Her green eyes grab you and don’t let go! McBride is affectionate, inquisitive, observant, bold, and Mensa smart. Favorite pastimes are sniffing around the yard for news of the day, and closely watching her foster canine siblings… then mirroring their behaviors. Whispering sweet nothings in her ear results in puppy cuddles that can’t be beat. She is a female Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix born in late August 2024, currently 9 #, likely to mature around 35-40 #.
Described as an easy puppy who is happy to entertain herself, McBride’s foster mom chose “Miss Independent” by Kelly Clarkson as her theme song. She’s brave and confident. Ready for a life of adventure. This flexible, medium-energy pup could adapt to a variety of lifestyles, making her a great fit for both active families and those who enjoy a more relaxed vibe.
McBride loves puzzle toys and learning new things – she will be a dream to train! Wants to keep her mind engaged through obedience classes for good manners, and stay healthy with daily neighborhood walks. Bigger adventures like road trips to see friends or camping are right up her alley. As long as she is with her humans, the sky is the limit!
She’s learning all the things puppies need to know: how to walk nicely on leash, spend time in a crate, and basic manners. She picked up the routine in her foster home in record time, happily going outside for potty breaks and learning every day. McBride would do well with older dog-savvy kids. She happily interacts with the dogs in her foster home. Equally as content as an only dog.
McBride is ready to partner with her human and live an amazing life! If she sounds like your kind of best friend, APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt
McBride is being fostered in Hudson, WI.
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.
McBride's adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. She is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She will be spayed (and microchipped) by the rescue at the age of 6 months at one of the vet clinics we work with. The cost of this procedure is included in her adoption fee. 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.
