Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet Farmer! Farmer is a 10-week-old Border Collie mix puppy with a classic black coat and adorable white paws, and he's every bit as charming as he sounds. At around 12 pounds now, he's expected to grow into a medium-sized dog, but right now he's in that perfect squishy, playful puppy stage.
This little guy is the best of both worlds: playful and sweet, with a surprisingly chill personality for a young pup. Farmer loves romping around with other dogs (especially his sister and resident pup), but once he's gotten his energy out, he's more than happy to curl up in his crate or puppy bed for a cozy nap. He's especially excited to greet you when you get home, tail wags guaranteed.

Farmer is already crate-trained and doing great with it--he'll even wander in on his own to relax with the door open. He's also well on his way with house-training and just needs a bit more consistency to fully master it. He handles alone time well and hasn't shown signs of separation anxiety.

Like any good puppy, Farmer has his goofy side. When he plays, he does the cutest little "air chomp", biting at nothing with tiny snapping sounds that will absolutely make you laugh. He's also a fan of Kong toys and enjoys short bursts of play followed by well-earned naps.

Farmer would thrive in a home ready for puppy life, continued training, playtime, and lots of love. As a Border Collie mix, he'll grow into a smart, active companion, so a family excited to engage his brain and energy will be a great fit.

If you're looking for a sweet, silly, and snuggly puppy to grow up with your family, Farmer is ready to plant himself right in your heart.
