Meet Hazelnut *Arriving 7/13*

Meet Hazelnut! Hazelnut was found on the streets of Houston with her brother, searching for water, food, and shelter. Despite her tough start, she’s a bundle of energy and joy who thinks she’s much bigger than she actually is. Hazelnut’s day starts with a trip outside to potty, followed by breakfast. After fueling up, she loves playing with her sister and friends. Despite the heat of Texas, Hazelnut enjoys a cozy midday nap, often hiding under her blanket. She’s back outside for more fun in the afternoon before dinner time. Hazelnut loves to play! When happy she can be found running around letting out cute little barks. She’s happy when she’s around other dogs and would love to find a forever home where she has a furry sibling. This is not a necessity though, she can adjust to being the only dog in the household with a family that gives her plenty of love and attention! Cuddling up under a blanket is one of her favorite pastimes, making her the perfect snuggle buddy. Hazelnut is incredibly loving and playful. She’s looking for a home where she can continue to run, play, and be surrounded by love. If you’re ready for an adorable spirited and affectionate companion, Hazelnut might be the perfect fit for you! Hazelnut is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 7/13/2024 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 5pm and 9pm. 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. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* 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.  

Look for other dogs for adoption!
