paul - $250 adoption fee

Paul is dreaming of his very own home! He's sensitive and curious. Loving and a little unsure. Gentle. A wonderful, devoted companion looking for a quieter home with people that share his love of simple things like being outside, playing with toys and CHEESE! Cozy evenings on the couch with family. He’s a homebody if we ever met one. He is a Border Collie mix born in early May 2024, 55#. He wants to FIND HIS FOREVER!

Paul flourishes in a familiar, calm environment where he gets to spend lots of time with his people. His ideal family understands the importance of building trust with shy dogs and moves at their pace. A fenced yard is a big priority – he absolutely loves being outside in all kinds of weather, showing off his goofy, silly personality.

LOVES his crate – it’s a safe space to relax. Best with adults and respectful, gentle teenagers. Paul has lovely manners with other dogs, happily interacting with canines of all sizes. MUST have a canine buddy in his new home to make him feel safe and model confident behaviors. In return, he’s a low-maintenance lifelong friend. He lives happily with cats.

Once settled in a new home and bonded to his people, Paul would like to expand his world. With his family and canine sibling in tow, he will gain confidence out in the world. He will always be happiest at home. When he’s comfortable, he is confident and happy – check out his proud prance in his video montage https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zO6u8O21AVA?feature=share

Paul is a naturally alert dog and notices the little things. Unexpected sounds or sights like plastic bags blowing down the street or a squeaky ceiling fan get his attention. Paul takes 20 mg fluoxetine daily to help him feel more relaxed. The cost of this medication is less than $6 a month on Chewy.com

Paul will add so much love to his forever family. We can’t wait to see what’s next for this special boy. He is being fostered in Rochester, MN. APPLY to adopt him 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.

Paul's FIND MY FOREVER adoption fee is $250+ 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.
