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 Kaylee 🐾 Kaylee may be tiny, but don’t tell her that — she’s absolutely convinced she runs the world. This 10-week-old Border Collie × Australian Cattle Dog mix is bursting with confidence, brains, and pure puppy sparkle. She’s bold, outgoing, and always the first to dive into whatever adventure is happening. New toy? Hers. New sound? Investigating. Siblings napping? Time to wake them up and party. She’s got that classic cattle dog grit paired with border collie smarts, which means she’s quick to learn, highly observant, and already showing signs of being one clever little problem solver. She’s playful, energetic, and endlessly entertaining — equal parts athlete and comedian. Kaylee is wonderfully social and full of personality, with just the right amount of bossy “supervisor” energy that makes everyone laugh. We expect her to be about 35 lbs full grown — the perfect size for hiking, training, road trips, or an active lifestyle. Because of her working-breed mix, she’ll thrive in a home ready to keep her mind and body busy with training, games, and lots of engagement. In return, you’ll get the most loyal, fun-loving sidekick you could ask for. If you’re ready for a smart, spunky best friend who will keep life exciting, Kaylee is your girl. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give this deserving girl the forever home she’s been waiting for 💛🐾

Story
Animal Profile: Buddy is a 4.5-year-old Doodle (1/2 Border Collie 1/2 Standard Poodle). He was purchased from a breeder prior to his owners having children. Buddy is a friendly but slightly anxious guy who has not adjusted well to having a toddler in the home. His family invested in a 4-week board and train with a local dog trainer in hopes that it would help Buddy feel more comfortable around small toddlers. Buddy completed his training; he has excellent house and leash manners, is house trained, crate trained; and knows the ‘place’ command. Unfortunately he was still too uncomfortable around the kids after training, and his family decided it was best to find him a new home. Buddy has been trained using balanced methods, including e collar for off leash reliability. Buddy does great at doggy daycare, but does have some resource guarding around food and select toys when it comes to other dogs. While he enjoys his dog friends, we think he’d be happiest as an only dog. Buddy has not lived with cats. Buddy is currently in foster care with a balanced trainer, and doing well. Foster Update: coming soon! Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $550 which includes his neuter, core vaccinations,  DPPV, Bordetella, microchip, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application  March 7, 2026, 12:47 pm

Story
FOREVER HOME NEEDED (currently in foster care) Meet Enzo! Enzo is a 5-year-old, 30 lb Border Collie/McNab mix who came to us from an overcrowded CA shelter. He’s incredibly sweet, loving, and as smart as they come! Enzo has been shining in foster care! He is crate trained, house trained, and with some patience and guidance from his wonderful fosters ~ he has learned to love cats! He’s also great with other dogs and loves his people. Enzo is active, playful, and still full of that classic herding dog spunk. Fetch is one of his all-time favorite activities. He knows several commands: sit, down, shake, roll over, and spin and is eager to keep learning! This boy doesn’t just want physical exercise; he needs mental work. Puzzle toys, training sessions, trick work, nose games — he thrives when you give his brain something to do. Because of this, we are specifically looking for an adopter with herding breed experience who understands what dogs like Enzo need to feel fulfilled. He’ll do best in a home prepared to keep his mind and body busy, give him structure, and help channel his intelligence in a positive way. Enzo would love a home with a yard and an active routine — hikes, adventures, outings, and plenty of enrichment. Once his needs are met, he is affectionate, loyal, and a wonderful companion who bonds deeply with his people. If you’re searching for a brilliant, devoted, fun adventure buddy — and you understand herding breeds — Enzo is ready to be your guy! Enzo is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $450.

Story
FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Fenton is an approximately 5-year-old, Border Collie/McNab mix weighing about 47 pounds (and still filling out after coming to us a bit skinny). He came from an overcrowded CA shelter and is recovering from a leg injury that has been healing well. This handsome boy is as sweet as they come—gentle, patient, and absolutely adores people. He’s done well with children he’s met and loves saying hello to everyone (he even enjoyed meeting all the trick-or-treaters on Halloween!). Fenton is house-trained, walks well on leash, and is a total fetch fanatic. He loves toys, hikes, and all kinds of adventures, but also knows how to relax and enjoy a good cuddle or nap once playtime’s over. Fenton gets along well with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion—preferably one who can help set healthy boundaries, since he can be a bit pushy at times. He would do best in a home without cats. We’re looking for a home with herding breed experience that can keep his mind and body active, continue helping him finish his recovery, and give him the full, happy life he deserves. He is definitely a dog that loves having something to do! If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate dog who’s ready for all of life’s adventures, Fenton might just be your perfect match! Fenton is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $450.

Story
Forever Home Needed 🐾 Tikka is a ~7-month-old, 40 lb Border Collie mix looking for her true forever family. She was adopted from us in January but, through no fault of her own, she is back with us due to unexpected personal and living situation changes in her adopted home. Now she’s ready for the right family who will love her for life! Tikka is a smart, loving, and fun puppy who thrives on routine. In true Border Collie fashion, she’s quick to learn and very in tune with her people. She even gets a little sassy if dinner or her post-meal playtime is delayed (she likes to keep everyone on schedule! 😄). She has done well living with another dog and loves having a playful dog companion. She can be a bit excited with cats at first, but with time and proper introductions she has learned to coexist well with them. In her adopted home, Tikka lived with a 7 year old child and did amazing! Tikka is still a puppy and very food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. She prefers to eat her meals without other pets crowding her bowl, but she has shown no issues with people handling her food while she eats. With her energy, intelligence, and playful personality, Tikka would thrive in an active home that enjoys adventures and including their dog in daily life. Hikes, walks, playtime, and continued training will help her grow into an incredible companion. A home with another playful dog is a must! If you’re looking for a loyal, fun, and affectionate adventure buddy, Tikka might just be your perfect match. ✨ Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply on our website!

