Story
WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ✨💗 Meet Amaya — The Sweetheart Who Blossoms Into Pure Sunshine 💗✨ (7 Months • ~35 lbs • Professional Treat Enthusiast) If you’ve been dreaming of a pup who’s equal parts soft, sweet, wiggly, and wonderful, allow us to introduce Amaya — the little lady whose gentle heart is only matched by her love for snacks and with those ears, she'll hear the treat bag 3 rooms away!! Seriously tho… offer her a treat and she will immediately decide you are her forever person. Instant loyalty, zero hesitation. At just 7 months old and around 35 pounds, Amaya is the perfect “just right” size — small enough to scoop up for cuddles, sturdy enough for adventures, and cute enough to make strangers gasp dramatically in public. She’s a tiny bit shy at first meeting (she claims it’s part of her “mysterious heroine” aesthetic), but once she feels safe, she blossoms into the sweetest, silliest, most affectionate girl. Expect tail wags, soft nuzzles, and the occasional “I love you but I’m also trying to climb directly into your sweatshirt” moment. 🌟 Amaya’s Special Skills Include: • Turning treats into friendships (very quickly) • Getting along with everyone — dogs, kids, cats, probably even the mailman • Mastering the dog door like a tiny genius • Being 98% house trained — she’s still young, but she’s nailing it • Crating well while you’re away (she says it’s her “me time”) • Looking adorable 24/7 — it’s a gift Amaya is playful, active, and full of puppy curiosity, but she’s also gentle, sensitive, and has a heart that melts right into yours. She’s the kind of dog who wants to grow and learn alongside her family — someone to show her the world, reassure her during the scary parts, and celebrate the fun ones. She is currently with a neighboring rescue partner — we work together to save as many lives as we can — and we will happily pull her into Hay Dude Rescue to complete her adoption. If you’re looking for a pup who brings sweetness, giggles, loyalty, and just the right amount of goofy puppy chaos… Amaya is your girl. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — this shy little sweetheart is ready to blossom into the happiest version of herself with a family to call her own. 🌸🐾💖

Story
Hello my name is Keefe and I’m pretty sure I am the coolest pup on the block! I know that my brindle color is gorgeous and my size makes me very special! I am not a young dog, so you will find that while I am friendly and playful, I mostly have a gentle and calm disposition. We will have so much fun just hanging out – especially if you have treats for me! Do you like to go for walks? I love to walk and I am great on a leash – I walk at a very nice pace. I already know the sit command – so that tells you I am smart! My forever family can be just one person or many more – my good nature helps me to get along with people quite nicely. If you have kids and/or a dog at home, we highly encourage bringing them along to the shelter to meet Keefe and see if it’ll be a good fit! Please come and spend some time with me and see if we can be a forever family!

Story
Meet AHNA, a beautiful little Shiba Inu in need of a loving home. This darling little girl has spent her life as a breeder mom, giving birth to litter after litter of puppies for profit. Folks, when you but a puppy from a pet store, breeding operation or backyard breeder, please know that there are adult dogs suffering in miserable conditions to give birth to those adorable puppies. Ahna is 8 years old and fully grown at 20 pounds. She is a timid girl who is just learning about human kindness. She is best suited to a quiet home with a patient adopter who will work to build her confidence. If you'd like to meet Ahna, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Ahna at our weekly adoption event, Saturday noon-2 at PetSmart Eastgate.   Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 31, 2025, 9:37 pm
