Story
We got Buffy from an adoption event about three years ago. My kids fell in love with her right away as she is a very calm and loving dog. A lot of the other dogs there were high energy, Buffy just wanted a lap to lay in and to be pet. Over the last few years she has shown us how big her heart is, she truly does love people. Our kids have grown very attached to her and so has our cats. She loves to go for walks and we also had her routinely in a puppy daycare over the last year that she did great in. She is crate trained at night time. She’s a very smart dog and picks up tricks and behaviors very quickly. She has really been a great dog to have as a family pet. Unfortunately, between a rigorous work and travel schedule, and some other life circumstances, we can no longer keep Buffy and are looking for a great home for her to settle into. She has done great around other dogs. She has done great around cats. And really loves people, including children.

Story
Hi, my name is Baxter and I am from Texas! From his foster: Baxter is a sweet, goofy pup who’s ready to find a family of his very own. He loves being close to his people and is happiest when he can curl up right beside them. He’s playful, toy‑obsessed, and full of puppy charm, but he also settles nicely when it’s time to relax. Baxter has been doing wonderfully with our resident dog and is potty trained. He goes into his kennel easily for meals and treats, and although he may whine a bit when left for longer periods, he settles within about five minutes. He’s learning quickly and eager to please. Baxter would love a doggy sibling to romp around with, but he’d also thrive as a solo pet with a family who gives him plenty of love and attention. He’s a bright, affectionate boy who can’t wait to meet his forever family.

Story
A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by The Wilbur Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $250.00 will be applied during the contract process. Hi, my name is Bentley and I am from Minnesota. From his foster: Bentley is a curious and energetic boy who can be a little timid when he first meets you, but after a couple of days he really starts to get comfortable. He loves to go on walks and run around the yard, play fetch and lay on the couch with you. Bentley is also very receptive to training cues, especially when given a treat. Bentley would thrive with someone who is patient, willing to continue training, and active. Bentley has shown a lot of improvement with his back, he seems to have no issue being pet there anymore. Bentley is also a little sneaky and will try to slip through gaps in the door when he can to go outside and run around, continued training is advised. From the Vet: When Bentley came for his first exam at The BB Vet Center he was sensitive to touch on his back. He doesn't show any signs of pain in his foster home and right now he is only on an omega-3 supplement for joint support and doing very well!

My name is Ms. Pickle and I am from Arkansas! From her foster: Ms. Pickle is a big dill! We have really enjoyed our time with this cuddly gal. Pickle loves squeaker/stuffy toys and giving them little nibbles. She loves kids and is doing great with crate training. We are still working on potty training and a routine/alerting when she needs to go outside, but this clever girl tries very hard and will figure it out quickly in her forever home. Ms. Pickle is a great cuddler with soft fur and a kissable nose, and loves to leap onto the sofa for family snuggles. Ms. Pickle still has puppy curiosity and when she gets the zoomies is very silly; she walks pretty nicely on a leash while exploring the neighborhood. We are still working on introductions with our cats but she is certainly curious about them :) We have relished our time with Ms. Pickle and know she will bring joy to your home!

These pups are in Mound, Minnesota too!

Story
Meet your new BFF! Pongo is a 31# Border Collie mix born in September 2025. He is a fluffy bundle of heart and humor. With his cuddly coat, curious mind, and delightfully goofy (if slightly ungraceful!) charm, Pongo brings smiles wherever he goes. He has the smarts of a Border Collie and the easy-going love of life of a larger breed dog. We're not sure what he's mixed with, but it would be hard to find a nicer puppy. Pongo’s favorite treasure is his beloved bone, which he proudly carries around the house. He has a medium energy level and enjoys being outside (especially in fresh snow!). Adventures are one of his favorite things: he’s curious, social, and excited to meet new friends of any age. He’s learning to walk nicely on leash and can’t wait to take obedience classes - he heard about the treats! Pongo wants a family committed to continuing his training and socialization so he grows up to be an excellent canine citizen of the world. When unsure, Pongo may bark, but he is easily redirected. Slow introductions and positive experiences visibly build his confidence. Once you see his proud smile and prance for a job well done, you won’t forget it! At home, Pongo is happiest in a calm, settled environment with a predictable routine. When uncomfortable, he retreats to his crate or a quiet space. He does well with kids that can handle a silly large puppy, and lives peacefully with a cat. He gets along great with other dogs when allowed to meet them properly. He could easily be an only dog if he has regular opportunities for playtime and outings with other friendly pups. Pongo is housebroken on a consistent schedule and settles nicely in a crate with a good chew. He would love a fenced yard and is also suited for a family that keeps dogs safe on leash. He is a candidate for invisible fencing with professional training when he's a bit older. He’s a wonderful companion; chill, affectionate, and ready to find a family that wants to include him in everything they do. Could Pongo be your perfect match? APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Pongo is being fostered in Brooklyn Park, MN. Pongo's adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. He is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He will be neutered at the age of approximately 6 months. The cost of this procedure is included in his 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.

Story
Handsome Spotsy is a 7-yr old, 45# Border Collie who is as handsome as he is affectionate. His favorite things are being with his people, followed closely by food. He’s a medium energy guy who enjoys walks on leash and playtime in the yard. He’s easy to live with and gives love freely, quickly embedding himself in your life and heart. True to his breed, Spotsy is smart and bonded to his family. He is a thoughtful guy who appreciates time to check out new people before befriending them… and once you’re in, you’re in! Giving him space to soak in new environments is a quick way to Spotsy’s heart. Once he understands what is expected of him, he settles well into a routine and has great house manners. Spotsy was raised with two littermates and their beloved human, who recently passed away. He’s now living in a foster home away from his brother and sister and he is definitely enjoying lots of 1:1 attention from his temporary family. He adores being the center of attention and soaking up all the petting all for himself. People that are around a lot are his favorite. The ideal home for Spotsy enjoys daily neighborhood strolls or excursions to new parks, taking their faithful four-legged sidekick along for the ride. They are compassionate, patient people who will give him lots of attention. He would be thrilled to be the only pup in his new home or could live with an easy-going canine companion. A calm home with a settled routine is ideal. Sudden movements startle him, so teens and adults are the best fit. We’re not sure how he would be with kitties. Families with experience keeping dogs safe on leash are welcome to apply. APPLY to adopt Spotsy at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Spotsy is being fostered in Clearwater, MN. Spotsy's 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.

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.
