Story
First, his looks catch your eye. Then you learn about his personality and you're hooked! Blaze is a 54#, 5-year-old Border Collie with a sunny personality and a zest for life that's as bright as a perfect summer day. He thinks every day should include a game of fetch or frisbee and plenty of time spent with his favorite people. Happy-go-lucky, affectionate, and adventurous, Blaze loves being part of the action, whether that's a morning walk, a trip to the park, or a backyard barbecue. His energy level is a wonderful balance: he's always ready for fun and activity, and he's equally happy to relax and enjoy downtime with his family afterward. Blaze would thrive with an active, herding breed-experienced family that appreciates both his intelligence and enthusiasm. He walks beautifully on leash without pulling and is well-socialized in the world. He's crate trained and keeps four on the floor. He knows a few basic obedience commands and wants to learn more. With his smarts, a little time and some good treats, and we bet he can learn anything! A fenced yard would be ideal for Blaze so he has room to stretch his legs and enjoy his favorite games. He can happily live as an only dog or with a canine companion. He is a herding dog, which includes nipping at ankles if given the opportunity. Families with older kids are the best fit no littles, please. He likes to check cats out, but is not aggressive. He could live with dog-savvy felines. Blaze will be an even happier boy when he loses roughly 7-8 lbs. If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy who will happily join you for all of life's summer fun, and then curl up nearby when the day is done, Blaze may be your perfect match! APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Blaze is being fostered in Clear Lake, 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
Meet Cupcake, affectionately known as Cece. Simply stated, she is a delight! This 36#, 12.5-year-old Sheltie and Border Collie mix who proves that age is just a number. She has plenty of pep in her step, a lovely prance when she is happiest, and a zest for life that charms everyone she meets. Describing Cupcake is easy. She's friendly, affectionate, confident, curious, observant and just a bit spicy. She wants to be close to her people, joining in on whatever they are doing. Whether its accompanying them on a leisurely stroll, supervising backyard activities, or simply lounging nearby for ear and butt scratches, Cece enjoys being part of the family. Her ideal day includes a couple of walks where she can stop and investigate interesting smells along the way. Her ears perk up, her tail rises proudly, and off she goes, ready to explore the world one sniff at a time. A few tosses of a Frisbee or ball, rolling in the grass, watching birds from the deck, and savoring peanut butter frozen treats are also high on her list of favorites. Cupcake would thrive in a home that appreciates a medium-energy companion. She doesn't need a fenced yard if she can spend time exploring safely on a leash. She's fine with another calm, low-key dog or as the canine center of attention. She does well with cats and even naps alongside her feline friends. Because quick movements can startle her, Cupcake would do best in a home without young children. She prefers to dine alone without concern for another dog trying to get at her food dish. She is completing a 30-day course of doxycycline for Lyme disease as a precaution: she is not symptomatic. She is a healthy, happy girl with lots of love to give. If you're looking for a loyal companion for walks, adventures, and cozy evenings, Cece may be the perfect match. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Cupcake is being fostered in Lindstrom, MN. Cupcake's adoption fee is $250 + MN sales tax. She is spayed 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
Location: Otsego, MN Meet Ari, a handsome Border Collie and German Shepherd mix who is the perfect blend of brains and loyalty. This young pup is already ahead of the curve, boasting full house training, excellent leash manners, and a solid foundation of basic commands. He is already neutered, microchipped, and completely up-to-date on all his vaccinations, making him fully ready to transition into his forever home. True to his heritage, Ari is incredibly smart, alert, and fiercely devoted to his people. Because of his natural protective instincts and selective nature around other dogs, he is looking for a savvy owner who understands working breeds. Ari thrives in a structured environment and would do best as the only pet in a home without small children, where he can receive all the focus and mental stimulation he craves. If you are looking for an active, vigilant, and deeply loyal companion to join you on life's adventures, Ari is ready to be your right-hand man. --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org). Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration).

Story
Hi, my name is Madison and I'm from MN. From the foster: Madison is the life of the party! She’s a happy, social butterfly that thinks everyone should stop and say hi to her. She likes to go for walks and has discovered that she can meet more people this way. Madison sleeps in her crate through the night. Although she may let you know a couple times throughout the night that she’s had enough of her crate and would like to sleep next you. Potty training is in progress. She’s doing better with frequent let outs and getting rewards for doing business outside. Dogs and toys are her favorites. She also likes meeting and playing with the daycare kids next door. I work from home so she’s not crated during the day. Madison has also gone to work with foster mom and, again, enjoys meeting all the new people there. Madison is a sweet girl that will make a great addition to any family. She can’t wait to meet you!

Hi, my name is Brittany and I am from Texas! Brittany is a fun-loving puppy with a big personality. Full of energy, she enjoys long walks, playtime, and then settling in for a well-earned nap. She’s usually the one starting the mischief with her sister and loves roughhousing with her foster brother, Sully. She is wonderful with kids, friendly with strangers, and always ready to make new friends. With her bright smile, expressive eyes, and happy-go-lucky attitude, Brittany brings joy wherever she goes. She would make a great addition to an active family looking for a playful, affectionate, and social companion.

