Story
Meet Bridger, Georgie, Duke, Bennie, Violet, and Posie: six irresistible puppies ready to bring energy, joy, and a whole lotta love into their forever homes! Born in early February 2026 and around 8#, this adorable crew of four boys and two girls are Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mixes, already showing the intelligence and spirit their breeds are known for. They are growing fast and learning more about the world every day.
These pups are the perfect blend of curious, brave, and sweet. They bounce happily from one adventure to the next, whether it’s exploring the outdoors, chasing after a toy, or snuggling up with their favorite humans after playtime. They’re especially fascinated by toys that move or dispense treats - anything that challenges their clever minds!
The Bridgerton pups are looking for active, engaged families who are excited to include a dog in all of life’s adventures. Hikes, road trips, backyard games are all on the table. Their energy level is exactly what you’d expect from puppies: enthusiastic play and deep naps. They will be active pups who require daily exercise to stay healthy. They will thrive with people who can provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation, and ideally, some experience with herding breeds.
They’re still babies, so they’re working on all the basics: house training, crate training, and leash skills are all in progress. They’ll need committed families willing to take obedience classes and continue socialization to ensure they grow into well-rounded adult dogs. They are getting exposed to the big wide world and look forward to more positive interactions with people, places, and other pups.
These pups would do best with older kids who understand puppy manners. While they’d likely enjoy a canine sibling, it’s not a requirement for every pup. They need frequent potty breaks; please make sure your application details your schedule.
Bridger & Georgie are red & white males, Duke & Bennie are black & white males, and Violet and Posie are black and white females.
If you’re ready for a smart, affectionate, adventure-loving companion, one of these six might just be your perfect match!
The puppies are being fostered in the greater Minneapolis area and in Rochester, MN. APPLY to adopt at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt
Our puppy adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. Pups are up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. They will be spayed or neutered and microchipped at the age of roughly 6 months. The cost of this procedure is included in the adoption fee. 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.
