Meet Arianna

Arianna is from Texas. She was rescued from a high kill shelter in the Houston area. Arianna is a sweet, but independent pup. She likes affection from her humans, but isn't needy about it. She's also an independent woman who DOES NOT like to be picked up. If you're looking for a pup to carry around she is not it. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share your days with?? Bingo.. she's your girl. Arianna is completely potty trained, but we always expect a bit of regression with change. A little patience and a consistent routine and she should be good to go. She is also crate trained.. sleeping there soundly through the night. She has some basic leash manners, and would love to show them off while you walk her around the neighborhood. She's never met a walk she didn't like. Arianna is happiest sleeping in a sunspot, or curled up on the couch next to you. If you think this sweet scruffy little munchkin sounds just about perfect for you.. fill out an adoption application today. She can't wait to meet you! They arrive in Minnesota on 02/20/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am 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. 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. 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.
