Ruff Start Rescue

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based nonprofit companion animal rescue that radiates compassion and dedication. Their mission extends beyond borders, reaching communities throughout Minnesota and the southern states plagued by stray pet overpopulation. They rescue the voiceless victims of neglect, abandonment, and despair—dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and many other critters. Every single day, their efforts are propelled by volunteers, fosters, and supporters who unite as a force of unwavering love, saving thousands of lives.

Their vision statement,  is simple: "We strive for a world where every companion animal has a safe and loving home and their family has the knowledge and resources needed to give them the life they deserve."
