Story
Georgie is an adorable pup ready to bring energy, joy, and a whole lotta love into his forever home! Born in early February 2026 and around 10#, he’s described as adventurous, tenacious, and talkative. He is a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, already showing the intelligence and spirit these breeds are known for. We think he perfected his "puppy dog eyes" look – do you agree?
His foster family thinks Georgie would have been the perfect sidekick for Indiana Jones. (If you’re a fan of the movies, the theme song should be running through your head now!) He’s bold and ready to dive into new activities at a moment’s notice. His favorite things are plush toys, chew bones and any type of ball. He lives life in two speeds: full throttle and cashed out.
He is the perfect blend of curious, brave, and sweet (also cuddly!). He is looking for an active, engaged family who can’t wait to include a dog in all of life’s adventures. Georgie wants to go on hikes, road trips, and do all the things. He wants both physical exercise and mental stimulation and a full life.
He is working on all the basics: house training, crate training, and leash skills are all in progress. Georgie wants to take obedience classes and continue great socialization to ensure he grows into well-rounded, well-mannered adult dog.
Georgie is a super fit for families with herding breed experience. He could live with children who understand puppies have sharp teeth and who can provide consistent, patient guidance. He would love a canine sibling in his new family or could be an only dog with a fully engaged family. He needs frequent potty breaks; please make sure your application details your schedule.
If you’re ready for a smart, affectionate, adventure-loving companion, Georgie might be just the ticket. He is being fostered in Rochester, MN. APPLY to adopt Georgie 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.
