DRACO *ARRIVING 8/22* - SCHNAUZER / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Schnauzer / Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Draco is a super sweet, affectionate boy who bonds deeply and loves with his whole heart. It took him less than a day to warm up in his foster home, and now he happily follows his foster mom everywhere. He’s submissive with other dogs and plays wonderfully with small pups, though he hasn’t been exposed to cats or dogs over 40 lbs. This gentle guy came to rescue as an owner surrender, leaving his world a bit upside down. As a result, he has some separation anxiety—he feels safest in his crate when his people are away, but if you’re home, he prefers to be in the same room and may cry if he’s not. With patience and consistency, he will continue to make progress and build confidence. Draco would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time—retirees, work-from-home families, or anyone who wants a devoted shadow. In return, he’ll gaze into your eyes as he drifts off to sleep and shower you with unconditional love Draco is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 8/22/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am 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. Click here 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. 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.
