Pip - adopted!'s Story

Hi there! My name is Pip, but you can call me Pippi Dogstocking or the Pipster, both nicknames that fit my bright personality. I’m a 3-year-old. 36# Border Collie. I’m best described as resilient, happy, playful, affectionate, energetic, and alert. Leaning into you and staring adoringly into your eyes is my specialty. I'm very affectionate and love everyone I meet. My favorite things? Attention tops the list, followed closely by food, toys, and games like tug and fetch. I adore my people and want to be right in the middle of whatever is happening. Learning new things is totally my jam - my foster family is teaching me all kinds of new things. I can't wait to take my new family to training classes. I will be an A+ student! As long as I have something to do with my brain and body each day, I'm happy. I can settle in the house while my people work from home or join them in some down time. I’d love an active, herding-breed–experienced home with a fenced yard or safe place to run so I can show off my speed. A feline-free home is best; cats are a bit too interesting. A playful canine sibling would be da bomb! School aged kids who are gentle and kind are a good fit for me too. I’m housebroken and crate-trained with a tiny protest that doesn't last long. Foster mom says my leash walking skills are getting better each day. If you’re looking for a devoted, active, joyful companion who’s ready to learn, love and live with her whole heart, I just might be your girl. Pip is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN. APPLY TO ADOPT Pip at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt 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. Pip's adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. She is spayed, 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.
