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!

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. WE TRANSPORT OUR DOGS ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org 💛 Meet Rachel 💛 Rachel is a tiny, 8-pound, approximately 1-year-old Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix… with a heart that’s quietly waiting to bloom. She came from a hoarding situation with many other dogs, so the world is still a big, new place for her. At first, she can be a little shy—taking it all in, making sure everything is safe. But once she realizes she’s okay? Oh… that’s when the magic happens. Because underneath that shy exterior is the sweetest little soul who absolutely melts for gentle love. Because of her beginning she would probably do better in a quieter home with older children that can give her space when she needs it. Her favorite thing? Belly scratches. The kind where she slowly rolls over like, “Okay… I think I trust you… you may proceed.” And once you’re in? You’re in forever. 💛 💛 Personality: soft, gentle, and oh-so-sweet 💛 Favorite activity: belly rubs and quiet cuddles 💛 Secret talent: turning patience into the most rewarding bond you’ve ever had Rachel would truly thrive in a home with another confident dog to show her the ropes and help her see that the world isn’t so scary after all—it’s actually pretty wonderful. She’s looking for a patient, kind-hearted person who will give her the time she needs to learn all the things many dogs take for granted… Like gentle pets. Kind words. Exciting little adventures. Learning to walk on a leash for neighborhood strolls Dinner in her very own bowl. And those magical things called treats She may start off a little unsure, but with love and patience, Rachel will blossom into the most loyal, loving little companion—one who will look at you like you hung the moon. And trust us… there is nothing sweeter than earning the love of a shy dog. Apply today at haydudeequine.org if you’re ready to show this precious girl that the world is safe, kind, and full of good things (especially belly rubs)… Rachel is ready to find her happily ever after 💕

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 Phoebe 💛 Phoebe may be the tiniest of her group at just around 7 pounds… but don’t let her size fool you—there’s a whole lot of love packed into that stunning milk chocolate colored little body, just waiting to shine. At about 1 year old, Phoebe is still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. She can be a little shy when you first meet her—but give her a New York minute, and you’ll start to see her blossom into the sweetest little companion. And once she decides you’re her person? Game over. You’ve been chosen. 💛 💛 Personality: shy at first, but warming up into a total sweetheart 💛 Social life: loves playing with other dogs and would truly thrive with a confident canine buddy 💛 Life goal: find her human and never let them go Phoebe came from a hoarding situation with many other dogs, so she’s just now discovering all the wonderful things most pups take for granted—gentle pets, kind voices, meals in her very own bowl, and those magical little things called treats (she’s pretty sure those are going to be a favorite). She’s looking for a patient, loving home—ideally a quieter one with older, gentle kiddos—where she can continue to grow in confidence at her own pace. A doggy sibling would be a huge bonus, helping her navigate the “big, exciting world” moments and showing her that everything is, in fact, pretty a-ok. Phoebe is the kind of dog whose journey is just beginning. Every day, she gets a little braver, a little more playful, a little more herself. And being the person who gets to watch that transformation? That’s the really special part. And fair warning… once she comes out of her shell, don’t be surprised if this tiny little thing turns into your full-time shadow—following you around like, “Hi yes, I live here now and I will love you forever.” Apply today at haydudeequine.org if you have the patience, the kindness, and maybe a cozy spot on the couch… Phoebe is ready to find her person and start her happily ever after 💕

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 Chandler 🤎 Chandler is a 1-year-old, 10-pound Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix with the most beautiful dark chocolate coat… and a heart that’s still learning it’s safe to shine. Out of his group, Chandler is the shyest. The quiet observer. The one who hangs back just a little, taking it all in and hoping—very softly—that everything is going to be okay. And the really special part? He’s already starting to believe it is. He’ll take treats gently from your hand (a very brave move, if you ask him), and he gets excited to see familiar faces. It’s like watching someone slowly discover that the world might actually have good things in it… and that people can be kind. Chandler came from a hoarding situation where life was very different from what most dogs know. So now, everything is new… and a little confusing… but also full of possibility. He’s looking for a calm, patient home—likely without small children—where he can take his time learning all the things other dogs take for granted: A soft voice that tells him he’s safe Gentle hands that give pets instead of uncertainty Meals in his very own bowl Leashes that lead to little neighborhood adventures And those magical little things called treats (he’s already a fan) Another confident dog in the home would be a huge help, showing him the ropes and reminding him that life can actually be pretty wonderful. Chandler isn’t the kind of dog who will rush into your arms on day one… but he is the kind of dog whose love, once earned, will mean everything. The quiet tail wags, the soft eyes, the “I trust you” moments—they’re the kind you never forget. And one day, don’t be surprised if this shy little guy turns into your tiny shadow… following you around like, “Okay… I think I live here now… and I love you.” Apply today at haydudeequine.org if you have the patience, the kindness, and the heart to help Chandler bloom... he’s ready to start his next chapter—with you 💕