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 Huckleberry — Your Sweet, Silly, Adventure-Lovin’ Sidekick 🐾🍃 Male • 3 Years Old • ~45 lbs (working his way up to 55!) • Aussie Mix Some dogs come into your life loud and bold… and some, like Huckleberry Finn, quietly sneak into your heart and never leave. 💛 At around 3 years old, Huckleberry is that perfect mix of playful adventurer and gentle soul. He’s got an athletic side that loves to get out and explore, and a soft, sweet side that just wants to be close to his people (once he knows you’re his). Now, let’s get one thing out of the way… Yes, he could use a few extra groceries. 🍔 We’re working toward his ideal “fluffy but fit” weight of about 50-55 pounds — and honestly, he’s very on board with this plan, especially since it involves snacks. Huckleberry is incredibly dog friendly — truly happiest when he has a canine buddy by his side. He’ll need a home with another friendly pup where he can play, follow, nap, and share life with his built-in best friend. His favorite things include: • Playing with dog friends (top tier activity) • Splashing in the water like a happy goofball • Exploring the great outdoors • Accepting treats as a full-time profession When it comes to people, Huckleberry may be a little shy at first, but give him a moment, a soft voice, and definitely a snack, and you’ll see him blossom right before your eyes. Once he trusts you, his loyalty runs deep. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly walk beside you on life’s adventures — whether that’s hiking a trail, camping under the stars, or just enjoying a peaceful evening at home. And honestly? He’s just out here looking for his Tom Sawyer — his person, his partner, his best friend to share all of life’s little (and big) adventures with. Huckleberry isn’t just looking for a home — he’s looking for his person, his Tom. The one who will give him the time, love, and companionship he deserves… and in return, he’ll give you a lifetime of loyalty and quiet, heart-melting moments. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and be the Tom Sawyer to this sweet Huck's story. 🐾💛

Story
Animal Profile: Maui's ideal home will have a balanced dog that can show him the world isn't such a scary place. A big bonus would be if the dog is willing to play. He has no resource guarding tendencies, and respects when other dogs establish boundaries. He will thrive under strong leadership, with an active family committed to continuing his training. Previous experience with anxious dogs is preferred. Maui is a goofy young boy who is equal parts klutz and weighted blanket. He is still a little unsure about the world, and we are working on building up his confidence—he has come a long way. He takes his time warming up to strangers, but once he does he will melt onto the ground for belly rubs. He is eager to please, and highly motivated by both food and affection. He doesn't have a lot of body awareness, and will often bump into furniture or people. His exuberance might be a little much for young children, but dog-savvy kids would be ok. He has spent time with a 20 month old toddler, and showed no aggression despite being climbed on and grabbed. His crate is his safe space, and he enjoys retreating there when he's overwhelmed or tired. Maui will be up for as much activity as you would like to take him, and might get some zoomies if not walked sufficiently—two 30 min walks a day would be sufficient. He can be reactive to dogs on leash, but responds well to training so far. He also loves to play with toys—fetch and tug are his favourite games. He is not destructive, and has never had an accident in his time here. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575, which includes spay/neuter, current rabies/DAPPV/bordetella vaccinations, microchip, health certificate, and heartworm test. All adoption fees are donations to a Washington non-profit corporation and all donations go to benefit the animals in our rescue.  Apply online at www.DogGoneSeattle.org Animal History: March 7, 2026, 12:47 pm

Story
Animal Information: I would like to introduce you to Riley, who will be joining us from Eastern Washington along with his two brothers. Riley is a 11-week-old Cattle Dog mix from an accidental litter. When our rescue partner reached out for help in placing some of the puppies we couldn't say no. The brothers are waiting for their freedom ride to Bothell, They are scheduled to arrive on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2026.  Foster Profile: Meet Riley. Aside from his adorable markings and light-colored eyes, he is exceptionally intelligent and gets along well with all my animals (two cats and a dog). He has a gentle and loving personality with the perfect amount of playfulness. He listens when he’s told not to do something and even likes to fetch. For being only 10 weeks old, he is doing very well with potty training; as long as he is taken out, he goes potty outside every time with very few accidents. He is now used to being on a leash in my yard, and I have successfully got him used to his crate at night and for about 2–3 hours during the day. Honestly, he will make a phenomenal housemate. From what I can tell, he would do well with any home that has time to continue his training, though I don't think he's ready to be left in a crate for longer periods while he is so young. Having raised my own dogs from puppies and helped multiple family members with training, I can confidently say he is truly one in a million. He is a great little guy and I will miss him a lot! We are looking for a home with a securely fenced yard and family willing to continue is training. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, heartworm test if indicated, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).  Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was transferred from Yakima Valley Pet Rescue, WA. Arriving in foster care 03/17/26. He will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.March 24, 2026, 11:50 am
