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, 48# Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix (best guess), and I'm proof that growing older means you appreciate the good things in life. My theme song is "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. Once you meet me, you'll understand why! I love a nice, leisurely walk, followed by a fluffy dog bed where I can stretch out and relax. I'm also an enthusiastic fan of pets, attention, and giving kisses to my favorite people. My foster family says I'm the perfect dog! I read the room like a pro: my fun, puppy-like energy comes out when it's time to play. Laying low while you're busy is no problem at all. I'm easy-peasy. 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. 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. Best in a home without kitties or small animals I would interact with (chickens, ducks). 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 without worrying. My fosters are helping me lose a few remaining extra pounds - boy do I feel good! You might notice I got a big haircut. That was part of the 'feel better' plan too - my mats are gone! One of my pictures shows my beautiful coat that 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 family will gain a little happiness every single day because I have plenty to give away! 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 getting to a healthy weight and time to settle with her new family 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. 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
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.

Story
This gorgeous Border Collie is Annie, a sensitive soul who is discovering that the world is a pretty wonderful place. She is learning to play, choosing toys from the toybox, enjoying outings and becoming more confident every day. Her favorite place in the world is curled up as close as possible to her person on the couch. She is 6 years old and 34#. Easy to live with and unassuming, Annie isn’t looking for a busy life. Her ideal home is with a patient, kind family that will give her a calm, predictable home. When she feels safe, she shines as the amazing companion she was always meant to be. When Annie loves you, she gives you her whole heart. She is delightfully smart, eager to do the right thing, and beginning to work on basic commands. She has been around dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels: she has great dog skills. Kitties are a-ok, and older, respectful children are too. Annie is house-trained, crate trained (trustworthy loose in the house) and lives for daily walks. Annie will thrive with a family who understands that sensitive dogs need a little extra time to feel safe. Her best fit is a quiet rural or suburban home rather than a noisy, busy city or apartment. She asks for a fenced yard or a family that can keep her safe on leash. She’s the ideal companion for people that enjoys time at home, being together as a family. She must have a friendly canine sibling in her new home to show her the ropes and provide steady companionship. If you are looking for a devoted shadow, a gentle companion, and a dog whose trust will feel like a true gift, beautiful Annie is looking for you too! Annie is being fostered in Plymouth, MN. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Her adoption fee is $450 plus Minnesota tax. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.

Hi there! I’m Mint, a 2-year-old, 34# Border Collie with a big heart, a clever mind, and an impressive talent for running victory laps around the yard with my favorite toy. I’m medium energy, easy to live with and ready to find my very own home. My favorite place in the world is wherever my person is. I’m a devoted, affectionate girl who loves being close to the humans I trust. Tummy rubs and cuddling beside you on the couch are my favorite. You’ll see the real me when I feel safe, connected, and included in your life. I’m a sensitive soul and ask for a gentle approach, patience, and a predictable schedule help me shine. I enjoy walks on leash, romping around a securely fenced yard and carrying toys from place to place. I’m intelligent and engaged and fully enjoy one-on-one time with my person playing or learning something new. That’s all it takes to be well on our way to becoming a terrific team! I am kind and gentle with the older dogs in my foster home, and would enjoy having a playful canine sibling who wants some company. I’m reliably housebroken and prefer to take care of business in a fenced area rather than on leash. I’m also more comfortable in an exercise pen than a traditional crate at home. A few things to know about me: I’m not especially fond of men at first, but with time and familiarity, I can learn to trust them. Initially, I would do best with a woman as my primary caregiver. A quieter rural or suburban home with a consistent routine would suit me beautifully. I could live with older, respectful kids. Not sure what I would think of cats. Could you be the person who helps me feel secure, discover new adventures, and enjoy all the cuddles a girl could want? I have a whole lot of love to give, and I’m ready to share it with someone special. Mint is being fostered in Brainerd, MN.

