Blue Bonnet is everything you could hope for in a puppy! He's sweet, friendly, playful, and always ready to make new friends. He has been successful living with kids, cats, and other dogs, meaning he is an ideal candidate for many different types of families.
Like any young pup, Blue Bonnet loves to play! Whether he's romping around with his siblings or enjoying time with his people, he's happiest when he's having fun. Mealtime is also a big win for him, and he's always up for a treat.
Blue Bonnet's story began in Texas, where he and his littermates were abandoned.

Blue Bonnet has blossomed into a confident, affectionate puppy who's ready to start the next chapter of his life.
His ideal home will provide the training, consistency, patience, and socialization that every puppy needs to grow into a well-rounded adult dog. With continued guidance and plenty of love, Blue Bonnet will be a wonderful addition to any home.
If you're looking for a happy, loving puppy who's eager to learn and ready to be part of the family, Blue Bonnet is waiting to meet you!

Blue Bonnet is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 7/25/2026 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.
