Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Brutus is a very sweet boy who loves to be by his person and give affection and cuddles. He has a gentle nature and is incredibly loving, making him a wonderful companion.  Brutus has a unique habit of getting on top of the kennel, but he doesn't like being inside it. He will cry and whine when kenneled and prefers to be free to roam.He would do best in a home with someone who won't kennel him all day and can provide him with the freedom he wants. It is important to be aware that  Brutus is skittish and unsure of men, so he will need slow introductions and space when meeting them. He is not cautious when meeting women or children.  If you're looking for a loving, affectionate, and ADORABLE pup Brutus might be the perfect match for you! Brutus is from Texas.   If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. M’lynn is a gentle girl, just waiting for the right person to give her the peace and love she deserves. Found on the street after bravely raising ten puppies all on her own, M’lynn has shown incredible strength and determination—but beneath that courage is the sweetest, gentlest soul. She’s a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality shines through. M’lynn is calm, affectionate, and low energy—more of a cuddle-on-the-couch kind of girl than a fetch-in-the-yard type (at least for now!). She's not in a rush, and she’s looking for someone who isn’t either. Patience is key with M’lynn, but the reward is a loyal and loving companion. She loves kids and is happiest riding along in the car by your side. She learns quickly and wants to please. M’lynn has overcome so much, and now she just needs someone to show her the world can be safe, kind, and loving. M'lynn was treated for heartworm disease and will remain on activity restrictions for several weeks. It is important for heartworm treated dogs to remain on heartworm prevention lifelong. Click here to learn more about heartworm disease. M'lynn is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 5/3/2025 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.

Story
Ethereal is a 7-year-old, 10.5-pound mini Schnauzer/Poodle mix who's as adorable as her name suggests. This happy girl is full of sunshine and absolutely adores attention—she'll light up any room with her cheerful presence. She is super sweet and eager to please and loves to be right by your side at all times.Ethereal has a very playful spirit. One of her favorite games is hide and seek which can launch her in to major zoomies with her tail wagging and body wiggling. It is quite cute and entertaining!True to the her Schnauzer mix, she is highly alert to sights and sounds, even watching the birds fly around in the air. She loves to watch the deer and other wildlife but has never acted aggressive or barked at them.Her crate training is coming along well. When directed, she will walk into the kennel by herself although she would rather sleep on the bed with you. She may whine at first but quickly goes to sleep. She is for the most part house-broken and has only had a few accidents.We take her outside frequently throughout the day to form a consistent routine and she goes to the restroom right away without getting distracted. Oh, and she walks on a leash like a pro!!Ethereal is a sweet, precious, gentle, and intelligent dog that would pretty well fit in with most families. I haven't seen her interact with other dogs but I could see her getting along well with another dog that she could play with.IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.April 16, 2025, 7:00 am

Story
Hi there! I’m Anny the precious little breeder release mini Schnauzer retired momma. So many things have changed since I was rescued from the awful and traumatic breeding life last fall. First and foremost, I am learning what it means to be a safe and adored family member - a life that I never dreamed was even possible. Next, I’m learning that not all humans are awful. I still don't like being picked up / it still scares me a lot. I now take treats from my foster mom and dad and quite like them. I'm very cautious, and it takes me a long time to warm up, but I do eventually, after a lot of time.  Loud noises still terrify me, so I am not a good fit for a home with small children or a lot of disorganized chaos. I am still very much in training on accepting a leash and walking, but I have come a long, long way, and actually quite like walking with my foster sister. In fact, I'm the greatest doggie sibling that ever was because I'm independent, playful, silly, sweet, and love every doggie I've met as long as they’re close in size to me. I am often found hanging out in my foster sister and brother’s bed or kennel, sometimes even with them still in there, too. I love to chew my bully sticks, greenies, and no hide chews. I also love to play with my toys. There are some special needs that I must have in my next loving home - 1. Another confident doggie sibling. I don't like being alone, and I need to follow a good fur leader. 2. A secure fenced yard is a must. I need to be kept safe at all costs because I am still in doggie training, and I don't like being leashed, and it takes me a good long while to trust that process. Until I do, I am a flight risk. 3. A really patient and caring dog mom or dad. I have been through a lot of unfair and icky experiences in my short life. I am not immediately cuddly, and I need a safe and cozy space of my own. I do like sleeping in the bed with my foster mom, dad, and siblings. The end of their bed is one of my most favorite places, along with my place in front of the fireplace and my fuzzy rug, bed, and crate. 4. Lots of training. Guess what? I'm a purebred terrier girl. That means I’m stubborn and have a big mind of my own. Training to listen, walk, sit, focus, and come to my human is an absolute necessity. If you're willing to accept me for my tiny quirks, let me tell you what / you will just love me. I'm such a sweet girl. I'm just a little mischievous clown. I have the most fantastic terrier head tilt! If you’re familiar with Mini Schnauzers, I am 1000% one with all the traits and personality.   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $750.00    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 10, 2025, 2:06 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Gigi – A Resilient Soul with a Heart Full of Love Some dogs have a story that tugs at your heart—and Gigi’s is one of them. This 10-year-old beauty was found during a snowstorm, abandoned and alone in an impounded car. No one came forward to claim her, but that heartbreaking beginning led her to a second chance—one she's grabbing onto with all the love she has left to give. When Gigi was first rescued, she was a hot mess (scroll through her photos and you’ll see what we mean!). Matted fur, neglected teeth, and a spirit in need of care. But a fresh haircut, some dental work, and a whole lot of love later, Gigi has officially had her glow-up—and she’s never looked back. Life hasn’t been easy for this sweet senior. Gigi recently suffered a small stroke, but in true survivor fashion, she bounced back like a champ. The only lasting sign is a slight head tilt—which honestly just makes her even more endearing. It’s her little reminder to the world: “I’ve been through some stuff, but I’m still standing.” Gigi is deaf, but don’t let that fool you—she’s incredibly tuned in to the people she loves. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves being near her humans. She’s partially potty trained and improving every day with a bit of guidance and consistency. She does bark when left alone, so a home without shared walls is ideal for this chatty lady. She’d also love a fenced-in yard to safely explore and a furry companion to show her the ropes and keep her company when her people are away. Gigi may be a senior, but her heart is young. She’s ready to trade the chaos of her past for the comfort of a loving home, warm blankets, belly rubs, and all the cozy naps she can handle. If you’re someone who believes in second chances and sees the beauty in a dog who’s weathered life’s storms, Gigi is waiting for you. Let her golden years be the best ones yet—you’ll never regret it.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal? Please go to our website www.wagsmn.org and fill out an Adoption Application.  Once the application is processed, a Wags representative will contact you, answer any questions you may have, and set up a time/location for a meet and greet!  A home visit is required prior to adoption.  Thank you for choosing to adopt!
