DESCRIPTION
Meet Squirt, a member of the Texas Lunch Box crew! Don't let the name fool you, Squirt has a BIG personality packed into a teeny tiny package.
This sweet boy is the ultimate cuddle buddy. When you pick him up, he melts right in, resting his head on your shoulder and nuzzling into your neck like he belongs there (because he does). If he's in the mood for snuggles (which is often) he'll come right up and hop onto your legs to let you know it's cuddle time.
Squirt is always ready for an adventure and loves being part of the fun, but he's equally committed to his recharge time After meals and play sessions, he's all about a good nap to refuel.
And let's talk about that personality... Squirt is just a little bit sassy! He's got the best expressions and isn't afraid to "talk back" and let you know exactly how he feels. Squirt would love a home with another playful pup to keep him company and burn off that happy energy.
Squirt is a smart boy that will do well in a committed home with consistent love and training.
Squirt is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 05/01/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am 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. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. 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.
