This gorgeous Border Collie is Annie, a sensitive soul who is discovering that the world is a pretty wonderful place. She is learning to play, choosing toys from the toybox, enjoying outings and becoming more confident every day. Her favorite place in the world is curled up as close as possible to her person on the couch. She is 6 years old and 34 #.

Easy to live with and unassuming, Annie isn’t looking for a busy life. Her ideal home is with a patient, kind family that will give her a calm, predictable home. When she feels safe, she shines as the amazing companion she was always meant to be. When Annie loves you, she gives you her whole heart.

She is delightfully smart, eager to do the right thing, and beginning to work on basic commands. She has been around dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels: she has great dog skills. Kitties are a-ok, and older, respectful children are too. Annie is house-trained, crate trained (trustworthy loose in the house) and lives for daily walks.

Annie will thrive with a family who understands that sensitive dogs need a little extra time to feel safe. Her best fit is a quiet rural or suburban home rather than a noisy, busy city or apartment. She asks for a fenced yard or a family that can keep her safe on leash. She’s the ideal companion for people that enjoys time at home, being together as a family. She must have a friendly canine sibling in her new home to show her the ropes and provide steady companionship.

If you are looking for a devoted shadow, a gentle companion, and a dog whose trust will feel like a true gift, beautiful Annie is looking for you too!

Annie is being fostered in Plymouth, MN. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt

Her adoption fee is $450 plus Minnesota tax. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. 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.

Hi there! I’m Buddy, a 2-year-old, 26-pound Border Collie/Aussie-ish mix. Trust me when I say that to know me is to love me. If you’re looking for a sweet, joyful, energetic best pal who comes with plenty of enthusiasm and ready to give kisses, you found him. I'm also rather cute!

People are my favorite things, followed by playing with other dogs, toys, treats, and attention. I’m an active guy with a nice “off switch” - while I’m always up for an adventure, I also know how to settle down and enjoy quality cuddle time. In fact, I’m pretty sure I was born to be a lap dog. Just call me Snuggle Buddy!

I’d love an active home with people that will keep my brain and my body active: anything you do, I’m happy to join. Spending time together is what matters most. A fenced yard would be wonderful, and I’d be thrilled to have a canine sibling. That said, I could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. I would be ok with school-aged kids that are dog-savvy and always supervised when we're together, but no kitties please!

I walk pretty well on leash, and don’t worry- I will keep the squirrels away! I ride quietly in the car while crated. Speaking of my crate, it’s not exactly my first choice of destinations, but I’ll happily settle in for some down time. I’ve met lots of adults, including the team at the vet who gave me an excellent report card! I’m great with other dogs, bikes, and everyday sights and sounds.

Right now, I’m working on basic obedience skills and boy do I love it. I’m super smart, toy- and treat-motivated, and I really, really want to please my people. Learning is totally my jam. I will alert you to visitors approaching, which means I will be best in a single family home. I’m easy to live with, and ready to be your very best friend.

I can’t wait to meet my new family and embark on our life together. I will make them laugh every day and wonder how they ever lived without me.

Hi there! I’m Mint, a 2-year-old, 34 # Border Collie with a big heart, a clever mind, and an impressive talent for running victory laps around the yard with my favorite toy. I’m medium energy, easy to live with and ready to find my very own home.

My favorite place in the world is wherever my person is. I’m a devoted, affectionate girl who loves being close to the humans I trust. Tummy rubs and cuddling beside you on the couch are my favorite. You’ll see the real me when I feel safe, connected, and included in your life. I’m a sensitive soul and ask for a gentle approach, patience, and a predictable schedule to help me shine.

I enjoy walks on leash, romping around a securely fenced yard and carrying toys from place to place. I’m intelligent, fully engaged and live for one-on-one time with my person - playing, learning something new or just being together! That’s all it takes for us to become a terrific team.

I am kind and gentle with the older dogs in my foster home, and would enjoy having a playful canine sibling who wants some company. I’m reliably housebroken and prefer to take care of business in a fenced area rather than on leash. I’m also more comfortable in an exercise pen than a traditional crate at home.

A few things to know about me: I’m not especially fond of men at first, but with time and familiarity, I learn to trust them. Initially, I would do best with a woman as my primary caregiver. A quieter rural or suburban home with a consistent routine would suit me beautifully. I could live with older, respectful kids. Not sure what I would think of cats.

Could you be the person who helps me feel secure, discover new adventures, and enjoy all the cuddles a girl could want? I have a whole lot of love to give, and I’m ready to share it with someone special.

Mint is being fostered in Brainerd, MN. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt

FOSTERS FOUND FOR ALL!
Thank you Ashley and family, Paige and Ben, Adam and Nancy and Jerry and Dee!! 👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️

FOSTERS NEEDED! 🐾💓🏡

We have 2 adult female border collies and 2 four-month-old puppies in need of foster homes.

Abby spayed, sweet and friendly! She has excellent recall, good on leash and is good with dogs and cats. No long days in crate please.

Noky is 5 years old, needs to be spayed, needs leash work, so fenced yard is preferred. She is good with dogs - was living with small dogs and a cat. Loves her person, although a little scared at first. She is playful and sweet.

Puppies are appropriately 4 months old, both females and spayed. Their mama Millie came to us a month ago and we said we would help the pups when they needed a place to go. They are mostly house trained and crate trained, but would need breaks during the day.

Please contact [email protected] or fill out a foster application if you can help. Minneapolis, Mn and surrounding suburbs if possible!

https://www.hoabcr.org/volunteer-foster

Abby needs a place by the end of October, Noky is ready now! Pups are arriving Saturday evening, 10/17 and can go to individual fosters on Sunday 10/18. Thank you!
