Cap's 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!<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>Around the house, I'm pretty chill. My perfect family will include me in their active lifestyle of walking or hiking. Maybe I can even be your running buddy. I’m always up for adventures, including eating out with my foster family and a visit to "grandma" in another state! My foster mom is always telling me I’m a good boy everywhere she takes me. I know how to settle nicely in the car so I get to go everywhere. Sometimes new spaces are a tiny bit scary, but with positive words and maybe some treats, I gain confidence quickly.<br/><br/>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 always listening and I’m smart.<br/><br/>I’m housebroken, crate nicely, know basic obedience commands, and have a nice recall.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a fun-loving, loyal adventure partner who can chill hard and play even harder, I’m your guy. APPLY to adopt me at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt<br/><br/>Cap is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN.<br/><br/>Cap'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.<br/><br/>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.

Heart of a Border Collie Rescue's Adoption Policy
Please read 'Do You Have What It Takes' on our website (www.hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt) before applying to adopt a dog through our rescue. You may also find information about Border Collies helpful (www.hoabcr.org/border-collie-info). Steps in our adoption process include: 1) Filling out an application. Taking this step indicates you are truly interested in adopting a dog - it is not binding. 2) If your application meets the requirements for the dog you're interested in, it will be screened through an initial interview with one of our volunteers. If your application does not meet the requirements, you will not be contacted. 3) If we determine your home could be a good fit for one of our dogs, we will complete reference and vet checks, and set up a home visit, which may occur in person or virtually. 4) If approved, details about your application are sent to the foster that has the dog that you're interested in. If the foster feels you are a match for their foster dog, they will call you to talk in detail about the dog, and possibly move to an in-person meeting. Meetings are allowed AFTER applications are fully approved as described above. 5) If that dog is not deemed to be a good match, we may suggest another dog for you, or your application will be kept on file for a potential future dog. 6) Adoption is complete with payment and a signed adoption contract. Our adoption fees are specified in individual Petfinder listings. The fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm and Lyme tests, rabies & distemper & Bordetella vaccinations (if old enough). Our dogs go to their new homes with a collar, harness, leash, rescue ID tag, starter food, toys and blanket. We are required to charge appropriate MN sales tax.
