Ronald *Arriving 10/10* D12619 - Catahoula Leopard Dog and Schnauzer Dog for Adoption

Ron is a chill, sweet guy who needs a soft place to land after a rough start. He was found on the side of the road with a couple of his siblings, all very hungry. He's doing much better now and is ready to find his forever home! Ron is very smart and loving, which will make him a very fun dog to train! He will need support with basics like sit/come/stay, along with housetraining. Ron absolutely loves to play, though he's more likely to entertain himself than chase other dogs. He does great with kids and is very friendly with everyone he meets! Ron can't wait to make his new start and fill your days with love and laughter.


Ronald 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.
