Meet Coco! ❤️ Coco is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves nothing more than being with her people. She’s a wonderfully content companion who is happy to go for a walk, run around the backyard, or simply hang out at home. She’s quiet and well-behaved in the house, doesn’t chew on things, and knows when it’s time to settle in for the night.

Coco definitely knows how to ask for attention! She may jump up for a hug or hop into your lap before rolling over for her favorite belly rubs. She’s working on keeping all four paws on the floor when saying hello, but her enthusiasm is pretty adorable. She loves playing in the backyard and will happily chase a toy. She’s even learned the “return” part of fetch, so she’s making great progress on becoming a fetching pro!

Coco enjoys playing with other dogs and can be a fun companion, although she can get a little jealous when sharing attention. Sometimes her people just need to make sure everyone gets their fair share of pets! She could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only.

Coco is house-trained, knows her basic commands, and is working on her “stay.” She also settles beautifully in her crate and has made great progress with feeling comfortable there.

Coco can be a little unsure of some men when she first meets them and may give a small growl when she’s nervous. She does best with a slow, low-pressure introduction—having a new person sit down and let her approach on her own terms helps her feel much more comfortable. Once Coco decides you’re okay, though, you’ll discover the absolute best girl: affectionate, loving, and ready to soak up all the attention she can get.

Coco is a wonderful companion who simply wants to be near her people. Give her a little patience when meeting new people, plenty of belly rubs, and a spot by your side, and Coco will happily show you what a special girl she is. 💕
 

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable pups, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog or puppy as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Please read the following general requirements carefully before submitting an adoption application. While this criteria is our typical standard, we understand all situations are unique! Don’t be discouraged if you don’t feel you meet one of these bullet points – feel free to submit an application anyway, so we can discuss your situation with you.

  • Applicants must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Submitted applications must be filled out fully and factually.
  • All applicants must reside in the state of Minnesota or its bordering states, unless a special exception has been made. Please email us at info@ruffstartrescue.org if you would like to discuss the potential for an out of state adoption.
  • Consider how you’ll manage an isolation period and be sure all existing pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and other routine health care before bringing a new pet home. An isolation period would be good for allowing that animal to settle in and learn the routine.
  • Please be aware of any rental/association or homeowners’ insurance restrictions you may have before applying. Such limits may include breed restrictions, number of pets allowed, weight requirements, etc.
  • All adopted animals must live indoors with their families and always be monitored closely when outdoors for their safety (with the exception of working cats).
  • We do not allow any medically-unnecessary surgical procedures, such as declawing; defanging; debarking; or cropping/docking (of tails or ears) to be conducted on any animal adopted from our rescue.
