Jaguar's Story

Are you looking for a devoted, adventure-seeking partner to bring fun energy into your life? Jaguar wants to meet you! He is a one-year-old, 45# handsome, joyful, bright Border Collie mix (DNA test pending) seeking a forever home that will appreciate his happy outlook. Jaguar lives with multiple dogs in his foster home and would enjoy a patient canine companion. He would also be happy as a solo pup. Since being sprung from a rural shelter in northern Minnesota, his focus has been on house manners, basic training and just being a dog. Jag learns quickly, showing lots of intelligence with a willingness to please. He will thrive with structure, obedience classes and one-on-one time with his chosen person. Matching his love of life, Jaguar’s big personality absolutely shines with human connection. He is tall and athletic, with talent to excel as an outdoor enthusiast, hiking buddy, and probably many dog sports. Food and toy-motivated, confident without being a bully, good indoor off-switch, crate and house trained. He’s ready to jump in the car and check out new destinations anytime. The ideal home for Jaguar has herding breed experience and enjoys keeping active dogs happy. They are affectionate and want to include their dog in everything they do. Older kids are a good fit. Jaguar is suited to a single family dwelling, with preference for a fenced yard. He was originally surrendered for chasing livestock and will chase kitties if given the opportunity. Jaguar’s smile and happy eyes tell you all you need to know. If you’re looking for a strong bond with a very special dog, APPLY to adopt Jaguar! He is being fostered in Stanchfield, 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. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul. Jaguar's adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped 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.

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.
