Spotsy - adopted!

Handsome Spotsy is a 7-yr old, 45# Border Collie who is as handsome as he is affectionate. His favorite things are being with his people, followed closely by food. He’s a medium energy guy who enjoys walks on leash and playtime in the yard. He’s easy to live with and gives love freely, quickly embedding himself in your life and heart.<br/><br/>True to his breed, Spotsy is smart and bonded to his family. He is a thoughtful guy who appreciates time to check out new people before befriending them… and once you’re in, you’re in! Giving him space to soak in new environments is a quick way to Spotsy’s heart. Once he understands what is expected of him, he settles well into a routine and has great house manners.<br/><br/>Spotsy was raised with two littermates and their beloved human, who recently passed away. He’s now living in a foster home away from his brother and sister and he is definitely enjoying lots of 1:1 attention from his temporary family. He adores being the center of attention and soaking up all the petting all for himself. People that are around a lot are his favorite.<br/><br/>The ideal home for Spotsy enjoys daily neighborhood strolls or excursions to new parks, taking their faithful four-legged sidekick along for the ride. They are compassionate, patient people who will give him lots of attention. He would be thrilled to be the only pup in his new home or could live with an easy-going canine companion.<br/><br/>A calm home with a settled routine is ideal. Sudden movements startle him, so teens and adults are the best fit. We’re not sure how he would be with kitties. Families with experience keeping dogs safe on leash are welcome to apply.<br/><br/>APPLY to adopt Spotsy at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt<br/><br/>Spotsy is being fostered in Clearwater, MN.<br/><br/>Spotsy's adoption fee is $450 + 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.
