Our new girl, Purdy, needs your love and support!

Purdy recently had given birth to four puppies who secured rescue placement elsewhere but she was still in need. HOABCR has a special place in our hearts for Mamas and never wants to leave one behind so we said YES! We had her intake pen ready with a warm bed and a new blanket of her very own. After our two amazing volunteers picked her up, it was clear that something wasn’t right. Purdy was out of it, hot to touch and unable to stand or walk. Fearing advanced mastitis and possible sepsis, we immediately changed plans.

Blue Pearl Emergency Vet said they could see her if we got her there right away and were ready and waiting when Purdy arrived. On arrival at the hospital it was clear our girl was in trouble - a temperature of 105.6, a dangerously low white blood cell count, a severe case of parvovirus and a secondary bacterial infection in her ravaged intestines.

For the next 60 hours, Purdy fought for her life while emergency doctors used every possible remedy. Her temperature was near normal after 48 hours, but her prognosis still was guarded.

12 hours later a glimmer of hope appeared when Purdy perked up and became interested in her surroundings. She was still critically ill with bloody diarrhea and a tube in her nose down to her stomach, nausea and unable to eat.

After another 12 hours, she was able to walk out to potty, and she ate a tiny amount of baby food. Purdy is not out of the woods yet, but she continues to make steady progress and we are hopeful she will fully recover. We are thankful that Purdy arrived when she did -- a few more hours, and she could have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

From the moment we met her through every moment of her life threatening illness, Purdy has been stealing hearts with her sweet, soulful eyes and kind heart. We are so happy she is ours, and that we have access to amazing vet partners. But the reality is that Emergency Care and hospitalization is expensive. Purdy needs your help. We need your help. We hope to raise $9,000 to cover Purdy’s 96 hours in the hospital.

We are grateful that our good friends Carol and Terry have offered a $3,000 matching grant to get us started.

Please donate if you can.

Darling Darla is cutting edge when it comes to pop culture. Her theme song is “The Spark” by Kabin Crew, trending on TikTok. She’s confident, spirited, bold (and addictive!) just like the song. She is a 4-month-old Cattle Dog mix, right around 20 #. Wants to be in the middle of any social activity. She LOVES people, joyfully interacting with everyone she meets.

Curious and sweet with a little sass thrown in (because, Cattle Dog!), Darla is a true extrovert. Anything involving getting out and seeing the big world is her favorite pastime. She loves toys, preferably being thrown or crinkled by her human BFF. An old-fashioned game of tug is always in order as well.

Families that like to check out new places with their pups in tow are right up Darla’s alley. She’s ready to visit neighborhood parks, the lake and friends’ homes, or jump in the car for a road trip to see Grandma. Rest assured that she will want to meet every person she comes across. Obedience classes and solid ongoing socialization are the name of the game for this smarty pants – not only is she ready to learn, she wants to keep her brain busy. A routine of daily exercise will ensure she stays physically healthy as well.

Darla would be thrilled with a fenced yard in her new home. OK as an only dog or with a mentor canine who will appropriately tell her when it’s time to chill out. She reads other dogs well, respecting their space if requested. Homes with older kids are fine; kids 10 and under should have experience with herding breeds and know how to handle puppy teething behaviors. She loves to play with the kitty in her foster home. She needs potty breaks every few hours at her young age.

Darla is learning all the things puppies get to learn. Housetraining is coming along nicely. She is not the biggest fan of her crate yet, but she’s working on it with the help of yummy chew toys. Loves going for walks on leash, though she is a little zig zaggy at this stage. She thrives with structure and positive reinforcement.

Her foster mom says: “Darla is simply a happy, happy girl. She will drop everything to make a new friend. She will be a fabulous addition to an active family!!!”

Please read up on Australian Cattle Dogs before applying to adopt Darla. They are amazing companions in the right homes.

APPLY TO ADOPT Darla at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt

Darla is being fostered in Eagan, MN. Her sister Cleo is also available for adoption: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/cleo-72921551/mn/minnetrista/heart-of-a-border-collie-rescue-mn432/

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.

Darla's adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. She is microchipped, heartworm negative and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She will be spayed 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

Ear worm alert! Adoptable Cleo is the poster child for “I’m So Excited” by the Pointer Sisters. This 4-month-old Cattle Dog mix is as jazzed about life as she is adorable. Currently 23 # of playful, friendly fun, and ready to find an amazing forever home.

Curious and sweet with a little sass thrown in (because, Cattle Dog!), Cleo is ready for a job as a professional toy tester. She wants to play with ALL the toys everywhere! She will do anything for a bully stick and loves food in general (can you say “easy to train?”). She loves the outdoors, soaking up rays and chasing after a ball or toy followed by a cozy nap in the grass or on a cushy dog bed.

Families that like to check out new places with their pups along for the ride are right up Cleo’s alley. She’s ready to visit neighborhood parks, the lake and friends’ homes, or jump in the car for a road trip to see Grandma. Obedience classes and solid ongoing socialization are the name of the game for this smarty pants – not only is she ready to learn, she wants to keep her brain busy. A routine of daily exercise will ensure she stays physically healthy as well.

