Story

Meet Poncho!! Intelligent, energetic and sweet, Poncho is a 2.5 yr old Border Collie mix. He has a young, happy heart and lights up like a kid on Christmas morning while playing with his ball or rope tug toy. He is loyal to his core, loving his family with everything he has. In fact, his theme song is “I’ll Stand By You” by the Pretenders. Poncho was a little too well loved in his prior home and is making progress toward achieving a healthy weight. His goal is around 50# from a current 56#. Luckily, he is excited to take his people for walks and show them around town. He pulls on leash for the first few minutes, then settles in nicely. It’s the perfect time of year to enjoy strolls before or after work (or both) with this handsome lad. Like many highly intelligent dogs, Poncho wants to use his big brain in addition to getting daily exercise. He enjoys puzzle toys and working on basic obedience skills. He can’t wait to take classes and be the star pupil! His foster family is helping him learn how to relax by using a mat for downtime where he enjoys chewing on bones or working on a Kong. Poncho is a great fit for families that appreciate and understand smart, engaged herding dogs. He can live with dog-savvy kids roughly 10+, and hopes they enjoy playing fetch! He dreams of a fenced yard and is also well suited to families who keep their dogs safe on leash. He is house and kennel trained. Poncho loves life as an only dog and does well meeting new canine friends for walks and excursions. He tries to gently herd the kitty in his foster home, but we feel he would be more comfortable in a cat-free home. This special dog deserves all the love he puts into the world with his optimistic, upbeat approach to life. If you enjoy the company only a devoted dog can provide, APPLY to adopt Poncho at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Poncho is being fostered in Forest Lake, MN. 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. Poncho's 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.

Story

Meet Nick, a tender-hearted, 4-year-old, 50# Border Collie ready to discover what it feels like to be truly treasured. He is the kind of dog whose gentle presence fills a home with warmth. He's adoring, amorous, and cuddly. If you're looking for a special connection, Nick wants to meet you! Nick’s favorite thing in the whole world is simple: attention from his people. He melts with affection, and happily settles in close once he trusts you. He enjoys getting out for daily walks, with a love of quiet nature trails where he can take in new sights (and smells!) at his own pace. Because his life before rescue was limited, many experiences are still new to him. Nick is optimistic and willing to learn about the world. With patience and reassurance, he’s blossoming beautifully - look at his proud smile in pictures! This handsome guy would thrive in a moderately active home with a calm vibe. People who enjoy including their dog in their daily rhythm are a perfect fit. A fenced yard is ideal, and he can live with a family with a history of keeping dogs safe on leash. He doesn’t require an experienced herding-dog family; he simply needs people who are kind and ready to help him build confidence. He’s good with cats and can live with older kids. While a canine sibling would be a lovely bonus, it’s not required if his humans are engaged with him. Nick is still working on his housebreaking (schedule helps!) and basic obedience skills. He lights up with praise for a job well done. He finds comfort in his crate, and walks better on leash all the time. His foster family describes him as an eager, open-hearted student. If you're looking for a deeply bonded companion, Nick is ready to make up for lost time. He will become the cherished best friend he was always meant to be. Nick is being fostered in Clear Lake, MN (near St. Cloud). 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. Nick's 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.