Story
Hi there! I’m Buddy, a 2-year-old, 26-pound Border Collie/Aussie-ish mix. Trust me when I say that to know me is to love me. If you’re looking for a sweet, joyful, energetic best pal who comes with plenty of enthusiasm and ready to give kisses, you found him. I'm also rather cute! People are my favorite things, followed by playing with other dogs, toys, treats, and attention. I’m an active guy with a nice “off switch” - while I’m always up for an adventure, I also know how to settle down and enjoy quality cuddle time. In fact, I’m pretty sure I was born to be a lap dog. Just call me Snuggle Buddy! I’d love an active home with people that will keep my brain and my body active: anything you do, I’m happy to join. Spending time together is what matters most. A fenced yard would be wonderful, and I’d be thrilled to have a canine sibling. That said, I could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. I would be ok with school-aged kids that are dog-savvy and always supervised when we're together, but no kitties please! I walk pretty well on leash, and don’t worry- I will keep the squirrels away! I ride quietly in the car while crated. Speaking of my crate, it’s not exactly my first choice of destinations, but I’ll happily settle in for some down time. I’ve met lots of adults, including the team at the vet who gave me an excellent report card! I’m great with other dogs, bikes, and everyday sights and sounds. Right now, I’m working on basic obedience skills and boy do I love it. I’m super smart, toy- and treat-motivated, and I really, really want to please my people. Learning is totally my jam. I will alert you to visitors approaching, which means I will be best in a single family home. I’m easy to live with, and ready to be your very best friend. I can’t wait to meet my new family and embark on our life together. I will make them laugh every day and wonder how they ever lived without me.

Story
Cupcake is a delight! Fondly known as Cece for short, this 36#, 12.5-year-old Sheltie and Border Collie mix 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 Cece is easy. She's friendly, affectionate, confident, curious and observant. She wants to be close to her people, joining in on whatever they are doing. Whether its accompanying them on a leisurely stroll, going out on the pontoon, or simply lounging nearby for ear and butt scratches, Cece enjoys being part of the family. She is a certified cook's assistant in the kitchen! 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 prefers to be the canine center of attention in her new family. She meets other dogs outside her home without any issue at all, and she lives peacefully with kitties... even naps alongside her feline friends. Because quick movements can startle her, Cupcake would do best in a home without young children. 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. See more videos of her playing in the yard at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX07iF3qnQnU APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Cupcake is being fostered in Lindstrom, MN. Cupcake's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor. She is spayed and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines.

I need a temp foster November 4-9. I am lookin for a foster or my forever family! If you can foster me, please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org Hi, my name is Fiesta Hansen and I am from Arkansas! Hi, I’m Fiesta—but my foster family calls me Fi-Fi! I’m a sweet puppy who is happiest when I’m right by your side. Whether we’re heading outside for an adventure, playing around the house, or settling in for a cozy evening, I just want to be wherever my people are. I absolutely love exploring outside and I’m already doing a great job on a leash. There are so many exciting smells, sights, and sounds to investigate, and I’m always ready to see what’s around the next corner! I’ve got plenty of puppy energy and can happily play for hours. But I also know how to be a good roommate. I live with an older canine brother, and when he decides it’s time to relax, I’m respectful of his space and can settle down too. I love having a canine friend to play with, but I’m also perfectly happy hanging out with my humans. And when the day’s adventures are over? That’s when my favorite activity begins: cuddling. I am unbelievably soft and love curling up next to my people. My foster family says I make the perfect personal warmer—and honestly, I think they’re right. Even better, I’ve already checked two big puppy boxes: I’m fully potty trained and crate trained! I’m ready to bring my playful personality, sweet heart, and ridiculously soft cuddles to my forever family. If you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy who can also turn into the world’s coziest cuddle bug at the end of the day, I might just be your girl. I can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Hi, my name is Bennie and I am from Arkansas! Bennie, who we have been affectionately calling Mac or Big Mac, is a sweet boy who thoroughly loves his walks and does great on a leash. He is very smart and has already learned commands like "sit" and "kennel." He is a high-energy pup who is always on the move and ready to play! As a Collie mix, he displays natural herding tendencies and likes to herd me around, so a home without small children would likely be the best fit for him. While I have cats in the house, Bennie's energetic personality means they tend to keep their distance for now.

These pups are in Mound, Minnesota too!

Burt is a 45# Australian Cattle Dog mix dressed in a Border Collie suit. Do not mistake this little sporty spitfire for a calm, thoughtful Border Collie.

