Twix's Story

If you’re looking for a puppy who combines sunshine, laughter, and just the right amount of mischief, allow me to introduce myself! My name is Twix, and I’m a 4 mo old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, roughly 20 pounds. I may be little, but I have a BIG personality, an even bigger zest for life, and enough enthusiasm to keep everyone entertained. <br/><br/>I’m a playful, confident, clever, energetic gal who believes life is best enjoyed at full speed. Toys are fabulous, the great outdoors is my happy place, and wrestling with my canine foster sibling is practically an Olympic sport. Oh, and water! I am absolutely fascinated by it. Bathtub faucets, water bowls, the kiddie pool - anything I can splash in... bring it on!<br/><br/>Underneath my playful antics is a seriously intelligent puppy. I’ve mastered sit and down and am working on other tricks and commands. I’m a natural on leash, nearly housebroken with a consistent schedule, and doing well in a crate at night. Downtime during the day is not my favorite, but I'm learning to chill in my crate for much-needed rest. I would thrive with a herding-breed-savvy family who understands that brains like mine need more than a walk around the block. Dog sports, training games, adventures, or other fun jobs would be right up my alley!<br/><br/>I love people and school-aged kids, and I’d enjoy a canine sibling who can match my playful spirit. Continued socialization, training, and confidence-building are critical to helping me become an amazing adult dog. I'll need a secure fence or reliable leash routine to keep me safe, and frequent potty breaks until I mature. I lived with a kitty when I was younger and will probably befriend a cat in my new home (with proper introductions).<br/><br/>My future family should be ready for adventures, laughter, puppy antics, and unconditional love. I'm a special little sweetheart with a ton of potential, and I can't wait to find my people. <br/><br/>Twix is being fostered in Richfield, MN. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt<br/><br/>Twix's adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. She is spayed and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She will be microchipped. 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.

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.
