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 Lucy – Tiny Thief, Big Heart 🐾💛 2 years old • 12 pounds of pure personality This little rascal is Lucy — and she may be small, but she’s packed full of sweetness, spunk, and just a dash of mischievous charm. Lucy came from a hoarding situation, so she’s still learning all about the good life most dogs take for granted — things like kind words, soft beds, gentle pets, and treats that don’t have to be shared with 50 of your closest canine neighbors. She’s discovering that being a dog can actually be pretty wonderful. At first, Lucy can be a little shy. New people and new places take her a bit of time to warm up to. But once she feels safe? Out comes the happy, goofy, secretly hilarious little girl hiding inside. She’s house trained, crate trained, and not food aggressive. On walks she’s more “sniff investigator” than marathon athlete — she doesn’t walk great on a leash... yet, because she’s too busy trying to smell every single leaf, blade of grass, and mysterious sidewalk crumb. Priorities! Lucy enjoys being outside, soaking up the sun, and observing the world from her favorite perch. She’s slowly gaining confidence in the house and has recently started exploring more on her own — a HUGE milestone for a girl who once didn’t know what home life even meant. She isn’t overly social with bigger dogs and would likely be happiest as an only dog or with calm dogs her own size. Loud, boisterous canine roommates can feel a little overwhelming to her. Now for the BEST part about Lucy… Lucy is a THIEF. 😄 Her foster brother Buddy leaves toys scattered everywhere, and Lucy has developed a top-secret operation. When Buddy isn’t looking, she sneaks off her perch, carefully steals one of his toys, and proudly carries it back to her spot like she just pulled off the heist of the century. No remorse. Just adorable criminal activity. And as if that wasn’t cute enough, Lucy has one more irresistible trick up her tiny sleeve — she does the SWEETEST little paw wave when she’s happy or asking for attention. It’s her signature move, and it’s basically impossible to resist. What Lucy needs most is a patient, gentle person or family who will give her the time she needs to feel safe and comfortable — without rushing her. She’s already come so far, and with a little more love and understanding, she’s going to blossom even more. Lucy is a very happy girl who is slowly learning how to just “be a dog.” And watching her discover joy, trust, and confidence is one of the most rewarding things ever. If you’re looking for a small companion with a tender heart, a silly streak, and a future career in toy theft, Lucy might just be your perfect match. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let this tiny treasure warm up your world and put joy in your heart! 💛🐾

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. 💖

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 Mocha — 20 Pounds of Pure Cuteness with a Lil Extra Foam! 🐾☕ Mocha is a 4-year-old Chug (that’s Chihuahua + Pug for those new to designer deliciousness) and she is serving looks, love, and just a tiny bit of extra fluff. At around 20 lbs, Mocha is the perfect “armful of dog” size — compact enough for lap duty, sturdy enough for adventures, and currently rocking what we like to call her “well-loved marshmallow phase.” Could she stand to shed a few pounds? Sure. But honestly, she wears it well. Think cuddly latte, not plain black coffee. Let’s talk personality — because this girl is a STAR. Mocha loves: • Dogs ✔ • Kids ✔ • Cats ✔ • Adults ✔ • Basically anyone with a pulse ✔ She has never met a stranger — only future best friends. Her greeting style includes enthusiastic wiggles, soulful eyes, and a face that looks like it was handcrafted by the Cute Committee. And those looks? Oh. My. Goodness. - Big expressive eyes. - Adorable squishy face. - The most boopable little nose. - And expressions that range from “I love you forever” to “I heard the treat bag crinkle from three rooms away.” Mocha is sweet, affectionate, and full of charm. She’s the type who will happily follow you around the house just to supervise your activities. Folding laundry? She’ll monitor. Cooking dinner? She’ll taste-test...willingly. Watching TV? She’s already in your lap. She’s past the puppy chaos stage and has fully entered her “professional companion” era. No wild zoomie tornadoes — just steady, loving, loyal goodness with occasional bursts of happy wiggles. Her ideal home? One that appreciates: • Snuggles on demand • A built-in best friend • Daily walks (doctor’s orders — bikini season is coming 😉) • A dog who thinks you are the center of the universe Mocha isn’t just adorable — she’s the whole package. Sweet, social, cuddly, and ridiculously good-looking. If you’re looking for a loving little shadow who will brighten your days, warm your lap, and possibly share your snacks (she will absolutely try), Mocha is ready to stir up your life in the very best way. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and bring home this sweet little latte of love ☕💛🐾

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.
