Heart of a Border Collie Rescue's adoption process

1.

Submit Application

2.

Approve Application

Interview, personal reference checks, veterinary reference check and home visit and meet & greet are part of approval process.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

If all goes well, including the meet and greet, the adoption contract is signed, adoption fee paid and your pet can go home!

Additional adoption info

All adopters will need to fill out an application to adopt and provide 2 personal references and a veterinarian reference. After references are contacted, if the board feels the dog is a good fit, a meet and greet will be scheduled. If that goes well, a home visit will be scheduled and the adoption can proceed.

Adopters must sign an adoption contract and will pay a fee $400 + MN tax for puppies under 6 months old or $350 + MN tax for dogs 6 months +.

Most dogs will require a physically fenced yard. Other requirements will be listed in the dog's individual bios. No dogs will be adopted as outside dogs. Dogs must live in the home with their families and be incorporated into daily life. Border Collies require an extraordinary amount of physical and mental exercise. Please be specific about how you plan to keep your border collie active and engaged.

About Heart of a Border Collie Rescue

See pets at http://www.hoabcr.org

We are a group of volunteers committed to rescuing Border Collies and Border Collie mixes. We are concerned about Border Collies having a safe place to go where they will be properly evaluated, housed and cared for while awaiting their forever homes.

We are also committed to partnering with other Border Collie and herding breed rescues so we can all work collaboratively to provide a safe place for dogs in need.

There are no paid positions and all volunteers do this work for the love of the breed. All dogs live in foster homes, in the house with their families. We are always looking to welcome like-minded fosters and other volunteers to partner with us and bring new ideas and initiatives.

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in mound, MN.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
