Story
How is she still not adopted! Delilah is one of the sweetest and most loyal dogs here at the rescue. She’s been here way too long. She’s raised her last litter over 2 years ago and now she needs you to give her the love she’s patiently been waiting for. Pleae open your heart and home to her 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 Delilah — A Loving, Lively Girl Ready for Her Forever Adventure 🐾🌟 Delilah is a Shepherd/Cattledog mix (best guess), born 10/01/2021, weighing in at a healthy 55 lbs, and bursting with personality, affection, and zest for life. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you wholeheartedly and keep you smiling, Delilah might just be your girl. She is sweet, affectionate, and eager to please, soaking up attention like sunshine. Belly rubs? Yes please. Cuddles? Absolutely. A game of fetch or a splash in the water? Even better! Delilah thrives on interaction and loves being part of the action. Delilah does great with other dogs and enjoys their company, though she prefers to dine solo — a girl likes her personal space at mealtime, after all. No issues with people around her food or toys, just a polite request for her own bowl. She’s still polishing up her manners (sometimes those paws get a little excited!), but she’s learning quickly and wants to do right by her people. Because of her energy level and curiosity, Delilah would do best in a home without cats and with a secure, tall fence. She’s an explorer at heart and would love an active family who enjoys outdoor time, play sessions, and giving her the mental and physical stimulation she thrives on. 🐾 Delilah’s Highlights: ✅ Born 10/01/2021 ✅ 55 lbs of love and personality ✅ Sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented ✅ Great with other dogs ✅ Loves water, fetch, and belly rubs ✅ Active and playful ✅ Eats separately from other dogs ✅ Needs a secure yard Delilah is the kind of dog who will make you laugh, keep you moving, and remind you every day how special the bond between a dog and their person can be. With the right home, she’s going to absolutely shine. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Delilah the loving home she’s been waiting for. 🐾💛

Story
🐾 Meet Waffles! 🐾 Breed: Belgian Malinois Mix Status: Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions Waffles is a stunning, smart, and athletic Belgian Malinois mix looking for her forever family! She’s past the puppy stage but still full of energy and enthusiasm. This girl is incredibly sweet and eager to please, but she will thrive best with a breed knowledgeable owner who understands both the mental and physical needs of a Malinois. Waffles loves a good game of fetch, and she’ll happily play for hours if you let her. She has had professional training, which makes her a fantastic partner for someone who enjoys structure, exercise, and continued learning. Her trainer is also willing to work with her new adopters should they like to continue her training. Like many Malinois, she has prey drive and will definitely keep the squirrels out of your yard. With cats, she’ll need slow, careful introductions. If they run, she may want to chase. She does well with other non-dominant dogs, but proper introductions are important to set her up for success. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent companion who will love adventure as much as she loves downtime with her people, Waffles could be the perfect match. Could Waffles be your new best friend? Apply today and give this amazing girl the home she deserves! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Malinois/German Shepherd Mix Puppies – Experienced Homes ONLY Yes, they are absolutely STUNNING. But these puppies are not just pretty faces—they are typical Malinois/German Shepherd-type puppies with the intelligence, drive, energy, and intensity that come with these breeds. At just 10 weeks old, they are still small, but they are expected to grow into 50+ pound adult dogs. And they are already showing us exactly who they are: • Mouthy and nippy – they are puppies and are still learning appropriate behavior • High-energy with plenty of squealing, bouncing, and puppy craziness • Tenacious – they don't give up easily • Extremely smart and quick to learn • Driven and intense • Curious, active, and ready for a job, training, and adventure These puppies are NOT apartment dogs. They also are not a good match for homes with young children, primarily because of their natural puppy nipping and intensity. They need owners who understand that raising a Malinois/German Shepherd-type dog requires being intentional from day one with training, structure, boundaries, exercise, and mental stimulation. Breed-specific or very similar breed experience is REQUIRED. We are looking for adopters who truly understand what these dogs are going to become—not simply someone who thinks they are beautiful puppies. Please understand that we are always picky and tenacious with our applications, but we will be especially tenacious with these puppies. Their future depends on placing them with owners who are prepared for the commitment and intensity of these breeds. If you have the experience, structure, time, and dedication these puppies need, they could grow into incredible companions. Beautiful? Absolutely. Smart? VERY. Driven? Without a doubt. Easy? Nope. Worth it for the right owner? Absolutely! Adopt responsibly. Know the breed. Know the commitment. Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Olive! Olive was rescued alongside her mom, Olympia, and five siblings from a homeless camp, where they were living under a bridge in a high-traffic area. Thanks to her incredible momma’s care and love, Olive is thriving and ready to find a forever home of her own. Olive is incredibly smart, eager to learn, and quick to pick up new things. She already knows her basic commands, walks well on a leash, and has been doing fantastic with her training. Her mom and siblings went on to service dog training, successfully graduated, and are now happily living with their handlers — a wonderful testament to the intelligence and potential in this special family! Olive is as sweet as they come. She loves everyone she meets. She can be a little shy around new people at first, but she warms up quickly once she feels comfortable. Her initial shyness is really the only thing that has kept Olive from being chosen. She is a wonderful, loving, and intelligent girl who simply needs someone willing to give her a little patience while she builds confidence. Once she warms up, her playful and affectionate personality shines! Her adoption fee is $250, and you can apply to adopt her at www.adoggie4you.org . If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion to grow up with your family, Olive is your girl! This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY, or along the East Coast.
