Story
Space is a 9 month old medium size dog. She loves other dogs and has done well with cats. Space needs a special adopter that will give her time to realize people aren’t so scary. She has made a TON of progress at her foster home but is still very timid at times. She gets SO excited to see you after work but still only wants to be pet on her own terms. She will do best in a home with no children, another dog to help build her confidence, and her own yard, as she is not leash trained. She is very fearful of the leash, leading us to believe she may have had a traumatic experience involving a leash before coming to HART. This dog absolutely loves to be comfy. All she wants is a comfortable bed or to curl up by your feet on the couch. If you’re looking for a playmate for your dog that does not beg for constant attention or a friend to keep your dog busy while you’re at work, Space could be a great choice for you. If interested in meeting Space please fill out an application at www.rescueahart.org!

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 Joker 🐾 Don’t let the name fool you — Joker is all heart. This 10-week-old Border Collie × Australian Cattle Dog mix is a gentle, sensitive little guy with a soft, soulful personality. He’s much more “thoughtful collie” than “rowdy heeler,” preferring connection and cuddles over chaos. Joker can be a tiny bit shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe, his sweet nature really shines. He warms up quickly and becomes your quiet little shadow, happily following you around and soaking up every bit of affection. He’s the kind of puppy who looks at you like you’re his whole world. He’s smart, observant, and eager to learn — classic border collie brain — and would thrive in a calm, loving home that helps him build confidence and gives him lots of reassurance and snuggles. He enjoys playtime and exploring, but his overall energy is gentle and easygoing. We expect him to be around 35 lbs full grown, making him the perfect size for both adventures and couch time. If you’re looking for a loyal, tender-hearted best friend who will bond deeply and stick by your side, Joker is ready to be your little sidekick. 🤍 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give this deserving lil fella the forever home he’s been waiting for 💛🐾

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 Your New Favorite Little Lady — Sweet, Social & Slightly Silly 🐾💕 4 Months Old • 15 lbs • Female • Professional Treat Taker At just 4 months old and 15 pounds, this darling girl is the perfect pocket-sized blend of sweetness and puppy charm. While she may have some Border Collie in her background, she skipped the “caffeinated squirrel” setting and went straight for the gentle, laid-back option. Think more “thoughtful observer” than “chaos coordinator.” 😉 She is super loving, wonderfully gentle, and already knows how to take treats politely — which in puppy terms is basically earning an honorary PhD. She’s smart, attentive, and very people-focused without being over-the-top hyper. When fully grown she should be a fantastic medium size to enjoy all your adventures but still save a spot for you on the couch!! Lately, she and her sibling, Sierra, have been getting lots of social time in the garage and big backyard, and it’s doing wonders for her confidence. She’s blossoming into a happy, social little butterfly who enjoys interaction and is figuring out that the world is actually a pretty fun place. Now let’s be clear — she is still a puppy. Which means: • Random zoomies activated without warning • Toy redistribution programs throughout your house • Occasional “what is this and can I chew it?” investigations • Daily moments that will absolutely make you laugh out loud Puppy shenanigans? Yes. Daily entertainment? Also yes. She would make a fantastic family pet thanks to her sweet, gentle nature. She’s loving without being wild, playful without being pushy, and cuddly without needing to run a marathon first. Her dream home includes: • A family ready for normal puppy antics • Love, structure, and patience • Maybe a backyard for zoomie practice • People who appreciate a good daily LOL moment She’s the kind of pup who will grow into a loyal, steady companion — but right now she’s mastering the fine art of being adorable while learning the ropes. If you’re ready for a gentle, loving, slightly goofy little sidekick who will fill your home with giggles and tail wags, she’s ready to report for duty. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — because life is better with a little puppy chaos and a whole lot of love. 🐾💗

Story
Jasper will be 1 in April 2026 and was adopted privately from Troy Ohio at 3 months Mother was Aussie/ Pit , father was all Aussie. Crate trained, rarely barks, has been socialized with 3 cats, parrot, and chihuahua and baby/ toddler. Has had fenced backyard and just needs more home space and attention and exercise than we can give. Very loving and just wants love and does need some training with walks. With toddler- just difficult to give him attention he needs. Hope to find him a loving home. Neutered and shots up to date through March 2026. This is my daughter’s dog, and I would take him in a minute if I was younger and had a fenced yard and had more space in my small condo. He just wants lots of love. He is a good dog and hope to find him a forever home. He would be great companion for another dog as well. Large crate included in adoption fee

Story
Meet Rowdy, the professional snuggler with a heart of gold and a personality that’s 100% "goofball." If you’re looking for a dog who views personal space as a mere suggestion and wants to be your permanent shadow, Rowdy is your man! Rowdy is a world-class cuddler who will melt right into your arms for belly rubs the moment you sit down. He is incredibly friendly and has never met a stranger he didn't like. Whether he's doing zoomies in the yard or making you laugh with his silly antics, he is a constant source of joy. He’s also a dream in the car—just give him a window seat and he’s happy to chill! Rowdy is a "sensitive soul" who thrives on companionship. Because he loves humans so much, he’s still learning how to be brave when he’s alone. Here’s what his forever family should know: Rowdy is very "touch-oriented." He’s working on his "four on the floor" manners, but his jumping just comes from a place of pure love and a desire for pets. He gets along great with other dogs, though he’s still learning about "personal bubbles." He’s looking for a patient sibling who doesn't mind a brother with high energy and zero concept of boundaries! Rowdy finds big crates and long workdays a bit stressful. He’d do best in a home where people are around often. He’s a total champ in his crate overnight as long as he’s in the room with you! He loves a good yard to run laps in! While he’s still learning that mud (and other smelly things) aren't meant for rolling in, he’s always up for an adventure. Busy roads are a bit spooky for him right now. He’d prefer quiet neighborhood strolls while he builds up his confidence. Just a heads-up—Rowdy isn't a fan of hoodies! He prefers to see your beautiful face, so he might give a little growl of protest if your hood is up! Rowdy would thrive with a family that has a flexible schedule or works from home. Since he isn't motivated by treats (he’s a "praise and pets" kind of guy!), he needs a patient owner who can continue his potty training and basic commands through positive reinforcement.He’s a loyal, sweet, and hilariously clumsy companion who just wants to belong. Are you ready for a lifetime of goofy grins and endless snuggles? Apply to adopt today at www.pawpatroldaytom.com/adopt. Rowdy is approximately 1 year old and thought to be an Australian cattle dog mix. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $285. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.
