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 Loyalty, Cuddles and Endless Love 🐾 Gordo may only weigh 8 pounds, but this little Chihuahua mix is living proof that the best things really do come in small packages. At just 3 years old, he’s equal parts lap-warmer, Nyla bone enthusiast, lizard chaser, and full-time heart thief. He’s got a soft spot for the ladies—his ideal home is with a calm, loving woman who doesn’t mind having a pint-sized shadow follow her from room to room. (Gentlemen, don’t worry—he’ll accept you too, but he’s a mama’s boy at heart!) Because of his sensitive nature, Gordo would do best in a quieter home without kids, ideally with another small dog buddy to snuggle and catch some rays. 💊 Gordo is considered special needs. He has occasional seizures, but with his daily meds (Levetiracetam and Phenobarbital—about $50 every two months), they are being managed well. He’ll also need Midazolam on hand, just in case. The good news? He takes his meds like a champ, and he doesn’t let this slow him down from enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Some of Gordo’s favorite hobbies include: Curling up with his human like a living, breathing neck pillow 💤 Catching some rays - made so much better if he can curl up with a doggie sibling Begging shamelessly for watermelon 🍉 Sitting in your lap just to be as close as possible ❤️ Joining his small-dog pals in epic standoffs with the vacuum Gordo is house trained, crate trained (he happily hops in at mealtime), and ready for a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished. He may have been through a lot already, but Gordo’s heart is wide open and waiting. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive pup who will adore you endlessly (and maybe steal your watermelon), Gordo just might be your perfect match. Apply today at haydudeequine.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 Picasso - Creating Joy With Every Stroke of His Tail Move over, Michelangelo — there’s a new artist in town, and his medium is pure joy! Meet Picasso, a 1–2-year-old, 14-lb canine masterpiece who’s here to color your world with love, laughter, and a few perfectly placed paw prints. This pint-sized prodigy was found tied to a bus stop (clearly waiting for his next big exhibition), but he’s brushed off the past and is now painting a brighter future — one belly rub at a time. 💛 Picasso’s Greatest Hits (So Far): 🖌️ Compact size, museum-quality charm 🖌️ Excellent with dogs (especially the big ones — he loves the larger canvases!) 🖌️ Tolerates cats — after some initial “artistic curiosity,” he’s decided they don’t make great models 🖌️ Adoring of kids who know how to pet with gentle strokes 🖌️ Potty trained, kennel trained, and hasn’t marked his territory (even though we all know artists can be a little… expressive) 🖌️ Fully vetted and behaved like a total gentleman at the vet — no drama, just fine art 🖌️ Loves to snuggle and be carried like a baby — perfect for gallery tours or sofa exhibitions He’s playful, affectionate, and occasionally bounces around like a bunny chasing inspiration. When the muse strikes, you’ll find him zooming after stuffed toys, fetching with flair, or simply reclining on the couch like the distinguished work of art he is. Sure, every masterpiece has a few brushstrokes of imperfection — Picasso can be a little vocal when he hears something new, a tad too enthusiastic with smaller older dogs, and he’s still learning that sharing snacks is part of the deal. But with a loving home, he’ll polish his technique in no time. ✨ In summary: Picasso isn’t just a dog — he’s a living, wagging, tail-thumping limited edition. He’ll fill your home with laughter, your heart with warmth, and your days with color. So if you’re ready to adopt a one-of-a-kind original who believes love is the greatest art form of all — grab your brush (and your application)! 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — because every masterpiece deserves the perfect frame… and Picasso’s looks best next to you. ❤️🐾🎨

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ✨ Meet Sugarplum — the shy little sweetheart ready to melt your heart ✨ Sugarplum is a 5-year-old, 14-pound bundle of quiet sweetness who came from a hoarding case and is now learning what real love, safety, and comfort feel like. True to her name, she’s equal parts soft, sweet, and impossible not to adore — she just needs a little time to trust that the world is finally on her side. At first meet, she’s gentle, cautious, and prefers observing from a safe spot… but give her some patience, kind words, and a peaceful environment, and you’ll watch her bloom into the affectionate little lovebug she was always meant to be. Once you’re “in” with Sugarplum, you’re in. She’ll nuzzle close, follow you with those big soft eyes, and show you a level of loyalty that’ll warm you from the inside out. She’s great with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly four-legged sibling to help show her the ropes. In fact, she’ll take cues from another dog faster than you can say “Who’s a good girl?” (Spoiler: it’s her.) Her perfect home? A calm, patient human who works from home or is retired — someone who has the time and heart to help this sweet girl continue to build confidence at her own gentle pace. Sugarplum may not burst through the door with wild zoomies or immediate kisses, but the love she gives once she trusts you? That’s the kind of sweetness you can’t buy in any candy store. If you’re looking for a quiet companion, a soft presence, a loyal shadow, and a tiny heartbeat ready to be cherished… 🍬 Sugarplum is ready to sweeten your life — one tender moment at a time. 👉 Apply at haydudeequine.org and bring this precious girl 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 haydududeequine.org 💗 Meet Sadie — A Little Heart With a Big Love Story Waiting to Happen 💗 (Female • Chi/Terrier Mix • 2 Years • 12 lbs) If you’re looking for a companion who will cherish you with her whole entire tiny heart, Sadie may just be your girl. At only 12 pounds and around 2 years old, she’s a delicate blend of sweetness, gentleness, and quiet bravery. Sadie had a rough circumstance come into her life through no fault of her own. She was adopted as a puppy by an elderly woman who loved her, but sadly, that woman recently passed away. When the family didn’t want to keep her, Sadie came back to us — confused, shy, and unsure of the world. She didn’t get a lot of socialization growing up, so she’s still learning that people can be safe, loving, and fun. But here’s the beautiful part: Sadie wants to trust. She wants her person. She wants a place where she can breathe, blossom, and belong. She is wonderfully sweet, gentle, and affectionate once she feels secure. She just needs time and a calm environment to settle in. A quiet home would be ideal — maybe with someone who is retired, works from home, or simply enjoys the peaceful things in life. She would also LOVE another friendly dog in the home to show her the ropes and teach her that family life is the best thing ever. Sadie may start out shy, but once she warms up, you’ll see her sparkle: little tail wags, soft kisses, and that “I choose you” look that makes your whole day better. She’s good with other dogs, easy to love, and eager for a forever family that will commit to her, protect her, and never let her go again. 🌟 Sadie’s Perfect Home: A quiet, peaceful environment Someone with a gentle, patient heart A home with another dog to help guide her Retired or work-from-home folks = bonus Someone ready to watch a shy girl bloom into something beautiful Sadie is ready to write a new chapter — one filled with stability, snuggles, soft blankets, and someone who will adore her for all the years ahead. She just needs her person… could it be you? 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Sadie’s next happily-ever-after starts with you. 🐾💖
