Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 💗✨ Meet Sadie — Petite Package, Supermodel Legs, Total Lovebug ✨💗 (Female • Chi/Terrier Mix • 2 Years • 12 lbs • House Trained) Sadie is living proof that confidence looks great on everyone — especially when paired with 12 pounds of sweetness and legs that go on for DAYS. Seriously, this girl is built like a tiny runway model who accidentally wandered into a puppy playgroup and decided she loved it. Once a shy wallflower, Sadie has fully stepped into her glow-up era. She was adopted as a puppy but unfortunately her owner passed away. She was very shy and unsure when she came back to us to find her another fur-ever home but she is doing AMAZING in her foster home and has discovered her absolute favorite hobby: playing with other dogs. Loves loves loves it. If there were medals for playtime enthusiasm, she’d be on the podium. Is she shy when first meeting new people? For about a New York second (not even the whole minute). Then the tail starts wagging, the legs start prancing, and she’s like, “Oh hi, yes, I live here now.” She bonds quickly with her person and becomes a loyal little shadow with impressive leg reach. 🐾 Sadie’s Standout Stats: • 2 years old, petite 12 lbs with extra-long legs for maximum elegance • House trained (tiny body, big manners) • Fantastic with other dogs — playgroup superstar • Warms up to new people quickly and even gives sweet lil kisses • Bonds quickly and deeply with her person • Sweet, affectionate, and sneakily funny Sadie would thrive in a home where she can be part of the fun — whether that’s romping with a dog sibling, trotting proudly beside her human, or curling up after a long day of being adorable. She’s gentle, loving, and finally ready to be someone’s forever best girl. If you’re looking for a dog who can steal your heart, your couch, and possibly your camera roll in under 60 seconds… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Sadie is ready to strut her way into her forever home. 🐾💖

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 Gordo — 8 Pounds of Love, Loyalty, and Lap-Warming Perfection 💛🐾 Gordo has been waiting… and waiting… and we honestly don’t understand how this little guy is still looking for his forever home. At just 3 years old and 8 pounds, Gordo is living proof that the very best things come in the tiniest, snuggliest packages. This sweet Chihuahua mix is equal parts lap warmer, cuddle champion, and loyal sidekick. He adores being close to his person and will happily follow you from room to room like a tiny, devoted shadow. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who truly wants to be with you — not just near you — Gordo is your guy. He does have a soft spot for the ladies (Gentlemen, don’t worry—he’ll accept you too, but he’s a mama’s boy at heart!) and would thrive in a calm, quiet home. He’d also be thrilled to have a small doggie friend to sunbathe with and share naps. Kids aren’t really his vibe, but cozy couches and peaceful routines? Absolutely. 💊 A little extra love note about Gordo: Gordo is considered special needs due to occasional seizures, which are well managed with daily medication (Levetiracetam and Phenobarbital - about $50 every two months). He takes his meds like a champ and doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. He’ll also need Midazolam on hand, just in case he does have a seizure — though thankfully, his meds are working very well and he rarely has one. Now for the fun stuff… 🐶 Gordo’s Favorite Things: • Being used as a living neck pillow • Sunbathing like a tiny beach bum • Napping with doggie friends • Shamelessly begging for watermelon 🍉 • Sitting in your lap… always • Staring down the vacuum like a brave little warrior He’s house trained, crate trained, and happily trots into his crate at mealtime like the good boy he is. Gordo is gentle, affectionate, and incredibly loving — the kind of dog who bonds deeply and gives his whole heart once he feels safe. This little guy has been through a lot in his short life, but he hasn’t let it dim his sweetness or his desire to love. He’s just waiting for someone to see how special he truly is and give him the calm, loving home he deserves. 💛 If you’re looking for a devoted companion, a constant cuddle buddy, and a tiny soul who will adore you endlessly — Gordo is ready to wiggle into your heart and home! Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give this sweet boy the forever home he’s been waiting for. 💖

Story
Meet Rio Rio was adopted from us as a puppy in 2024 the last of his litter to finally find a home. We thought his happy ending had begun. But now, through no fault of his own, Rio is back with us. He doesn’t understand why. He keeps trying to make his way toward the front door, hoping to go back to the home he thought was forever. Despite the heartbreak, Rio remains the same sweet, friendly boy. He’s always excited to meet new people, wagging his tail and offering love to everyone he meets. If you’re looking to adopt or foster, please keep Rio in your heart.

Story
Meet Nellie!      This sweet little lady is around 12 pounds of pure love! Nellie is believed to be a long-haired Chihuahua mix and came to us from a hoarding situation in rural Missouri. Despite her rough start, she’s full of wiggles and joy—always ready to greet you with a happy dance!    Nellie is learning all about the big, wide world for the first time.  She recently graduated from the Puppies for Parolees training program and did amazing with her training!  She is potty trained, walks perfectly on a leash and has a little bit of sass in step!  Nellie learned all her basic commands and gained some confidence in the process!!   When she first arrived, Nellie was suffering from severe hair loss due to a flea infestation, but with care and love, her coat has come back beautifully!    Nellie is great with dogs, cats, and gentle kiddos - she does not appreciate when other dogs get up in her face.  A princess needs a little personal space sometimes!  She’s truly a little sweetheart looking for a home where she can continue to blossom.   Could you be the one to show Nellie what a forever home looks like? If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Nellie's adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.

Story
Meet Picadilly, a 5 year old 10 pound Chihuahua Pug mix.  Picadilly is full of life and loves life and all that goes with it.  She’s a happy fun curious little girl.  She’s very loveable and she loves to nuzzle her head under your chin. Picadilly gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home and sees the cat as just another dog.   She gets the zoomies about once a day and after that you will find her sleeping calmly in her dog bed.  After a long day, she enjoys relaxing next to you or on your lap on the couch. Picadilly does tend to be a barker, especially if she sees a squirrel outside the window or in the yard, so she would probably not be good for apartment living.  She would also be best in a home with older children who will respect her boundaries.  She’s mostly potty trained if she’s taken out often.  She sleeps in the kitchen at night with her foster siblings, but I’m sure she’d rather be in bed with you. She loves her toys and her treats.  She does tend to get a little cranky if she thinks another dog might be wanting her food.  After all she lived in a home with 2 large dogs and 3 other small dogs, so I’m sure they had a little challenge all getting enough to eat.  She’s just waiting for her home and could that be you. If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Picadilly’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.
