Liddie is a bright, bouncy little spark of joy born in early January 2026. At just 11 pounds, she’s already packed with personality. This Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix is everything you’d expect from her breeds: spunky, playful, curious, and incredibly smart. Throw in an extra dose of sweetness and cuddles for good measure. Like any young puppy, Liddie lives life in joyful bursts: she’ll zoom around the yard, wrestle and play tug with her foster canine sister, and then happily crash for a well-earned nap. She absolutely loves being outside, whether she’s running free, exploring, or simply sitting on the deck watching the world go by. She’s a big fan of people, especially kids! Liddie wants to be part of the action and will enthusiastically join in the fun, even attempting to climb playground equipment to be closer to the excitement. Liddie would thrive in a home that embraces her playful energy and includes her in daily life. She’s great with older kids (roughly 10+) that understand puppies have sharp teeth and will provide her with gentle redirection. She’s still learning what’s appropriate to chew: toys are a YES… hands and noses are off limits. She wants a patient, consistent family to guide her through puppyhood into a fun adult life. Obedience classes are required for this little smartie! Her amazing foster family has given Liddie a fantastic start to life. She is out and about, seeing the world. She is learning to walk on a leash, sleeps soundly in her crate and even puts herself to bed! Potty training is going great: she needs frequent breaks at her young age. She hasn’t met cats yet, but we believe she will be fine with a dog-savvy feline. Liddie doesn’t require a canine sibling but would happily play with one. Above all, she’s looking for a loving home ready to nurture her, laugh with her, and help her grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Liddie is being fostered in St. Louis Park, MN. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Our puppy adoption fee is $550 + MN sales tax. Pups are up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Liddie will be spayed and microchipped at the age of roughly 6 months. The cost of this procedure is included in her adoption fee. 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. 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.