Cleo would love a fenced yard and another friendly canine to play with. She reads other dogs well, respecting their space when requested. Homes with older kids are fine; kids 10 and under should have experience with herding breeds and know how to handle puppy teething behaviors. We are told she did well with cats in her original home. She needs potty breaks every few hours at her young age.

Cleo is learning all the things puppies get to master. Housetraining is coming along nicely. She is happy in her crate for short periods and sleeps quietly in it through the night. Loves going for walks on leash, though she is a little zig zaggy at this stage - she's a puppy!

Her foster mom says: “Cleo is all puppy: happy to explore, loving and awkward and funny all at once. She’s a bright light with silly antics that keep us laughing. She’ll make an amazing canine companion!”

Please read up on Australian Cattle Dogs before applying to adopt Cleo. They are amazing companions in the right homes.

Sweet, stunning Paris is a loving, attentive gal who is all about her people. Approximately 1 yr old, 35 #, most likely a mix of Border Collie and Aussie. She’s friendly and curious. Loves a good Yak cheese stick, breakfast!(), and taking her people out for a walk.

Described as Velcro with her people, Paris looks deep into your eyes, seeking that connection only a BFF with four legs can make. She’s the best listener and confidante… maybe even part therapist? Her theme song is “I Want to Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles – she’s a touchy girl who lights up when showered with affection.

A life of balance works well for Paris: quiet time is important to her, but so are sniffaris and regular checks on the news of the day around the neighborhood (and the squirrel population). She wants to take obedience classes so she can go everywhere with her people. She loves to say hi to human friends of all ages, including a quick hello to new dogs she encounters

As she’s gotten more comfortable in her foster home, we’re seeing a bit of herding behavior in this pretty girl. Paris reads the room well: if other dogs don’t want to be herded or need some down time, she understands and can be redirected. She will likely try to herd kitties and very small children living in the home.

Paris is a fan of her crate. Occasionally gets a shot of zoomie energy while on a walk, bursting out with such joy that it makes you laugh out loud. She’s not a fan of loud noises, looking to her people to keep her safe when she’s unsure. Best with a fenced yard or a mature family that will keep her safe on leash.

Her foster mom says: Paris started out pretty shy, but she’s blossomed into a fabulous companion. She’s playing with toys and other dogs and brings a true love of life to every day!

If Paris sounds like your kind of gal, APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt

Paris is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN.

Meet and greets with specific dogs are arranged once your adoption application (not an inquiry through Petfinder) has been received, processed, and approved.

Paris' adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. 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.

Harvey. All around GOOD BOY. Supermodel looks. Water lover. Snuggle bug. Country taste in entertainment- ignores the fanciest, most expensive toy in favor of a stick every single time. They don't come much nicer than this guy.

A true herding medley, Harvey's DNA includes Border Collie, and 3 types of shepherd: Miniature American, Australian and German. He's around 2 years old, 65 # and tons of fun. He's an active guy who wants to be with his people doing as much together as possible. The perfect companion for a family that takes their dog on vacation, hikes, and to neighborhood cookouts. He wants to be in the picture on family Christmas cards and be that once-in-a-lifetime dog.

Harvey is bright, easily learning new skills in his foster home. He would love a chance to show off his smarts with trick training or obedience classes. Older kids that want a companion while doing homework or hanging with friends are a great fit. If they promise to throw his treasured sticks, all the better. He's curious about kitties and could live with dog-savvy felines. He would love a fenced yard to patrol and is a good candidate for mature families who keep dogs safe on leash. He relaxes nicely in his crate, but doesn't want to spend long hours in it - being alone all day is not his jam. He's learning to walk nicely on leash with a Gentle Leader/Halti.

His foster mom says: "Harvey is a kind-hearted boy who wants to make his people happy. He brightens every day with his charm and love of life. He truly is one of a kind."

We want Harvey to take obedience classes with his new family. Herding breed experience is a plus. He would love to have an occupation in his new home - running or walking partner, dog sport or helping keep watch over a rural property!

Does Harvey sound like the perfect fit for you? APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt

Harvey is being fostered in Ames, Iowa.

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.

All of our dogs go to new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Snuggly, charming Forrest is affectionate and totally devoted, giving his entire heart to those he loves. He likes to try new things and see new places with his family in tow. A quick study who enjoys learning. Wants to check out more and more of the world at his own pace, without pressure. He is a 9-10 month old Border Collie, 49 #, looking for a family as special as he is.

Forrest loves to play with any kind of ball or toy with a squeaker. At home, where he feels most secure, he’s silly and fun, ready to goof around any time. Loves attention from his humans in the form of cuddles, games in the yard or training time (typical teenage boy loves his treats!). Medium energy, happy with a nice walk each day, and both time to play and indulge in cozy naps near his person.

The ideal family for Forrest is patient and loving. They will honor his interest in the world by providing opportunities to see and do new things in increments, always providing a positive and happy atmosphere. Attempts to force him into a situation result in a shutdown. A lighthearted go-with-the-flow approach to ongoing socialization is the best bet. He is good with older kids (roughly 8+) and idolizes other dogs. We prefer a home with another pup for Forrest. (That said, if he’s taught us anything, it’s to be open-minded to any possibility.)

