Story

Meet Honey, a 10-year-old, 35# Border Collie with a soft heart, soulful eyes, and the gentle wisdom only a seasoned companion can offer. This sweet, sensitive “country girl” is happiest when life moves at a peaceful pace. Lovingly known as Sweet Pea and Honey Dew, she is a true “people” person. Her favorite place in the world is right beside her human. Honey’s joys are beautifully simple: mealtime (she never misses it!), quiet sniff-walks in the woods, and trotting out to “check the perimeter” of the yard. She adores respectful, easy-going canine friends and would prefer one in her new family. We think she would befriend kitties, given her sweet disposition. Afternoons spent snuggling on the couch are her favorite. Her theme song is “I Think I Love You” by David Cassidy: once she bonds, she loves with her whole heart. As a senior girl, Honey's energy is steady and balanced. She’s reliably housebroken, comfortable in a crate for short periods, and wonderful on leash in quiet, wooded areas. Loud noises like traffic and city sounds are frightening for her: she prefers the hush of nature to the rush of cars. Honey would thrive in a rural or very quiet home where she’s accompanied outdoors, not just “let outside”. She’ll happily supervise gardening or peaceful outdoor chores, join a quiet trail walk or relax while you read a good book. Honey would do best in an adult home with a patient, emotionally attuned person or couple who offers affection at her speed. To show her true self, she needs a balance of gentle encouragement, choices, and a sense of partnership, never force. At the same time, she doesn’t want to be coddled. More than anything, Honey is looking for a balanced human who walks quietly on the earth, laughs easily, and returns the deep, steady joy she so freely gives. If you’re seeking a tender-hearted companion for life’s quieter adventures, Sweet Pea is waiting. Honey is being fostered in Minnetrista, MN. Honey's adoption fee is $350 + MN sales tax. She is spayed, 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, I’m Cap, but my friends call me Dapper Capper. I’m a 4-year-old, 40-pound Border Collie mix with a sharp mind and an even sharper eye for snacks. If you’re looking for an attentive, playful, athletic, intelligent sidekick… you just found him! If we’re being honest, food is my number one passion. After that? Playtime, especially outside. Give me a soccer ball or toy in a fenced yard, and you’ll be amazed at my footwork, delivering it right back to you, as long as it’s the toy I chose! (You should know I’m considering a career in professional fetch, so I’m particular about the tools of my trade.) Around the house, I easily relax and lounge around for a while. After that, I want some action. My perfect family will include me in their active lifestyle of walking or hiking, maybe causal runs. I’m always up for adventures, including eating out with my foster family and a visit to "grandma" in another state! Car rides are amazing and my nose loves new places to sniff around. Sometimes new spaces are a tiny bit scary, but with positive words and maybe some treats, I gain confidence quickly. I’d do best as your one-and-only dog. No kitties, please. I could live with older kids roughly 12+. A herding breed savvy family would be ideal: they will appreciate my unique combination of smarts and playful energy. Training is a breeze – I’m curious and smart. I’m housebroken, crate nicely, know basic obedience commands, and have a nice recall. I’m about 75% trustworthy around counters and trash cans (remember, I LOVE food). If you are looking for a fun-loving, loyal adventure partner who can chill hard and play even harder, I’m your guy. APPLY to adopt me at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Cap is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN. Cap's adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines.

Story

Mae is a one-year-old mixy mix with a ton of personality packed into her petite 25-pound frame. If you’re looking for a happy, confident, up-for-anything companion, Mae is your girl! Being with her people is her favorite thing on the planet. "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors is the PERFECT theme song for this cutie! Playful, loving, curious, and fearless, Mae entertains herself with toys, adores meeting new friends and is happy being outside doing just about anything. Obedience classes will be right up her alley – she’s a smart cookie! After she burns off some energy with a walk, she’s more than happy to curl up on the couch or a dog bed and relax. Mae has what we would call “medium-plus” energy. She is a great fit for an active family who wants to include her in walks, hikes, or adventures like camping and road trips... and she's the perfect size for all of it! She is housebroken, rides well in the car, and is learning to relax in her crate. She does better each day on leash and even offers to walk herself (see video). She enjoys children and is learning to keep four on the floor for polite greetings. Mae is learning to use her teeth appropriately (no play biting) and which toys are hers to play with. Older kids are the best fit. She does well with other dogs after a minute to check them out. She's living with cats, and largely ignores them in her foster home. Mae is a very sweet, happy pup who will be an amazing companion. We are not sure she could be any cuter! She is ready to find a family of her very own. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt. Mae is being fostered in Rochester, MN. Her adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. She is spayed, 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

Meet Celexa Celexa’s story starts out a little heartbreaking—but her future is nothing but bright. This sweet girl was rescued in northern Minnesota after being found in a trash compactor alongside her siblings, with no mom in sight. She was tiny, fragile, and needed to be bottle-fed just to survive. Thanks to lots of love and care, Celexa has grown into a happy, affectionate pup who’s ready to find her forever home. Celexa is a total cuddlebug at heart. Her favorite place to be is right next to you—whether that means snuggled up on the couch, curled at your feet, or quietly keeping you company. She has a gentle, loving personality that makes her an easy companion for cozy days at home. She also has a playful side! Celexa loves romping around with other dogs and would do great in a home with a canine buddy. She gets along well with cats, too, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. Celexa already knows how to sit and is working hard on her potty training—she’s a smart girl who’s eager to learn, especially when treats are involved! She’s very food motivated, which will make training a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. Celexa has come so far from her rough start, and now all she needs is a loving home where she can continue to thrive. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will shower you with love and snuggles, Celexa might just be your perfect match. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Meet Coraline (Cora), A bright and joyful 4-month-old Red Heeler mix with a big personality packed into a puppy-sized body! This sweet girl’s favorite place to be is as close to you as possible, preferably attempting to squeeze herself right onto your lap for snuggles. Cora is a smart pup who is already potty trained and comfortable in her crate, giving her a fantastic head start for her age. Like any young puppy, she’s still learning the meaning of “no,” but her eagerness to please and quick mind make her a great student. When it comes to meeting new people, Cora’s enthusiasm shines, she’ll happily bounce up to say hello and share her excitement. With a little continued training, she’ll polish those greetings into perfect manners. She loves squeaky toys, chasing balls, and true to puppy form, has a soft spot for shoes if they’re left within reach! Cora ignores cats and would do wonderfully in a home with children who can match her playful, affectionate energy. She also sports a docked tail and a unique ear coloring that makes her stand out in the cutest way. If you’re looking for a loving, clever, and spirited companion who will keep you smiling every day, Coraline is ready to wiggle her way right into your heart, and your lap! 🐾 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.
