Story
Please note that this dog is currently located in TX and will be transported once adopted. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. 🐾 Meet Vaquero! 🤠 **Rat Terrier Mix • Born May 15, 2026 • 7 lbs of pure puppy perfection** ### Here's what the humans have to say about me: Please note that we are a foster-based rescue in TX. All of our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. We transport them to new states once adopted. **ALL ADOPTERS MUST BE 21+.** Our adoption application can be found at **haydudeequine.org**. Now that we've gotten the boring human stuff out of the way… **HI! I’M VAQUERO!** 🐶 I may weigh only 7 pounds, but I have apparently decided that I need to fill every available inch of your heart, your lap, and possibly your home. I am a **Rat Terrier mix puppy**, which means I come with an impressive combination of adorable, playful, curious, and just the right amount of *“What’s that?! I MUST INVESTIGATE!”* 😂 I love wrestling with my brothers, chasing toys, exploring everything I can possibly find, and generally making sure nobody in the house gets too comfortable. I believe puppies should be busy. There are toys to chase! Things to sniff! Brothers to tackle! But after all that important puppy business, I am very happy to clock out and report for **snuggle duty**. ❤️ Give me a warm lap and a cozy spot, and I will happily curl up in your arms for a nap. I am basically a tiny adventure buddy who comes with a built-in cuddle setting. I'm also doing **really well with my potty training** and am eager to keep learning. I'm a smart little guy, and with a family willing to keep teaching me, I'm going to make an excellent companion. I get along wonderfully with **dogs of all sizes** and do well with **cats**, too. I love people, I love adventures, I love playtime, and I REALLY love being loved. So whether you're looking for a hiking buddy, a playmate, a couch potato, a professional snuggler, or someone who will make you laugh approximately 47 times a day… **Vaquero has submitted his application for the position.** 🐾 I'm small right now, but I've got a **BIG personality and an even bigger heart**. All I need now is a forever family to grow up with. **Come meet me. I have a feeling we're going to be best friends.** ❤️

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 Athena 💕🐾 Athena is a 2½-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 6 pounds, but don’t let her tiny size fool you — this little girl has a heart big enough to fill a room! Athena has been through something no dog should have to experience. She suffered a head injury that left her with some permanent brain damage. Thankfully, she does not have seizures, but she does walk with an adorable head tilt and has a bit of a goofy, quirky way about her. Her differences only make her that much more special. Athena is good with other dogs and would love a peaceful, quiet home where she can feel safe and take her time settling in. She can be shy when she first meets someone, but once she realizes she is loved and safe, she warms up beautifully. And when Athena loves you, she loves with her whole heart. ❤️ Because of her tiny size and delicate nature, we are looking for a home without small children. Her ideal person will be patient, understanding, and willing to give her the time she needs to build confidence and adjust to her new surroundings. Athena may do things a little differently, but she doesn't let that stop her from being a sweet, loving little dog. She deserves someone who will see past her head tilt and goofy walk and recognize the amazing little soul underneath. If you're looking for a tiny companion with a HUGE heart, Athena may be your girl. 🥰🐶 🏡 Ideal home: Quiet and calm 🐾 Dogs: Good with other dogs ❤️ Personality: Initially shy, then incredibly loving 👧 Children: No small children recommended ✨ Special needs: Head tilt and neurological differences from previous head injury; no seizures

