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 Sierra — Extra Friendly, Extra Fun, Extra Adorable 🐾🌸 4 Months Old • 15 lbs • Female • Chief Social Coordinator If her sister, Lainey is sweet and gentle, Sierra said, “Hold my treat, I’ll greet them first!” 😄 At 4 months old and 15 pounds, Sierra is a loving, happy little pup who’s just a touch more outgoing. She’s the one who will trot right over to say hello, politely accept a treat (because yes, she knows how to take them nicely like a proper lady), and then stick around to see what fun might be happening next. While she may have some Border Collie roots, Sierra did not inherit the “run 47 miles before breakfast” setting. She’s playful, yes. Silly? Absolutely. But overall she’s wonderfully balanced — affectionate, gentle, and laid back for a puppy. 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!! She’s been getting lots of social time in the garage and big backyard, and her personality is blooming. The more she experiences, the more confident and friendly she becomes. She truly enjoys interaction and is very people-oriented. Now, because transparency is important… she is still a puppy. Which means: • Surprise zoomie marathons • “Is this a toy? I vote yes.” moments • Occasional dramatic flops mid-play • Daily comedy performances included at no extra charge Expect puppy shenanigans. Expect laughter. Expect to say, “Okay, that was actually hilarious,” at least once a day. Sierra would make a fantastic family pet. Her friendly nature and gentle temperament make her a wonderful match for families who are ready for the normal puppy phase and all the fun that comes with it. Her dream home includes: • Love and consistency • A backyard for practicing zoomie physics • People who enjoy affection and happy greetings • A sense of humor (very important for puppy ownership 😉) Sierra is the kind of pup who will grow into a loyal, steady companion — but for now, she’s mastering the art of being adorable while keeping life interesting. If you’re ready for a friendly, funny, tail-wagging little best friend who will happily greet you like you’ve been gone for years (even if it was just the mailbox), Sierra is ready. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — because every home deserves a little extra sunshine and a lot of puppy love. 🐾💛

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
Hi, I’m Pepper! I’m a soft, sweet girl with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. I love a good game of fetch just as much as I love curling up for a cozy snuggle session. Whether we’re running around outside or settling in for quiet time, I’m happiest just being by your side. I get along with everyone — people, kids, dogs, even cats. If you’ve got a heartbeat, I probably want to be your friend. I’ll be honest — I do take a little time to warm up to new humans. I just like to make sure you’re safe and kind. But once I decide you’re my person, I give you my whole heart. When you come home, I’ll be so excited that I might even leap right into your arms. That’s just my way of saying, “I missed you more than anything.” If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves to play, loves to cuddle, and loves you with her entire soul, I think we might be a perfect match. I could benefit from a little extra reinforcement with my basic training. I know some commands, but when the toys come out, my excitement sometimes takes over and I momentarily forget my manners. With a quick pause in play and a reminder that the game doesn’t continue until I listen, I refocus quickly — I just need a bit more practice. I’m fully potty trained and kennel trained, though I’d much rather be curled up next to you on the couch or snuggled in bed. At heart, I’m a playful girl who loves structure but absolutely adores being close to my people. A few important things to know about me: I recently had a mast cell tumor removed from my front right leg, and I’m still finishing up my recovery. I’m happy to do meet and greets, but I can’t go to my forever home until I’m fully healed — which should be around February 1st. I promise I’ll be worth the wait. You can apply for this pup at: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt Name: Pepper D.O.B: 12/17/2021 Breed: Heeler mix Sex: Female Weight: 35 lbs Altered: Yes Adoption Fee: 400 Good with kids: Yes, I don’t mind kids! Good with dogs: I’m okay with dogs! Good with cats: I'm get along cats just fine! Special Requirements: None. *Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member. It can also help set up a relationship with greater odds of success integrating your new pet into your family. Anyone who provides proof of completed positive reinforcement training will receive a 100 dollar refund from Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc! If you have questions or are wondering if the class you want to take qualifies please reach out! ♥ Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc is a 501c3 non-profit organization ##2618045##

Hi hi hi! It’s me, Kringle! I know I know, I’m so cute!! I’m also extra sweet and bursting with excitement. I love being pet and played with. I’m super smart, follow directions well, and am eager to learn! I am a double merle pup, therefore considered special needs. I have a higher risk to develop blindness and/or deafness, and my skin and eyes are more sensitive to the sun. BUT!! Good news! I currently have my hearing and vision! And I’m intent on enjoying life to its fullest!! Because I’m still young, and need special care, I’m looking for an exceptionally responsible forever home that is willing to give me lots of patience, love, unique and positive training, and socialization to help me continue to develop into the best grown dog I can be!!! If you’ll provide all that and if you’re looking for a puppy like me to grow up with you/your family, apply for me (Kringle) now! I can’t wait to meet you!
