kind rescuer in Houston. He loves being by people as much as possible and napping on soft beds and couches is his favorite. He does well in a home with other dogs, though he doesn’t necessarily seek out their companionship. He does have a prey drive and would do best in a home without cats. Holand is crate trained, but would much rather be left out snoozing on a bed or couch. He is a gentle giant, very calm and good with children. Holand is typically quiet, but does bark when initially kenneled. Due to this, he would do best in a home without shared walls. He is completely potty trained and has had no accidents with his foster. He does love to drink water and needs some bathroom breaks after drinking a lot. He enjoys carrying around soft stuffed toys in his mouth and chewing on bones. Holand just loves people the most and even has a cute little hop when he sees his favorites! This mellow guy doesn’t have separation anxiety, but would thrive in a home with people who are home more often than not. Holand just wants his own people to love him and a comfy spot to snooze in. He would be the perfect calm companion! Holand is from Texas. One big thing you should know is they are heartworm positive - but please don’t let that scare you away from adopting them! After they undergo treatment for their condition they will be completely healthy again, and heartworm is not a contagious disease. Because they need treatment, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) program. Click here to learn more about this program. They will get heartworm treatment at one of Ruff Start’s partner veterinary clinics in St. Cloud, so their foster will need to be comfortable getting them to and from the appointments. Treatment will consist of three injections: the first will be roughly 30 days after they enter rescue. Then, the second and third injections will happen 30 days after the first. When they are undergoing treatment, they should be on activity ‘restrictions’ which just means they should relax in their crate or cuddle with you.

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.