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 Chula! ☀️🐾 At 9 years old and 13 pounds, Chula is proof that the best things in life come in small, perfectly seasoned packages. 💕 This sweet girl is looking for a quiet, loving home where she can enjoy the simple things in life — sunshine, interesting smells, and a person to call her own. Chula would be an especially wonderful companion for someone who is retired or looking for a calmer, easygoing best friend. She loves nothing more than finding a cozy sunny spot and basking in the warmth. ☀️ But don't let her age fool you — Chula still has plenty of curiosity and personality! Give her a yard and a squirrel, and you've got entertainment! 🐿️ Chula enjoys chasing squirrels and loves taking her time investigating all the fascinating smells the world has to offer. She'd be happy to stroll around with her nose to the ground, taking in all the neighborhood news. When it comes to other dogs, Chula can take a little while to warm up, so she would prefer to be the only dog in her forever home. She'd love having all the attention to herself and being someone's special little companion. Chula isn't looking for a hectic lifestyle or endless excitement. She's looking for a peaceful home, a soft place to nap in the sun, and a person who will appreciate her for the wonderful older girl she is. ❤️ If you're ready to give a sweet senior girl the relaxed and loving retirement she deserves, Chula would love to meet you! 🐾☀️ 🐾 Age: 9 years ⚖️ Weight: 13 lbs. ♀️ Sex: Female 🏡 Ideal home: Calm, quiet home — a retired person would be wonderful 🐶 Other dogs: Prefers to be the only dog ☀️ Favorite things: Sunbathing, squirrel chasing & investigating smells

Story
Application Link: https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/ARH-A-305 Adoption fee is $360 All dogs are fixed, up-to-date on age appropriate shots and micro-chipped. Coco is a sweet, outgoing little momma dog. She has really come out of her shell since joining us here at ARH. She came with 5 other chi mixes from a terrible situation in upper KY. The group was found in an shed, no light, no water, some gross food and feces on the floor. The shelter they ended up in was a high kill shelter and taking in 6 dogs at once in an already overcrowded shelter landed them immediately on the euthanasia list. They are all doing great, are good about going in the crate and housetrained.

Story
RUSTY IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL BE PATIENT WITH HIS HEART. Meet Rusty. This sweet 3-year-old Chihuahua–Dachshund–Pug mix has been through more change than any little dog should have to endure. He came from a hoarding situation where he received very little positive attention and had never even experienced the outside world. He eventually found his way into foster care, where he began learning what it feels like to be safe. Then, through no fault of his own, Rusty’s world changed again. His momma passed away, and there was no one left to care for him. So Rusty came back to rescue. But here’s the beautiful part. In just two weeks back in his foster home, Rusty has already gained so much confidence. He’s starting to relax, show more of his personality, and discover that maybe—just maybe—the world isn’t such a scary place after all. Rusty isn't going to be the dog who runs up to a stranger and jumps into their lap. He needs time. He needs patience. He needs someone who will let him decide when he’s ready to take that next step. He also needs a self-assured dog in the home to help his confidence grow. But if you’re willing to go at Rusty’s pace, you may get to experience something incredibly special: the moment a scared little dog finally realizes he is safe with you. Rusty is potty trained, sleeps quietly in his crate, loves toys and popcorn, and enjoys playing with other dogs. He does well with cats, too! A calm home, patient humans, and a securely fenced yard are musts for this special boy. Rusty doesn't need someone to “fix” him. He just needs someone willing to believe in him. Could you be the person who gives Rusty the time, patience, and forever home he deserves? He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and is available for adoption now.

Story
Sometimes a name just fits, and Precious is definitely one of those dogs. At 10 years young, she's a sweet, gentle, low-energy girl who can be timid at first, but give her a little time and her affectionate personality begins to shine. Precious gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has settled right into her foster pack (3 large dogs and 2 other chihuahuas) she's even starting to play a little! She loves being near her person—curling up beside her foster mom while she works or occasionally deciding they should share the office chair. She enjoys cuddles but is also perfectly content relaxing on her own. Once Precious bonds with you, she becomes your little lookout and will alert you when she hears something unfamiliar. She's shy with new visitors and just needs a little time to warm up. She's crate trained, walks well and has the cutest little prance. She gets around great and even uses a stool to hop onto the bed. Precious is also discovering TREATS—and she's a big fan! She's got quite the nose for people food, too. One exception: peanut butter is unacceptable. Precious has standards. She's still working on potty training and will let you know when she needs a nighttime potty break. She has no known pre-existing medical conditions. Precious may be 10, but she's still discovering new things and showing us more of her personality every day. She's looking for a patient, loving home where she can enjoy plenty of cozy spots, treats (hold the peanut butter!) and companionship. Sweet, gentle and just a little shy—that's our Precious. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
