Shop Lone Star Merchandise
Each item comes in a handful of color options to customize your look. Your order can either be shipped directly to you or picked up at the rescue office in Princeton, MN. Once this storefront closes on June 3, it’ll take an estimated 10-14 days to reach you from that time. All proceeds help the animals in Ruff Start’s care!
Who We Are
We are a foster-based rescue dedicated to saving the lives of at-risk animals. We communicate and educate about the importance of animal rescue and welfare. We strive for a world where every animal has a safe and loving forever home, and we do everything possible to treat the animals in our care and save them regardless of their age or the expense associated.

Rescue Knows No Zip Code
Local animals come first, but animals in southern states often face a more imminent threat. We will always do our best to assist our fellow animal welfare advocates and the animals they so dutifully serve, no matter their location. Today in Texas, tens of thousands of dogs and cats, stray or abandoned, face euthanasia. We are working to change that.
