My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say hi to Rocky! This beautiful Black Tri border collie is about a year old. He is a smart busy boy who gets along with dogs and is respectful of dog savvy cats. Rocky needs a family who will not be crating him for long periods of time, who are willing to provide him structured exercise, obedience training, and be willing to redirect him when he starts to obsess over his reflection in mirrors or reflective surfaces. Rocky needs a family who will keep his mind engaged, be willing to exercise him with long walks, frisbee, chuck-it, or agility training and show him leadership so he can relax in their care. Rocky likes to play with a canine buddy but really likes being active with his person too. Rocky is looking for an experienced border collie person who understands their quirks as well as their sensitive nature and their need to think! Rocky can live with kids 10+ but he's a border collie so expect some herding behavior. We will be very careful when placing Rocky to be sure his family is willing and able to meet his needs.

You will find an application to adopt at www.hoabcr.org.
Rocky's adoption fee is $300 plus MN tax.
In order to respect the time of our volunteer foster homes, we do not set up meetings until applications have been submitted and approved. Thank you.
