Story
At just 18 months old and around 40# (plus a whole lot of fluff!), Marco is an adorable Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix (our best guess). He is a loyal, slightly clumsy and utterly lovable Velcro dog, happiest wherever his people are. With lovely medium energy, Marco is always up for playing and doing things with his family. He is equally happy relaxing in the yard, soaking up the sunshine while watching his favorite show, Bunny TV. Cuddling with his humans is another favorite pastime. He discovered the joy of toys, and his goofy play style is downright adorable. Marco can be shy when meeting new people. He prefers to take his time, observe, think things over, and then decide when he's ready to approach. Once he feels safe, his sweet personality shines. Patience, kindness, and allowing him to move at his own pace are key to building his confidence and winning his trust. The ideal family for this handsome lad will help him become more confident without sheltering him from the world. He wants to explore, experience new things, and expand his horizons. He loves being outdoors and loves going for walks. A securely fenced yard would be amazing: he would love a safe place to explore and gain faith in himself. Marco does well with the cats in his foster home, simply ignoring them. We know from his prior home that he cannot live with free-range chickens. A calm, confident canine companion could be a good match after proper introductions. He could live with mature children who understand that loud noises and being startled aren't his jam. He is housebroken once settled into a new routine. Relaxes in his crate when his people are away. He wants to take his new family to obedience classes to learn lots of things and spend time together. You will not find a more devoted companion than Marco. He cannot wait to find a deep connection with a special family that will treasure him as much as he will adore them. APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Marco is being fostered in Rochester, MN. His adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit. Meet and greets with specific dogs are arranged once your adoption application (not an inquiry through Petfinder) has been received, processed, and approved. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Story
The joy you feel when any living being makes a transformation from uncertainty and questioning to appreciation and hope, is one of the most awe-inspiring journeys that you will ever experience. Welcome to the world of Kenny, a Border Collie mix whose past wasn't always filled with caring companionship. Kenny could sense the kindness and compassion of the photographer and slowly but purposely joined with him for a touch that was deeply desired by both of the participants. Kenny leaned his body on the human and gazed up with the look that spoke volumes of the connection between the canines and a trusted friend. A few moments later and six-month-old Kenny was exploring the park with fearless confidence. The fire hydrant provided a universally recognized invitation that Kenny graciously accepted. Kenny then ventured toward the doggy wading pool and worked up the courage to bravely test the wetness of the cool, inviting water. By the end of the session, Kenny knew that the peacefulness and empathy of the human were the real deal that came without demands or restrictions. Kenny responded with a thankful, genuine, from-the-heart unconditional smile. Join Kenny and share the best life adventure that anyone could hope for. Kenny is up to date on shots and neutered.

Story
Joyful. Smiley. Gentle. Silly. If you're looking for a dog who brightens your day simply by being herself, you found her! I'm Lassie, a 10-year-old, 55# Border Collie mix, and I'm proof that growing older means you get better at appreciating the good things in life. My theme song is Happy by Pharrell Williams, and once you meet me, you'll understand why! These days, my favorite things are simple. I love a nice, leisurely walk, followed by a fluffy dog bed where I can stretch out and relax. If it's warm, an AC vent works too!! I'm also an enthusiastic fan of pets, attention, and giving kisses to my favorite people. My ideal home is peaceful with a family who enjoys staying close to home and believes in getting out for daily exercise. Short strolls are my favorite - I'm an amazing walking companion. My stamina is building as I lose weight toward my 45# goal. Traffic, strange noises, and other dogs do not bother me. My fosters have taken me on outings to a parade and a brewery, and I got an A+ at both events! I could happily live with another calm dog or be your one-and-only. Cats are no problem - we can coexist easily. Gentle, calm children could be part of my family, too. A fenced yard would be wonderful but its not a requirement. I want to be near my people, only outside if they are with me. You can leave me loose in the house for short periods (my fosters have left me for a couple hours so far). After suddenly losing my person, a lot has changed for me. My foster family is helping me learn to feel relaxed, and I move a little slowly due to extra weight and minor arthritis. Each pound I lose makes me feel much better! (My haircut is part of the 'feel better' plan too - my mats are gone! My beautiful coat will grow back soon) If you're looking for a sweet companion who appreciates quiet days, comfortable beds, gentle affection, and little adventures, I might be your girl. My forever home will gain a little happiness every single day. Lassie is being fostered in Savage, MN. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Lassie is taking supplements and medication that are approximately $60/month. We believe weight loss and time to settle will make the world of difference for this special girl, reducing the need for these items. Details will be provided to interested families. Her adoption fee is $250 plus Minnesota tax. Lassie is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit.

💜 Come meet me at our Adoption Event at Chuck & Don's in Edina (York Ave) on Saturday, 8/8 from 11am-1pm! 💚 💜 Come meet me at our Adoption Event at Spike & Houles in Stillwater on Sunday, 8/9 from 12-2pm! 💚 Age: DOB 6/8/2026 Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: yes Kid friendly: yes Potty trained: no, just a puppy Crate trained: no, just a puppy Meet Africa from the Continents Litter! 🌎🐾 After a long road trip from Missouri to Minnesota, Africa and his six adorable Border Collie mix siblings are ready to begin the biggest adventure of all—finding their forever families! At about 8 weeks old, they're full of curiosity, cuddles, and puppy charm. All seven puppies are incredibly sweet, smart, and playful. They love exploring the backyard, wrestling with their siblings, and get especially excited whenever the two resident big dogs stop by to play. At the end of a busy day, they're happiest curled up for a cuddle before settling in to sleep quietly through the night. Like most young puppies, they're still working on potty training and will need patient families to help them learn. Africa is an adventurous little explorer who is always ready to discover something new. Whether he's chasing a leaf across the yard or following the big dogs around, his curiosity keeps him busy. When playtime is over, he's more than happy to snuggle up for a nap in your lap. Whichever continent you choose, you'll be bringing home a smart, loving puppy who's ready to grow into a loyal lifelong companion! Adoption Fee: $595