Story
Age: 6/29/2025 Weight: ~40 lbs Dog friendly: Yes (may benefit from another dog in home) Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Meet Nesta! Nesta is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being close to her people. She’s gentle with kids, eager to please, and a quick learner who enjoys training, treats, and enrichment. Once she bonds with you, she’s a loyal little shadow who just wants to be part of your world. Nesta is also a sensitive and observant pup who is still learning to feel confident in the outside world. Busy or unpredictable environments can feel overwhelming for her right now, so she does best with calm, patient guidance and a structured approach. She’s not quite a “take everywhere” dog yet, but she has so much potential with the right support. At home, Nesta is a wonderful companion who enjoys relaxing near her people and settling in her crate when she needs a break which still needs some encouragement sometimes. She does well with visitors and other dogs after a warm-up period and may especially benefit from a confident, well-balanced dog in the home to help her feel more secure. Nesta is looking for a home that can provide a calm, consistent environment and is excited to continue helping her build confidence at her own pace. With time, patience, and love, she will grow into a deeply loyal and rewarding companion. Adoption fee: $250

Date of Birth: Est. 10/2/2025 Dog Friendly: Yes Cat Friendly: Unknown-Not Tested KidFriendly: Unknown-Not Tested Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Meet Apani! Apani is a sweet 6–8 month-old puppy whose name means “butterfly” in Lakota—an especially fitting name for a young dog who is learning to spread her wings and discover the world around her. When she arrived in rescue, she was covered from head to tail in ticks and had clearly endured a rough start. Despite that, Apani has a gentle spirit and is blossoming more each day as she learns that people can be safe and life in a home can feel good. She loves her cozy kennel and settles in happily when it’s time to rest. Apani also enjoys playing with her 4-month-old foster sibling, and her playful puppy side shines when she has another dog to romp with. Apani is looking for a patient, loving family who will continue helping her build confidence and experience all the good things life has to offer. With time and care, this little “butterfly” is sure to grow into a loyal and wonderful companion. Adoption fee: $495

Story
Hi, I’m Cayden. I’m a 5 yr old, 42# Australian Shepherd with luxurious hair, soulful eyes, and a deep love for my people. When we meet, I’ll roll over and let you rub my belly. That’s how you know we are officially friends! I’m a chill guy who likes to see new places with my people and spend time together. My "off switch” means I’m perfectly happy being home and hanging and do not need to train for a marathon. Walking around the neighborhood is my idea of a good time - all those smells! I also enjoy activities like car rides, pontoon adventures, and quality cuddle sessions. I’m cuddly, calm, thoughtful, and just a tiny bit clutsy. Hardwood floors and I are currently in negotiations. (Sometimes my feet go one direction while the rest of me goes another!) I’m friendly with new people and dogs. I could live with another low-key pooch or be the only dog in my home. My foster family thinks cats would be ok for me. Honesty is important in any relationship. You should know that I get distracted by things like fast moving bikes, rollerblades, or very energetic dogs. I may need help managing my big feelings about all that movement. If you’re observant, patient, and understand herding breeds, we’ll do great together. My dream match? Quiet homebodies with kind hearts, no young kids, and lots of love to give. I don’t need a huge yard or nonstop entertainment. I just want my person. Maybe that’s you. So… what do you think? Want to do this "life" thing together? Cayden had a balloon angioplasty on June 16 to help his heart work more efficiently and came through the procedure like a champ! He is excited to meet his forever family and live a full, fun life! Cayden is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN. His 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. As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit.

Story
Hello there! I'm Trinket, a 9-year-old Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as my smile. My theme song is "Take a Chance on Me" by ABBA. All I need is one chance to show you what a wonderful companion I am. Friendly, loyal, eager to please, and always ready to learn something new are great words to describe me. My foster family says I'm a happy, kind soul, which works too. Every person and dog I meet is my new best friend (and that includes folks at the vet's office)! At 62 pounds, there's a lot of me to love right now. I already feel better having lost some weight and am determined to keep going. Like everything in life, I'm approaching my fitness journey with optimistic determination. I'm looking for a family that will help me achieve my healthy weight with lots of fun together along the way. When I'm not busy winning hearts, you'll find me chasing my beloved herding balls, squeaking a favorite toy, or hoping my family might break out the watermelon - yum! My ideal home is on the quieter side with an active spin. I like to spend my days doing things with my favorite people, going for walks, and enjoying plenty of snuggle time. I am great on leash, and love to chase critters if given the opportunity (part of my workout routine). A fenced yard would be fantastic, or consistent leash management works for me too. I can happily live as an only dog or share my home with other canine friends. I've also lived with cats in the past. Calm, respectful children who want to play with me would be great! They tell me I have early kidney disease, which means my food and medications cost about $55/mo. The payback is HUGE: all the love, loyalty, and joy of a world-class wonderful companion. So, what do you say? Take a chance on me! Promise I'm worth it. Trinket is being fostered in East Bethel, MN. His adoption fee is fully sponsored for his lucky forever family. Trinket is also available for Foster-To-Adopt (FTA). FTA provides an opportunity for families to get to know a dog before moving forward with formal adoption. During the foster period, HOABCR supplies everything Trinket needs from food and medication to other supplies (crate, leashes, etc.) and covers all vetting. 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.
