About this Dog
Deck is a bright, cheerful puppy who greets everyone with a tail wag and a chorus of happy little “yip yip yips.” He was born in a city shelter after his mom was dumped in the country, and he’s been growing up in a loving foster home since he was just three weeks old. He’s still very young and has a lot of learning ahead, but he’s at the perfect age to start training and bonding with his people. Deck doesn’t shy away from people or other dogs—he dives right in with confidence and affection. Given his likely breed mix, some structure and basic training will go a long way, but he’s eager to please and loves being around people, which makes the process easier. Deck is playful, curious, and full of energy, so he’s not the right fit for someone looking for a calm or sedentary companion. But if you’re ready for a sweet, active pup who wants to be part of everything you do, Deck is more than ready to become someone’s beloved sidekick. Deck is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Deck and Receive Deck's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Deck's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Deck's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Deck, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Deck's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Deck was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Deck’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Deck’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Deck’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