Good in his crate or gated in a smaller room of the house while his people are out. Potty trained and working on leash skills, responding best he’s on a fun stroll to check out the news of the neighborhood or new sights and smells. Outdoor excursions build his confidence more easily than being in a confined or noisy space indoors.

Forrest demonstrates time and time again that he wants to grow – he does not want a life of staying home all the time. He trusts his people and needs to learn to trust himself just as much. A family ready to invest in his development will find him to be the most loyal, devoted companion imaginable.

Forrest is being fostered in Brooklyn Park, 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.

Confident. Forward. Independent. Strikingly bright. Motivated. This girl is ready to rule the world, looking for just the right human partner to plot the takeover. She’s an Australian Shepherd mix born in mid-May, weighing 12 # as of early August.

This is not a first-timer’s dog. The right home for Poppy is all in with their dogs and sets goals to achieve with their canine teammate. She wants – and needs – guidance, structure, focused ongoing socialization. Mental and physical activity each day are a must. She wants a job, whether that be running with dad or training for a dog sport with mom, or something similar. Entertains herself after exercising that big brain. She will be a blast to train!

All that said, Poppy is not over the top busy; she has medium energy. Potty training and walking on leash are well underway. Crates nicely. Solid crate skills will provide the foundation needed to be a well-adjusted adult dog. She’s living with other dogs and cats in her foster home. Does not need a canine sibling in her new home. If she has one, and is left to her own devices, she will the roost in no time, running over a less confident pup.

Poppy will try to engage other creatures in play as much as she is allowed. She could live with kids who don’t mind being harassed and can handle a pushy puppy, and they must be old enough to understand and enforce rules. She has the capacity to run a household using The World According to Poppy playbook… which would be super fun for her, but likely not what her humans envisioned.

Obedience classes are required for Poppy, and she needs potty breaks every few hours at her young age. She is being fostered in St. Joseph, MN.

If you’re looking for a very intelligent dog that will soak up training like a sponge and push buttons while doing it, Poppy is your girl. Fans of strong-willed Australian Shepherds and Australian Cattle Dogs will find love her “what’s in it for me” attitude. APPLY TO ADOPT Poppy at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt

Lyra is a beautiful, smart and sensitive companion. Her theme song is “Ready for Love” by Bad Company – she is SO ready to give her heart to her very own family! It takes lots of impressive words to properly describe this girl. Sweet. Loving. Active (with an off switch). Goofy. Athletic. Engaged. FUN!

She’s a one-year-old, 45 #, Shepherd / Husky mix who enjoys all kinds of different activities. Playing with her foster canine brother. Chasing balls (and sometimes bringing them back). Tug-of-war with a rope. Swimming! The ideal home for Lyra shares her personality traits and lives life just like she does; they believe in staying active in a variety of ways. They want a smart dog that likes to solve puzzles and learn. They want a dog that will be a cherished family member.

Lyra appreciates calm, clear guidance and consistency to help her know what behaviors are desired and to build trust in her people. Once given time to connect, she loves with her whole being. Her main objective is to make her people proud and spend lots of time together. Spending time together makes her day better and she loves to make her people laugh at her antics.

After a good play/exercise session, Lyra happily settles with a yummy chew. She easily chills in her crate or hangs in your home office while you work. Lyra is well socialized with other dogs and enjoys their company. She is happily living with a male dog; they play and relax together with ease. She lives with dog-savvy kitties and is interested in them, but learning they like their space. Can live with older kids. Walks well on leash and is learning that pulling does not allow her to advance forward.

Her foster family says “Lyra is a joy and makes us smile every day. She has livened up our lives for the better. You can feel how much she enjoys being part of a family and how deeply she connects with people. We are excited for her to find her happily ever after.”

Lyra is ready to live a full life and get her very own last name. You can see devotion reflected in her soft, loving eyes. That connection is the best feeling in the world. APPLY TO ADOPT her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt

Beautiful Blaze!

Tabitha and Tucker have gone home….. TOGETHER!! ❤️ After spending four long years in the shelter, these two are living the dream with a mom who loves them dearly and a fenced yard to play in! Tabitha and Tucker arrived at the shelter at four months old, just babies who had never know what a home was. This required very special and patient foster homes. Dede and Kandi provided just that. They opened their homes to these shy pups, and allowed them the time and space to open up on their own terms. We could not be more grateful for their love and dedication. Dede and Kandi, you guys are rockstars! Happy life, Tabitha and Tucker!! #fosteringsaveslives #imnotcryingyourecrying

Our Story

Heart of a Border Collie Rescue is an all-volunteer, registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rehoming of border collies in need (and other herding breeds/border collie crosses) from Minnesota, the Dakotas, and neighboring states. While dogs are with us waiting for loving and permanent homes, we provide them with temporary housing in approved foster homes throughout the Twin Cities and outstate Minnesota, proper medical care, training, rehabilitation, and education of their prospective adopters.
