Story
Brady's story could have ended very differently. He was found abandoned on the side of a country road in Guadalupe County, where two compassionate women rescued him and brought him to Good Catch. When he arrived, he needed good food, veterinary care, and, most of all, kindness. Today, just a month later, Brady has blossomed into a healthy, happy, fully vetted young dog who's ready to find the family he deserves. We believe Brady is a Border Collie mix, though we're waiting on his Wisdom Panel DNA results. At just 35 pounds and 11 months old, he's the perfect medium size and isn't expected to grow much beyond 40 pounds. Brady is one of those dogs who seems to fit in wherever he goes. He's gentle, easygoing, and wonderfully balanced. Whether he's spending time with senior dogs, playful puppies, or dogs his own age, he reads the room and adjusts beautifully. He's smart, eager to learn, and picked up crate training on his very first day. He's fully housetrained, walks nicely on a leash, and has excellent manners around the house. His foster reports that he has never destroyed anything, even when left out of his crate. He enjoys toys, chew bones, tasty treats, and a good play sessionbut he's just as happy curling up beside you for an afternoon nap. Brady would love a home with a yard where he can stretch his legs. He's done well meeting older children and continues to gain confidence with new people when they're patient and calm. He thinks the cats and cows on the other side of the fence are worth barking at, so we'd recommend a cat-free home. (The cows don't seem to mind.) He's affectionate without being demanding, calm indoors, and will happily let you know when someone is at the door. At the end of the day, Brady is simply an easy dog to loveand the kind of companion who settles right into your heart. Brady is neutered, fully vaccinated (rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella), current on flea and tick prevention with Bravecto, and protected with a 12-month ProHeart injection for heartworm prevention. He will also receive a health certificate from our veterinarian before transport. If you're looking for a loyal best friend with great manners, a sweet personality, and the perfect size for almost any home, Brady just might be your good catch. For out-of-state adopters, Brady can travel safely with one of our trusted transport partners. We adopt to multiple states to help each dog find the perfect forever home.

Story
PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org 🐾 Elvis is a 2-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix with a big heart, a playful spirit, and 60 pounds of pure love. He has a wonderful balance of energy and calmness—always ready for a game of fetch, but just as happy to relax and spend time with his favorite people. This handsome guy never met a toy he didn't like, but fetch is definitely one of his favorite activities. If you've got a ball to throw, Elvis is ready for the job! When playtime is over, he loves scratches on his hips and lower tummy and will gladly soak up all the affection you can give. Elvis came from a farm and would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of attention, love, and opportunities to stay active. He's an incredibly sweet dog who loves being part of the family and would make an amazing companion for adventures, backyard games, and cozy evenings at home. He's great with cats and other animals, though if a cat decides to sprint across the room, Elvis may see it as an invitation to a friendly game of chase. (He thinks everyone should want to play as much as he does!) If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving, family-friendly dog who will keep you smiling and remind you to enjoy the simple things in life, Elvis is your guy. All he needs is a forever family to love.

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org 🐾 Sven is a 2-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix weighing in at a handsome 53 pounds. He has the perfect combination of sweet and playful—calm and gentle around the house, but always ready for fun when it's time to play. Sven is the kind of dog who wins hearts wherever he goes. He's incredibly gentle, wonderful with kids, and has a loving personality that makes him an easy companion. He gets along well with cats too, although he may occasionally try to convince them to play like they're fellow dogs! His favorite toy is his yellow ducky pull toy, and if you're looking for the quickest way to become his best friend, give him scratches on his lower tummy or thighs. He'll happily melt into a puddle of appreciation. Sven came from a farm, and while he doesn't necessarily need acreage, he would thrive in a home with people to shower him with attention and affection. More than anything, Sven wants to be part of the family and included in all of life's adventures. If you're looking for an amazing, gentle, goofy best friend who is equal parts cuddle bug and playmate, Sven may be the perfect match for you.
