Nana is a 10-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix from Texas. She is a sweet girl who gets along with everyone. Kids, men, cats?? they don't even phase her. If we're being honest she probably doesn't care who's lap it is as long as it's in a sunspot.
Miss Nana is really working on her potty training, and she's pretty consistent on potty pads, but hasn't mastered the "going outside" aspect of potty training just yet. She will go into her crate to sleep at night.. but cuddled up in the blankets
with
you in your bed, is where she really wants to be. Speaking of blankets, Miss Nana is a pro level blanket snuggler. If you can't find her?? Start checking the blankets. She probably borrowed right into it. Nana would be a 10/10 companion for a senior that wants a cuddler. If you think she'd be a perfect fit for you, please fill out an adoption application today!
*This animal is a part of our "Seniors for Seniors" program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.*
Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car - it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape.
Nana is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 02/20/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am 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.

to learn more about the FTA program. 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.
