Frodo (courtesy post)'s Story

Meet this handsome dude! This sparkling guy is Frodo - he is a neutered 2 year old, 45# black tri Aussie who is finds himself needing a new home due to not being happy in a home with other dogs. (Seriously, why should he have to share human affection; being the only dog means he gets ALLLL the treats and pets!) Frodo isn't overly hyper - he really enjoys walks or runs with his person and also likes to snuggle (he requests that he could live somewhere where he is allowed on furniture so he can be closer to you). He is crate-trained and house-broken. He's eager to learn new things, so a home that's able to provide mental stimulation & adventures would be a bonus. Homes with cats would not be a good fit for Frodo as he can be really annoying to cats and if they run, it's game on for him. In short, if you have two legs, can see over the steering wheel of a vehicle (you know, so you can buy him treat-o's), and can give pets; you are awesome and he wants to get to know you. If you have four legs, he's a total dinglehopper and not a great friend to other four-legged creatures. Frodo is truly a good boy. It has become clear that where he is living is not what is ideal for him and there's no faulting him for needing something that's better suited for his needs and interests. Frodo is currently living in the NW suburbs of the Twin Cities. Frodo’s rehoming fee is $400. If you are interested in learning more about adopting Frodo, please email xenagirl4711@yahoo.com. This is a courtesy post to help him find his forever family. HOABCR will not be directly involved - we are just helping to network this handsome boy! Frodo is neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines.

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 not allowed until applications are fully approved. 5) If that dog is not deemed to be a good match, we may suggest another dog, 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 $400 for adult dogs, $500 for puppies, and custom fees for senior or special needs dogs. This fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm and Lyme tests, rabies & distemper & Bordetella vaccinations (if old enough). This also includes collar, rescue ID tag, harness, leash, starter food, toys and blanket. We are required to charge appropriate MN sales tax.