Story

Update: PENDING ADOPTION! I’m Tully, and I long to be someone’s heart dog. I’m a 5-year-old, 40# Border Collie with a soft spirit, a curious mind, and a love of life’s quieter joys, especially cuddles. If you start humming “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder as you read about me, don’t worry… that’s my theme song following me around like a charming soundtrack. My favorite activities are about time with my family: curling up next to you while you work, resting my head on your leg, or melting into a chest scratch. Rope toys are fun to play with and I recently discovered the fun of chew bones! A daily romp in a safely fenced space would make me very happy, especially if there’s room to trot and sniff the breeze.* Another dog in my new home could be my best friend, but I am so people-focused that being an only dog works for me too. I’m crate-trained (it’s my safe nest) housebroken on a schedule. It’s important you know that I’m working on building my confidence. Loud noises, passing cars, new places, and unfamiliar people startle me. I need time, patience, and gentle reassurance while I learn the world is safe. My main goal is to make my people happy - I rely on them to show me the world in a way that feels safe. The ideal home for me includes calm, kind people. Maybe a laid-back couple who prefers cozy evenings “in.” Older kids who mesh with my relaxed jam would be ok. Someone that will help me explore in small doses. I’m a smart girl and pick up routines quickly. All I really ask for is love, time, and room in your heart. Every day I get braver and I have to say I’m proud of my progress. Give me time to trust you, and I’ll give you everything I have. Soft eyes, loyal devotion, and the kind of companionship that makes me truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for that once-in-a-lifetime connection with a dog, APPLY to adopt Tully at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt *Tully is not a candidate for invisible fencing systems Tully is being fostered in Ames, Iowa. 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.

Story

Sweet Maisie is a 6-year-old, 36# Border Collie with a heart as gentle as her big brown eyes. She is the perfect mid-sized companion and enjoys cuddling, walks, and hanging with her people. Affectionate and friendly with everyone she meets. She greets visitors politely and loves being part of the family without being clingy. Getting out and about is important for Maisie– she has medium energy and wants to stay active. She’s always ready for a stroll or her shift on patrol in the backyard. Once in the house, she is well-behaved and easy to live with. When it’s time to relax, Maisie is right there beside you on the couch, happy to soak up some affection. For a relative newbie to walking on leash, Maisie is doing very well. Squirrels will always catch her eye, but she can be redirected while out on a walk. Watching squirrels from inside the house or monitoring their movements in the yard is her favorite pastime. #1 on her wish list is a fenced yard where she can safely indulge her favorite hobby. Because of her squirrel fixation, we feel a cat-free home would be best for Maisie. Maisie is good with other dogs and meets them politely on walks. She would enjoy a canine roommate or could be an only dog. She’s not too interested in toys yet, except for a good chew bone. She’s learning that car rides can be fun. She is trustworthy loose in the house. She would rather not spend much time in her kennel. Maisie is a smart, gentle soul who’s learning the world can be a safe and happy place. She’s building confidence every day and would thrive with a family that enjoys peaceful walks, quiet companionship, and plenty of love. Older kids would likely suit her just fine. With her good manners, loving nature, and kind heart, Maisie is ready to bring warmth and joy to her forever home. Maisie is being fostered in Richfield, MN. APPLY TO ADOPT Maisie at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt 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.

Story

Boom is a 7-year-old, 48# Border Collie with a heart full of love. He’s affectionate, playful, and always ready to brighten your day with his happy smile. He's eager to please his people, whether that means cuddling on the couch, being out and about to see new things, or just being a 4-legged best friend. Boom's favorite things: -Getting love and affirmation from his people -Exploring the world on daily walks -Relaxing in his crate (his safe space!) Boom is new to living inside a house. He tries hard to be brave and make his family proud. He's looking for a patient, gentle family to help him develop into his true self. He didn't get to go places and see new things in his prior life, and he's eager to make up for lost time. If Boom had a theme song, it would be “Come Fly With Me” by Frank Sinatra. He’s ready to start a whole new life! Boom will thrive in a moderately active home that understands herding breeds. When he wants attention, he may nip at clothing -his family will need to redirect this behavior. Nature walks through the woods are helping him learn about walking on leash. He can live with older kids (youngsters are too busy for him). He doesn’t need a canine sibling, but he’d be fine sharing space with another friendly dog. He is successfully living with kitties in his foster home. Each day, Boom gets closer to the dog that lives in his beautiful, courageous and loving heart. He can't wait to be someone's loyal, affectionate companion! Boom is being fostered in Clear Lake, MN (near St. Cloud). 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. Boom's adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax.
