Story

Hi there! My name is Perdita, but my friends call me Purdy… or sometimes Monkey (I have a silly streak). I was born at the end of September 2025, and at about 33 pounds I’m a growing Border Collie mix, possibly with a little Australian Shepherd sprinkled in. That means I’m smart, busy, and always ready for the next adventure! If you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky pup who loves everyone, keep reading. I’m a VERY social girl who adores meeting new people and dog friends. I’m affectionate and cuddly when it’s time to relax, but when I’m awake I’m ready to play! Tug, chase, chewing on toys, learning new things, and exploring the world are some of my favorite hobbies. I also have a deep and passionate love for snow, mud, and being outside. I enjoy providing a little commentary about the world around me as well. My energy level is classic puppy: go go go… then nap… then go again! I’m happiest when I have things to do and people to do them with. Because of that, I’m hoping for an active, adventurous family, ideally that live in a quieter suburban or rural area rather than a busy city. Big noises can make me bark, and sometimes I have a lot to say! A fenced yard would be wonderful for me so I can safely zoom around. I’d also love a young canine sibling who’s playful but confident enough to tell me (politely) when I’m being a bit of a pest. Older kids who understand herding-breed quirks would be great companions too. I’m still learning some life skills. I’m working on house training and practicing my leash manners so I can focus on my person instead of exciting noises. I sleep happily all night in my crate with a chew, and can relax in it during the day for a nap too, though I don’t like missing out if something fun is happening! One more thing about me: before coming to rescue, I broke a back leg as a tiny puppy trying to explore the world. HOABCR had an orthopedic specialist fix me up beautifully with a plate and screws, and my leg is healing nicely. I’m finishing antibiotics for a little sore from my splint. HOABCR is happy to share all the details about my medical history with my new family, but know this: my leg is fine and I have zero restrictions! I’m a bright, charming pup with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. If you’re ready for a smart, playful sidekick, I might be your girl! APPLY to adopt me at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Perdita is being fostered in Mound, MN. Perdita's adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. She is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and will be spayed & microchipped soon (at age of roughly 6 mos). The cost of her spay and microchip are included in her adoption fee if these procedures are performed in Minneapolis. Out of town adopters receive partial reimbursement. 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.

Story

Gunnar is amazing. There's no other way to say it! He's a 9 year old, 40# Border Collie that wants to hand his heart to his new family. A gentle soul. Intelligent, sweet, and friendly. He greets new people calmly, with an open heart and eyes that ask “Will you be my friend?” He soaks up affection, snuggling next to you and softly tapping a paw to encourage ongoing pets. His personal heaven is the backyard, where Gunnar rolls in the grass in summer and enjoys sunshine in winter. His contented smile when outside speaks volumes. His foster mom says he is the most well-mannered dog she has ever worked with, which is saying a LOT. He is wonderful with all the dogs he has met, crate trained and also trustworthy safe in the house. He sleeps in the bedroom on a dog bed or in an open crate, but if invited, he will gently snuggle you all night. He walks calmly on a loose leash and loves to see new sights. Gunnar would do best in a low key home with a routine. He was adopted as an only dog and had to come back to us because he missed the presence of another friendly dog in the home. He's never been without a canine sibling... and we want him to have that companionship. Calm, respectful teens who want a friend to help with homework are right up his alley. He will love everyone in his new family with everything he has. Gunnar will be one of the greatest gifts his new family will ever receive. We're saving the "Happy Adoption Day" toy for the day his dreams come true! APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Gunnar is being fostered in Shoreview, MN. Gunnar's adoption fee is $350 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. His smile is even more amazing after his recent full dental check-up and cleaning. 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

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.

Border Collie

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.

Story

Hi, my name is Golem and I am from Alabama. From his foster: At three months, he’s already a shining star on walks. He does not pull at all, stays right by your side like he’s been doing this for years. He is also an A+ cuddler. He is a lover boy for sure. He has learned to take treats nicely. Golem (we call him Bruce at home) is still working on potty training. He will get there, I have no doubt about that. This little boy is excellent with other dogs. He does fabulously with his foster sister pups. He can be a loud guy once he gets to barking, but it’s not constant.

Hi, my name is Pepper and I am from Missouri! Pepper is the perfect mix of playful puppy and cuddle bug. She loves spending time with other dogs and would be so happy in a home with a furry friend to play with, but she’s just as content snuggling next to you on the couch. She’s doing great with her puppy training so far. Pepper is currently working on potty training and sleeps through the night. She’s also starting to learn how to walk on a leash and is getting the hang of it more every day. Pepper loves being outside and is always excited for playtime in the yard. Her personality is the perfect balance of calm and energetic.
