Story
Name:  Kip Age:  4.5 years Gender:  Male Breed:  Border Collie  Weight:  37 lbs Dog friendly:  Yes Cat friendly:  Yes- dog-savvy cat's please who like to play! Child friendly: Yes- older considerate children, please House trained:  Yes Crate trained:  Yes Energy level:  Moderate  Temperament:  Friendly, Affectionate, Eager to Please Home Requirements:  Not rental  appropriate  Adoption Fee:  $275+tax To adopt, go to: www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family: Kip is a sweet, affectionate boy who has overcome a difficult past and is ready to shower his forever family with love! Despite having been abandoned, Kip has shown us nothing but kindness and trust. He shows zero signs of aggression and is incredibly cuddly - he'll be your constant companion and shadow. He came to us a bit anxious at first, but adjusted to our home quickly and has really blossomed. Kip is whip-smart and attentive, already knowing "sit," "down," and "shake" - and he's always eager to learn more. He listens really well and is a joy to have around. He gets along great with both our resident dogs. This boy is always ready to go go go! He has moderate to active energy and would thrive with an active family who can give him regular exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of adventures. He's both house trained and crate trained, which makes him an easy houseguest. Kip gets a little sad and nervous when someone leaves the house. We're still working on his excitement when new people come over because he just loves meeting everyone. With his intelligence and willingness to learn, we know he'll continue to improve with consistency and positive reinforcement. Kip deserves a patient, loving home that can provide him with structure, activity, and all the affection he's been missing. About Me: Hi, I'm Kip! I'm a 4.5-year-old boy who's ready to leave my past behind and focus on all the adventures ahead. I'm a smart and friendly guy who loves to learn new things and make my people proud. I know several commands already and I'm always watching for the next cue - I really want to be a good boy! I have plenty of energy for adventures, playtime, and outdoor fun - I'm basically ready to go at a moment's notice! But I also love snuggle time, and I'll happily curl up right next to you (okay, maybe on top of you) whenever possible. Personal space? Never heard of it! I get along wonderfully with other dogs, so if you have furry friends at home, we'll be best buddies in no time. What I really need is a family who can give me the love and security I've been craving. I promise to give you my whole heart in return. I'm looking for an active, patient family who can help me continue building my confidence and teach me even more cool tricks. Are you ready for a loyal, loving companion who will never leave your side?      February 8, 2026, 2:02 pm

Story
Name: Sherlock Age: Puppy DOB: 10/11/2025 Gender: male Breed: Aussie / Collie mix Weight: 18 lbs Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: yes Child friendly: Yes. Older children. He currently loves to jump up to say hi House trained: in progress, puppy Crate trained: yes Energy level: Puppy Temperament: loving, playful, curious, smart Requirement: Not rental appropriate  Adoption Fee: $525+tax To adopt, go to:  www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html Before he ever had the chance to learn what home truly meant, Sherlock was left behind. Now he’s safe, cared for, and ready to discover what it feels like to be chosen, loved, and part of a family forever. From the Foster Family: Sherlock was dumped at a Walmart parking lot and was wandering along the highway when a wonderful woman stopped and picked him up. He is an Aussie mix and very true to his breed. He loves to explore and will happily play with any dog that is willing to play with him. At about 14 weeks old, he is just like a baby—full of curiosity, energy, and joy. He will play hard, explore everything around him, and then settle in for a well-earned nap. Sherlock sleeps in his kennel overnight and does very well. In the morning, we head straight outside where he goes potty right away, and with a consistent schedule he should be easy to fully house train. He loves finding things to chew on, so having appropriate chew toys will help keep him busy and happy. He is full of life, eager to learn, and always ready for the next adventure. His ideal family would be one that understands herding breeds and enjoys staying active. Please fill out an application and come meet Sherlock. He will happily greet you with puppy kisses. About Me: I am told I am in Minnesota, and all I can say is it’s not Kansas anymore—actually Alabama. The white stuff on the ground is very cold and makes my feet hurt, but I’m told it will get better. I love my foster home. There are five other dogs here and I get to play with most of them. I love sniffing around, finding new things to play with, and playing tug of war with a stuffed animal and another foster dog. I’m looking for a family that can keep up with my puppy energy and take me on lots of adventures as I grow and learn. If you think we might be a good match, please fill out an application and let’s meet. Thanks for looking at my bio. Sherlock  February 5, 2026, 11:14 am

Story
Meet Indie! She's in need of rehoming. She is spay, has her rabies shot and is microchipped. 2 years old and 50 pounds. She is a very smart very loving dog! Best suited for someone who will be able to keep her mentally and physically engaged. She is high energy! She is house trained and kennel trained. Even though she’s high energy she loves to be a couch potato with her human too. She does ok with other dogs, most dogs she likes but occasionally there’s one she can’t stand. She should be monitored around other dogs. She has displayed a short temper with some of them. She seems to be respectful of cats. We’ve had large groups over for football parties etc. she does awesome! I’m not sure about little kids. She is a sensitive soul. So if you get upset with her or use gruff words she reacts immediately. She is not destructive. She’s very athletic and LOVES water!

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.
