Peach is a sweet, playful girl who loves being part of a family and is happiest when she has people and a doggy friend to share her life with. She absolutely adores the dog in her foster home and would love a playful canine companion in her forever home to romp, play, and learn alongside. She still has plenty of puppy-like energy and especially enjoys playing with tennis balls.

Peach also loves her people and enjoys being close to them. She goes on three to four walks a day, which gives her plenty of opportunities to explore the world and practice her leash skills.

At home, she’s wonderfully house-trained and has had no potty accidents. When the day winds down, Peach becomes a professional cuddler. She loves sleeping right beside her people in bed, where she’ll curl up and softly snore the night away. She can experience some serious stranger danger, particularly with men, and adopters need to understand that she may not immediately show them the sweet girl we know and love.

Peach is happiest in a home where someone is around most of the time. She enjoys having company and would much rather be part of the action than spend long stretches alone. She’s a curious girl who may investigate anything tasty left within reach, so keeping tempting treats off the counters helps her make good choices. She’s also still working on feeling comfortable in her crate.

Peach has been in rescue for about a year now and has had a few meet-and-greets, but her initial shyness has made finding her forever family a challenge.

But here’s the important part: Peach warms up. She just needs time. Once she decides you’re one of her people, her loving and loyal personality shines through, and she’ll happily stick close by your side.

Because Peach can be vocal when she hears unfamiliar noises, she would do best in a home without shared walls. She’s looking for someone who understands that building trust takes time and is willing to let her relationship with them develop at her own pace.

Peach has been waiting long enough. She’s ready for a playful doggy friend, a loving home, and—most importantly—someone willing to give her the time she needs to discover that she’s finally home. 💛 🍑
 

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.
