He is shy and may nip when meeting new people, but with patience and gentle reassurance, he warms up beautifully. But because of his fearfulness, he would do best in a home with no children. Bandito is the kind of dog who just needs someone willing to help him build his confidence so he can shine. He enjoys playing, staying active, and spending time with dogs his own size. Once he feels safe, his sweet, goofy charm comes out—and it’s impossible not to fall for him. Bandito is ready for a loving home that will give him the time, encouragement, and affection he deserves.  Please help us make room to save more homeless pets!!! Adopting from Hope Rescues saves the life of two.. the one you adopt and the one your adoption makes room for. We are a Rescue which means we physically go and save lives. Hope pulls animals on their last day of life from animal control facilities that still use the inhumane gas chamber to put to death homeless pets.

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.

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. 🐾💖
