About Spinelli Arriving D

Meet Spinelli! This shy little lady has the most adorable fluffy ears and a gentle soul. She may be a bit timid at first, but with your patience, she’ll bloom into a loving companion. One of her endearing habits is resting her head on your arm and gazing up at you, showing just how sweet she can be. Spinelli enjoys a slower pace of life. While she loves her meal times, she much prefers relaxing over wild play sessions, although she does have her fun moments of puppy zoomies. Spinelli is still learning the ropes of the world and will need help with potty training and basic obedience. A friendly and confident dog buddy could do wonders for her confidence, helping her to see that new experiences can be good ones. She hasn’t yet been tested with kids or cats, so a calm, secure environment is ideal for Spinelli as she navigates her new life. If you have some extra patience and a heart full of love, she would thrive by your side. This little one is ready to find her forever home where she can feel safe and cherished. Spinelli is coming all the way from Texas and will arrive in Minnesota on November 6, 2026. She'll need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM. Plan accordingly, as pickups outside these hours can’t be accommodated. Spinelli is currently part of Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt Program, meaning you can welcome her into your home while she settles in and receives any needed veterinary care. This could be the start of something special together!
