About Tortoise Arriving D

Meet Tortoise, a charming 7-year-old dog who's all about balance. This lovable guy has a playful spirit that still embraces the joys of a slower pace. He’s got a great mix of Beagle and Jack Russell Terrier traits, showcasing a beautiful white and cream coat with hints of tan. Tortoise thrives on cuddles and playtime. Whether it's getting his morning zoomies in the yard or settling in for a cozy evening on the couch, he’s your perfect companion. He enjoys the company of dog siblings but is also content as your only hairy buddy, provided you’re home often to keep him company. Just a heads up—he's not fond of cats or small creatures due to his strong prey drive. Tortoise does show some signs of separation anxiety, so longer alone times are not his strong suit. Leash etiquette is a work in progress, as he tends to pull towards interesting critters. His adorable quirks include helping with changing sheets, snuggling, and drying off after rainy adventures—if you lay down a towel for him! If you think Tortoise might be the right fit for you, especially if you’re looking for a loyal companion, consider applying to meet him today! Tortoise is arriving in Minnesota on 7/11/2026, from Texas. He’ll need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN, between 9am and noon.
