Adopt a Hound in Minnesota

Hound mixes vary widely — from baying scent hounds to sleek sighthounds — but most share an easygoing, sociable temperament. They appear in Southern shelters in particularly large numbers. A rescued hound mix is typically calm at home and joyful outside.

Minnesota's rescue dog community is active in the Twin Cities, Duluth, and Rochester. Many Minnesota rescues partner with regional transport networks to bring in dogs from higher-need states. A rescued Minnesota dog often comes from one of these well-organized programs.