Roughly 3 years old, Burt is old enough to know better and too young to care. He learns quickly and loves a challenge! He likes to climb ladders, walk on his hind legs for apples, and forage in the garden. This makes him a good candidate for circus life or living on the lam. Burt also loves to swim and play tug. There is very little he doesn't like: he puts his all into everything he does. In Burt's foster home, he lives with two other dogs, cats, and teenage kids. Burt has learned how to be respectful with all of them. Burt is used to being crated at night and has excellent obedience and wonderful recall. He would love to continue learning in any setting: with an avid hiker, runner, or participating in rally, obedience, agility, dock diving... anything that involves action. He is the kind of dog who needs a person to be his leader and help him live up to his potential. Truly, the sky is the limit! Burt's perfect leader is fair and has experience with pushy/driven/busy dogs, time to work with him, and is not afraid to say no when the situation warrants it. If you are looking for a dog to be your personal sidekick, Burt is your guy. There is literally nothing he cant do if he understands the mission. APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Burt is being fostered in St. Joseph, MN. His adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Upon adoption, all 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 in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Story
Cayden is a 5 yr old, 43 lb Australian Shepherd who was never supposed to make it this far, and now he’s ready to discover what he’s been missing. Born with a dangerously narrow heart valve, Cayden’s early years were spent living a very sheltered life. No rough play. No excitement. No adventures with other dogs. His family did everything they could to protect him, never knowing if a moment of exertion might be too much for his heart. But Cayden proved them wrong. Five years later, his heart was stronger, and he became a candidate for surgery. He underwent a pulmonic balloon valvuloplasty, and it was a success! His heart is now strong enough for him to experience the world he was once protected from. The challenge: the world is very new to him. Cayden is now learning some of the lessons other dogs learned as puppies. Bikes, strollers, lawnmowers, unfamiliar people and dogs can leave him wondering, “What am I supposed to do with that?” He’s making wonderful progress, learning to look to his person for guidance when something is unfamiliar. His confidence is growing right along with trust in his people. He has discovered some pretty wonderful things along the way. Cayden loves car rides, puzzle toys and lick mats, and he has a special weakness for people who get down on the floor. Get low, and there’s a good chance Cayden will come over to become your new best friend. And get this: thunderstorms and fireworks don’t seem to bother him much at all! Because Cayden missed those early experiences with other dogs, he needs to be the only dog in his home. He likes dogs, but he doesn’t yet understand how to share his home and live cooperatively with them. Cayden is housebroken, has lovely house manners, and is ready for a person who will continue showing him that the world is a safe and wonderful place. After five years of being protected from life, Cayden finally has the chance to live it. 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
Hi there! I’m Buddy, a 2-year-old, 26-pound Border Collie/Aussie-ish mix. Trust me when I say that to know me is to love me. If you’re looking for a sweet, joyful, energetic best pal who comes with plenty of enthusiasm and ready to give kisses, you found him. I'm also rather cute! People are my favorite things, followed by playing with other dogs, toys, treats, and attention. I’m an active guy with a nice “off switch” - while I’m always up for an adventure, I also know how to settle down and enjoy quality cuddle time. In fact, I’m pretty sure I was born to be a lap dog. Just call me Snuggle Buddy! I’d love an active home with people that will keep my brain and my body active: anything you do, I’m happy to join. Spending time together is what matters most. A fenced yard would be wonderful, and I’d be thrilled to have a canine sibling. That said, I could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. I would be ok with school-aged kids that are dog-savvy and always supervised when we're together, but no kitties please! I walk pretty well on leash, and don’t worry- I will keep the squirrels away! I ride quietly in the car while crated. Speaking of my crate, it’s not exactly my first choice of destinations, but I’ll happily settle in for some down time. I’ve met lots of adults, including the team at the vet who gave me an excellent report card! I’m great with other dogs, bikes, and everyday sights and sounds. Right now, I’m working on basic obedience skills and boy do I love it. I’m super smart, toy- and treat-motivated, and I really, really want to please my people. Learning is totally my jam. I will alert you to visitors approaching, which means I will be best in a single family home. I’m easy to live with, and ready to be your very best friend. I can’t wait to meet my new family and embark on our life together. I will make them laugh every day and wonder how they ever lived without me.
