Cayden's Story

Hi, I'm Cayden, a 5 yr old, 42# Australian Shepherd with luxurious hair, soulful eyes, and a deep love for my people. When we meet, I will roll over and let you rub my belly. That is how you know we are officially friends!<br/><br/>I'm a chill guy who likes to see new places with my people and spend time together. My "off switch" means I am perfectly happy being home and hanging - no marathons for me! I also enjoy activities like car rides, pontoon adventures, and quality snuggle sessions.<br/><br/>I am cuddly, calm, and thoughtful. I'm friendly with new people and adore school-aged kids! My foster family thinks dog-savvy cats would be ok for me.<br/><br/>Honesty is important in any relationship. You should know that I get distracted by things like fast moving bikes, rollerblades, or very energetic dogs while we're out walking. I may need help managing my big feelings about all that movement. If you are observant, patient, and understand herding breeds, we will be great together.<br/><br/>My dream match? Quiet homebodies with kind hearts, a couple of cool young kids, and lots of love to give. Being your one-and-only dog is important. I don't need a huge yard or nonstop entertainment. I just want my people. Maybe that's you?<br/><br/>So... what do you think? Want to do this "life" thing together?<br/><br/>Cayden is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN.<br/><br/>His adoption fee is $250 + 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.
