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. 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
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. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Her adoption fee is $450 plus Minnesota tax. Mint 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.

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. 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.

Dusk is a collie border, cattle dog mix, We had adopted him from a humane society, since he is a herding breed, he tends to nip. Which has made our living situation difficult. He is a sweet boy and enjoys running and burning energy. He is kennel trained and potty trained. He does well with other dogs; it’s unknown how he does with cats. He understands most commands, and does very well on walks.

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.

Story
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. Burt's high-octane energy is what makes him fun. He believes he is invincible and can do anything. His foster family fondly calls him Crash. 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.
