Story
Hi there! I'm Rex, and I'm currently scouting for a new permanent teammate. My previous owner passed away, so I'm looking for a fresh start with a family that appreciates a professional-grade snuggler. A Little About Me: -The Social Director: I've had a dog sibling by my side almost my whole life. I'm a huge fan of other dogs - having a buddy around makes my tail wag twice as fast. -Ball is Life: If you have a ball, we are best friends. I will fetch until the sun goes down (and then maybe a few more times in the dark). -Kitchen Supervisor: I take my job seriously. If you're in the kitchen, I am sitting right next to you. You know, just in case you need me to taste-test some falling bacon. -The "Bedtime Snack" Enthusiast: My favorite part of the day? The pre-bedtime treat. It's a non-negotiable part of my evening bedtime routine. My "Work in Progress" List: -I like to bark at passing cars. I'm just making sure they know the speed limit! -The crate: not a fan. I'd much rather be out where the action (and the snacks) are. -I'm a total gentleman on walks! As for kids? I haven't met many yet, so I'm still deciding if they're as cool as dogs. I'm a sweet loyal boy who just wants to be part of the "pack" again. Could your kitchen floor be my new favorite spot?

Story
🐾 Meet Brit 💖 📍 Age: 4 years ⚖️ Weight: 28 lbs 🐾 Breed: Border Collie 🐶 Dog Friendly: Yes, requires a calm canine companion 🐱 Cat Friendly: Unknown 👶 Kid Friendly: Yes, but adult-only home preferred 🚽 Potty Trained: Yes, good on a schedule 🏠 Crate Trained: Does well being left loose in the house when left alone 🌳 Fenced Yard: Yes, physical fence required 🦴 Training: Leash trained, rides well in the car 🏡 Best Home Fit: adults-only household, apartment-friendly, and great companion for seniors Brit is an easygoing, calm presence who’s ready to settle into a peaceful, loving home. After navigating life on her own, she’s learned to appreciate the simple things: a soft place to nap, some gentle attention, and a safe spot to lounge inside or out. She’ll greet you at the door with a wagging tail, but she’s not demanding—she comes to you when she wants affection and is content to snooze the day away. On walks, Brit is a dream. She stays right by your side at any pace and enjoys exploring the world calmly and confidently. She tolerates other dogs and does well with children, but her happiest life will be with a calm fur sibling in a quiet adult home. Brit recently had one eye removed after an unfortunate porcupine encounter, but she’s recovering beautifully and has shown zero aggression toward other animals while in care. 💵 Adoption Fee: $495

Story
Blue is a 5 yo Border Collie who loves to chase tennis balls, go for walks and to get belly rubs. Even though typically an active breed, he is quite calm and enjoys naps. Blue is also smart, loyal, and affectionate. He readily goes to his kennel when asked and is very loving toward his foster mom, contentedly following her around the house throughout the day. Blue came to rescue after his owner passed away, and previously thrived as an only dog. Blue is currently becoming more comfortable with his foster’s dogs, but this is still a new experience for him. To get to his healthiest weight, Blue should get plenty of exercise as part of his daily routine. Looking for a new best buddy? This may be your guy! Age: 5 yo Weight: 40 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: older kids only Potty trained: yes Crate trained: yes Adoption fee: $495.00

Story
Meet your new BFF! Pongo is a 31# Border Collie mix born in September 2025. He is a fluffy bundle of heart and humor. With his cuddly coat, curious mind, and delightfully goofy (if slightly ungraceful!) charm, Pongo brings smiles wherever he goes. He has the smarts of a Border Collie and the easy-going love of life of a larger breed dog. We're not sure what he's mixed with, but it would be hard to find a nicer puppy. Pongo’s favorite treasure is his beloved bone, which he proudly carries around the house. He has a medium energy level and enjoys being outside (especially in fresh snow!). Adventures are one of his favorite things: he’s curious, social, and excited to meet new friends of any age. He’s learning to walk nicely on leash and can’t wait to take obedience classes - he heard about the treats! Pongo wants a family committed to continuing his training and socialization so he grows up to be an excellent canine citizen of the world. When unsure, Pongo may bark, but he is easily redirected. Slow introductions and positive experiences visibly build his confidence. Once you see his proud smile and prance for a job well done, you won’t forget it! At home, Pongo is happiest in a calm, settled environment with a predictable routine. When uncomfortable, he retreats to his crate or a quiet space. He does well with kids that can handle a silly large puppy, and lives peacefully with a cat. He gets along great with other dogs when allowed to meet them properly. He could easily be an only dog if he has regular opportunities for playtime and outings with other friendly pups. Pongo is housebroken on a consistent schedule and settles nicely in a crate with a good chew. He would love a fenced yard and is also suited for a family that keeps dogs safe on leash. He is a candidate for invisible fencing with professional training when he's a bit older. He’s a wonderful companion; chill, affectionate, and ready to find a family that wants to include him in everything they do. Could Pongo be your perfect match? APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Pongo is being fostered in Brooklyn Park, MN. Pongo's adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. He is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He will be neutered at the age of approximately 6 months. The cost of this procedure is included in his adoption fee. 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.
