Story
Hi there! I’m Francis. My friends call me Frankie, and I hope you’ll be one of them soon! I’m a Border Collie mix, almost 1 year old and 40#. I'm a joyful, happy guy and love making my people smile and laugh every day. I can't wait to meet my future family. My foster mom says I’m responsive, alert, and active. I’m happiest when I have something to do, especially if it involves a good chase or game of tug - they say I have lots of toy drive! I love using my brain and my body every day. I’d thrive in a home that is active and adventurous, where I can join in on hikes, games, and daily fun. I can’t wait to take my family to obedience classes! I am the life of the party wherever I go. People always stop to to ask about my huge ears (you sure can't miss 'em!). I’m confident and friendly in new situations, and love being part of the action. As you can see by my video montage, I'm a master at creating my own fun! (https://youtu.be/EHd4kHcuFq8) I’m housebroken and a total angel in my crate. I’m still learning about leash walking, but being outside exploring is one of my favorite pastimes. My top priority is a fenced yard; running with abandon and critter chasing are two of my favorite things to do. (My foster mom thinks I would chase cats, so no kitties for me!) Another dog in my forever home is also high on my priority list, ideally one who’s confident and can show me the ropes. A family that understands herding or very bright dogs is ideal - they will appreciate my smarts, energy, and independence. If you’re looking for a sharp, cheerful, hard-working partner to share your adventures and keep you on your toes, I’m your guy! Frankie is being fostered in Mound, MN. APPLY to adopt him 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. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul. Francis' adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. 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 JJ, an 8-year-old, 40# Border Collie with a heart as soft as his beautiful coat. To meet him is to love him! This tender, gentle and sensitive boy is as easily to live with as it gets. Sweet. Loving. He is looking for a family that wants to pet him, play with his toys, go on walks, and let him follow them around the house with quiet devotion. In return, he is an amazing confidante and companion that brightens every day. JJ’s favorite things are all about connection. He absolutely lights up when told he’s a good, brave boy. He is happiest when settled at your feet. JJ needs a fenced yard attached to his home for exploring and bathroom breaks - he isn’t pottying on lead just yet. He loves his crate, is housebroken, walks nicely on leash and is friendly to visitors. Out in the world, he watches other dogs and people with interest. He may startle at loud noises, but recovers quickly. JJ's foster family asks him to try “one hard thing” each day, understanding that some things (like car rides) are challenging for him... and could be too much that day. They are moving at JJ's pace to build trust, accepting that some days he is just not up to it. All these positive experiences are buildings JJ's confidence in his people and his world. The ideal family for JJ is calm and patient. Experience supporting timid dogs would be ideal. JJ is looking for a home with minimal stairs due to weakness in his rear end (walks and playtime are making him stronger all the time!). He doesn’t need a canine sibling, though a quiet, low-key doggie friend would be fine. An adult home or one with older, gentle kids is a good fit for JJ. We are not sure what he would think of cats. We are looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home for JJ. APPLY to FOSTER at: hoabcr.org/volunteer-foster APPLY to ADOPT at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt JJ has arthritis and benefits from daily medications and supplements (gabapentin, carprofen and an Omega-3) to help him feel better. The rescue will supply 3 months of medication (approximately $50/mo) to his adopters. He may wean himself off these meds as he gets stronger and more active. JJ is being fostered in Richfield, 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. We supply our foster and foster-to-adopt homes with all required food, supplies and medication. We hope his fosters will find themselves unable to let him go! In that case, JJ's adoption fee is $250 + 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
Gunnar is amazing. There's no other way to say it! He's a 9 year old, 40# Border Collie that wants to hand his heart to his new family. A gentle soul. Intelligent, sweet, and friendly. He greets new people calmly, with an open heart and eyes that ask “Will you be my friend?” He soaks up affection, snuggling next to you and softly tapping a paw to encourage ongoing pets. His personal heaven is the backyard, where Gunnar rolls in the grass in summer and enjoys sunshine in winter. His contented smile when outside speaks volumes. His foster mom says he is the most well-mannered dog she has ever worked with, which is saying a LOT. He is wonderful with all the dogs he has met, crate trained and also trustworthy safe in the house. He sleeps in the bedroom on a dog bed or in an open crate, but if invited, he will gently snuggle you all night. He walks calmly on a loose leash and loves to see new sights. Gunnar would do best in a low key home with a routine. He was adopted as an only dog and had to come back to us because he missed the presence of another friendly dog in the home. He's never been without a canine sibling... and we want him to have that companionship. Calm, respectful teens who want a friend to help with homework are right up his alley. He will love everyone in his new family with everything he has. Gunnar will be one of the greatest gifts his new family will ever receive. We're saving the "Happy Adoption Day" toy for the day his dreams come true! APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Gunnar is being fostered in Shoreview, MN. Gunnar's adoption fee is $350 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. His smile is even more amazing after his recent full dental check-up and cleaning. 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.

Story
Meet Lucky, a 5-year-old, 45# Border Collie mix (with hints of Sheltie or Husky?) who will be an amazing addition to his new family. He is the kind of dog who makes every day brighter; he’s happy, playful, affectionate, and endlessly charming. He’s got a joyful spirit paired with a calm, steady nature. He’s a pleasure to have around. Lucky is a ball enthusiast through and through. Toss one and you’ll see his eyes light up! He loves to chase, retrieve, and repeat. When it’s time to play indoors, stuffed toys are his jam. He plays hard, with lots of shaking, tossing, and triumphant catches. When the fun winds down, Lucky is more than happy to cuddle up and relax with his people. His foster family swears he has some of the softest fur imaginable, making those snuggle sessions even better. With a medium energy level and a solid off switch, Lucky is well-suited for an active, engaged family that enjoys outdoor adventures but also appreciates a dog who can settle and chill. Daily exercise keeps him healthy – he loves to explore! He walks nicely on leash for neighborhood strolls with his foster canine sibling. Out in the world, he’s calm and friendly; great with people, dogs, school-aged kids, and cats. Lucky is reliably housebroken, learning to enjoy his crate with a little treat bribery, and incredibly smart. What he doesn’t already know, he’ll pick up quickly. A fenced yard is preferred to allow him to play outside, romping in the snow with abandon. A family with herding breed experience would be ideal, because he thrives when he has a job to do and gets the opportunity to use his brain. His theme song is “You’re My Best Friend” by Queen. He truly will be your once-in-a-lifetime best friend. Lucky is being fostered in Champlin, MN. APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit.
