Priska *Arriving 7/25* D11798 - Terrier and Pug Dog for Adoption

Priska is a gentle soul looking for a patient family that will help her continue building confidence. While she may be a little unsure of the world at first, the people who take the time to earn her trust are rewarded with an incredibly sweet, loyal, and loving companion.
When Priska first arrived in foster care, she was very fearful and hesitant of her new surroundings. With patience, kindness, and a predictable routine, she began to relax, and within just a few days she blossomed into a devoted friend. Once she knows you're safe, she's happiest lounging nearby, soaking up quiet companionship, and enjoying a peaceful day together.
Priska can be uncertain around other dogs and hasn't had the opportunity to meet cats or children. Because of her sensitive nature, she would do best in a home where everyone can respect her boundaries and allow her to settle in at her own pace. She isn't looking for a chaotic lifestyle... She's looking for a family that understands that trust is something special and worth earning.
She already has some basic training and is a wonderful candidate for someone seeking a low-energy companion. Priska would much rather spend time relaxing with her favorite people than keeping up with a busy schedule.
If you're looking for a calm, gentle dog who will form a deep bond with the people she loves, Priska may be the perfect match. All she needs is a little patience, and she'll show you just how rewarding it is to earn the love of a truly special dog.

Priska 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.
