Story
Do you want a small dog companion but NOT a lap dog? Do you want a dog who will run from you rather than towards you? Do you want a dog who prefers the company of other dogs over you? Well then I have got the perfect dog for you!! Please give a warm welcome to Clementine! In all seriousness, she is an adorable little girl. Clementine came to Hart in June 2021 and has been in the same foster home ever since. She with so many others was rescued from a hoarding situation in Tennessee. To this day, she still exhibits nervousness around people. For this reason, she is looking for a very special adopter. The adopter will need to be very patient with her and give her ample time to show her brand of affection. While she still runs from me if I try to approach her to pet her, she does make her way over to me at bedtime for lovings. She will even sleep in bed with me and give me some sweet kisses. But when it’s time to get up, she darts away again. I truly can’t explain it but I have learned to accept it. Clementine does great with her doggy friends. She is most comfortable with other dogs. The ideal adopter will have another dog in the home that will groom and “mother” her. She loves having a dog around that she can curl up with!! Also, since she is hard to catch, a fenced in yard would be best for her. Due to the fact that Clementine can be a challenge to catch and she does not come when called, any meet/greets will have to be done at the adopter’s home and only within 25 miles of the Northern Kentucky area. PS Guard your socks. She loves socks (haha)

Story
Hi, I am Rosie and I am super shy. I am about 6 years old, have been with HART since June 2021 and am looking for a home to call my own. I came from a hoarding situation where over 150 doggies just like me were living together in a small house. My ideal space will either be with one of my friends (King is extra snuggly) or in a home with a dog about my size to hang around. I am a pretty easy going gal and am not territorial about my food, toys or treats. I don't mind cats but a doggie friend is a must for me. I am happiest if I get to roam around a yard with a fence as I have rarely been on a leash and just don't like it. I think I could learn to love humans and their attention but I will need time and patience as I am just learning what it is like to be loved. Think you might be the family for me? Please fill out an adoption application NOW at rescueahart.org as I have been waiting way too long for a place to call my own!

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. ❤️🐾🎨

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 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.

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 💛 Meet Faye – The Tiny Mama With a Heart Full of Love! 💛 At just 2 years old and a dainty 9 pounds, Faye is the definition of pure sweetness wrapped in a chihuahua-sized package. This little mama has raised her babies with all the love in the world, and now it’s her turn to finally be the cherished one. Faye is the kind of pup who melts—yes, literally melts—into your hands when you pet her. One gentle touch and she turns into warm, snuggly pudding. She’s piddle pad trained, great with other dogs, and has perfected the ancient chi art of “looking adorable at all times.” And privacy? Yeah… about that. Faye believes privacy is a myth created by humans who haven’t experienced true love yet. She’s a professional Shadow Dog™ — wherever you go, she goes, right behind you, like your fluffy emotional support fairy. Bathroom trips? Meetings? Midnight fridge raids? Don’t worry, she’s on duty. Because she bonds deeply and adores being close to her person, Faye would do best in a home where someone is retired, works from home, or just wants a constant companion who thinks they hung the moon. ✨ Faye’s Lovely Little Highlights: • 2 years old, 9 lbs — small girl, big heart • Super sweet snugglebug • Piddle pad trained • Great with other dogs • Former dedicated mama, now ready to be adored herself • The softest, clingiest shadow you’ll ever meet • Specializes in warming laps and stealing hearts Faye is ready to trade her mama duties for a life full of cuddles, comfort, and being someone’s whole world. 👉 Apply at haydudeequine.org — Faye is ready to follow you anywhere… literally. 💕🐶

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🐶💖
