Flash's Story

Hi there, I’m Flash! I’m a happy, cuddly, sweet, roughly 18# Border Collie mix puppy born in mid-December 2025. I'm READY to find my forever family. My foster family says I’m a really good boy who just wants to be someone’s best pal, and they sure got that right!<br/><br/>My favorite things are simple: I love following my human around to see what they’re doing and playing fetch. If you toss a toy for me, I will happily bring it back and do it all over again. I like being part of whatever my people are doing, whether that’s going for a walk, hanging out in the yard, or just moving from room to room together.<br/><br/>I have medium energy, which means I’m not a couch potato, but I’m not wild and crazy either. I would be happiest with an adventurous, active family that wants a buddy for walks, outings, and playtime. I stick close to my people and would be ok in a home without a fence, maybe working my way up to offleash privileges with solid recall training.<br/><br/>I get along great with other dogs, even small ones, and I would really enjoy having a canine sibling to play with. That said, I could also be happy as an only dog if my family is committed to training and socializing me. I currently live with a four-year-old child, and I’m very good with her – but of course we need to be closely supervised when we’re together. I’ve also been around cats and am doing well. Continued guidance will help me happily coexist with kitties in my new home.<br/><br/>I’m working on house training and need frequent breaks right now. I'm doing well in my crate and learning leash skills too. I’ve been to lots of different places and I take new things in stride. Obedience classes are a must – I’ve heard there are lots of treats there, and I’m anxious to show off how smart I am!<br/><br/>I’m an amazing puppy who wants a family to love, adventures to go on, and someone to call my very own. Is that you?<br/><br/>Flash is being fostered in Cambridge, MN.<br/><br/>Flash's adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. He is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He will be neutered and microchipped at the age of roughly 6 months. The cost of this procedure is included in his adoption fee. 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.
