Hermione *Arriving 10/10* D12620 - Catahoula Leopard Dog and Schnauzer Dog for Adoption

Hermoine is ready for a fresh start and a loving home! Found on the side of the road in a rural area, she was hungry and scared, alone with her brothers. She's much happier and healthier now that she's had a good foster home to care for her and show her some love! Hermoine will need support with basics like walking on a leash, housetraining, being crated; but she knows sit/stay/come. She's eager to be the best dog she can be, just needs the proper guidance! Hermoine loves to be your shadow and watch what you're doing, and is friendly with all humans. She has shared a home with kids over 10 and done well. She has never met cats but expected to do well with them. Hermoine gets excited to meet other dogs but tends to play on her own. If you're needing some magic in your life, come meet Hermoine and see if it's a match!

Hermione is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 10/10/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30-11am. 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. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. 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.
