Story
Curious. Bouncy. Gentle. Sweet. Brave. Lasso is a handsome, 2-year-old, 38# Border Collie who is learning that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. At first, he may watch from a distance, quietly taking everything in with thoughtful eyes. With patience, consistency, and kindness, you'll witness something truly special. His confidence blossoms, his playful side emerges, and his affectionate heart shines brighter every day.
Lasso is the perfect companion for a family that appreciates the intelligence and sensitivity of herding breeds. He enjoys daily walks, romping around the yard, and chasing his canine friends in joyful games of tag. When playtime winds down, you'll find him happily sorting through the toy box or curled up with a Kong. If food is involved, Lasso is all in. Treats are the fastest way to his heart.
Lasso is searching for a home that understands trust is mutual, and it is earned with kindness, patience and time. He must have a mature, confident canine sibling in his new home. He seeks out his crate when he needs a quiet place to relax.
His ideal family will provide a daily routine, celebrate every victory, and allow him to move at his own pace. Respectful kids aged 12+ could be a good match. A fully fenced yard is required to allow him a safe place to romp and play. He's working on leash manners and basic obedience, making steady progress every day. We think he would be ok with dog-savvy cats.
The family lucky enough to earn Lasso's love and trust will discover an extraordinary companion. If you are willing to meet him where he is today and be part of his journey, Lasso promises a lifetime of loyalty, quiet companionship. The incredible joy of watching a once-cautious dog become the very best version of himself is impossible to describe.

Lasso is being fostered in Minneapolis, 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.
