Heart of a Border Collie Rescue, Inc is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with foster homes throughout the Twin Cities and outstate Minnesota, and is dedicated to the rehoming of border collies and border collie crosses in need in Minnesota, the Dakotas and neighboring states, providing temporary housing in approved foster homes, proper medical care, training, rehabilitation and education of prospective homes.
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.
