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 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. 🐾💖

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 Zsa Zsa – Pocket-Sized Diva with a Heart of Gold! Zsa Zsa is a 2-year-old, 4-pound itty-bitty sweetheart with a personality MUCH bigger than her tiny frame. We’re guessing she might be a Chihuahua/Affenpinscher mix, but her official look is best described as “adorable little wirehaired muppet.” Don’t let her petite size fool you – Zsa Zsa is packed with love, sass, and charm. She adores people, gets along great with other dogs, and believes wholeheartedly that laps were invented specifically for her comfort. Due to her size she would be better in a home without small kiddos but should be fine with older children. Zsa Zsa is especially close to her beloved sister Ava (Maltipoo?), and together they make the cutest dynamic duo you’ll ever meet. Combined, these two barely tip the scales at 16 pounds – basically an adorable set of portable happiness! We would LOVE to see them adopted together since they’re best friends and professional cuddle partners, but Zsa Zsa would also do fine on her own as long as she has a person to shower her with affection. This little gal is: • Sweet as sugar • Friendly with other dogs • Snuggly and affectionate • Small enough to fit in your purse (not that she’s asking… okay, maybe she is) • Big on personality and even bigger on love Zsa Zsa may be tiny, but she has mastered the art of making herself VERY important. She’ll happily supervise your day from your lap, your shoulder, or possibly the top of the couch cushion like the queen she believes she is. She would be a wonderful addition to just about any home – apartment, condo, house, RV, castle… she’s not picky as long as there are comfy spots and loving humans involved. If you’re looking for a pint-sized best friend with endless devotion and a whole lot of character, Zsa Zsa is ready to waltz right into your heart (preferably alongside her sister Ava!). Apply today at haydudeequine.org and prepare for life to get approximately 4 pounds cuter!

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 Sushi! Shorter Legs, Big Heart, Full of Puppy Charm 💛🐾 Roll out the cuteness carpet — because Sushi has arrived! 🐾 Sushi is a 2-month-old (DOB 12-6-25) teeny tiny nugget of puppy perfection with a personality way bigger than her little body. Her mama was a Chihuahua, dad remains a mysterious gentleman caller, and we suspect there might be a dash of low-rider goodness mixed in. Whatever the recipe, she turned out absolutely DELICIOUS. This little lady is expected grow to be around 20 lbs — the ideal size for tagging along on coffee runs, road trips, and basically every adventure you’re willing to take her on. Portable, adorable, and ready to go! Sushi is your classic happy-go-lucky puppy who wakes up every day choosing joy…and chaos. She comes fully equipped with: • Professional-grade zoomies • Olympic-level butt wiggles • Expert face-kisser certification • Advanced toy squeaker skills • Random bursts of silliness followed by immediate puppy naps At her young age she’ll do great with other dogs, kiddos, and even cats if introduced properly. She hasn’t met a human she doesn’t love and thinks the whole world is just one big playground made especially for her. Now, full disclosure: Sushi also comes with standard puppy accessories like needle-sharp teeth and teeny razor nails — but luckily those features are temporary and fade with time (and chew toys…lots of chew toys). Her favorite things include: - Sneaking into laps - Wrestling toys twice her size - Giving tiny puppy kisses - Looking innocent after causing mischief - Making your heart melt approximately every 10 minutes If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-sized best friend who will adore you like you hung the moon (even if she occasionally “borrows” a sock or two), Sushi is ready to spice up your life and steal your heart. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give this tiny bundle of wiggles, giggles, and puppy mischief the forever home she’s been dreaming about 💛🐾

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 Say hello to Tater — the cutest little spud you’ll ever meet! 🥔💙 Tater is a 2-month-old bundle of wiggly, squishy, tail-wagging puppy goodness (DOB 12-6-25). His mama was a Chihuahua and dad remains a mystery man, but we’re guessing there might be a sprinkle of dachshund or some other short-and-sturdy ingredient in the mix. Whatever his DNA says, one thing is clear: he’s 100% adorable. This little guy should grow to be around 20 lbs when fully baked — er, fully grown — making him the perfect size for car rides, couch cuddles, and tagging along on all of life’s adventures. Tater is your classic joyful, carefree puppy who thinks every day is the best day ever. He comes pre-loaded with all the standard puppy features: • Turbo-powered zoomies • Non-stop tail wiggles • Sloppy puppy kisses • Random bursts of silliness • Expert-level snuggle skills • A talent for turning ordinary socks into priceless treasures At his age, Tater should do great with other dogs, kids, and even cats if introduced properly. He’s friendly, social, and believes everyone he meets is his new best friend. Now, fair warning: like all puppies, he does come with those famous sharp little teeth and tiny needle nails — but don’t worry, those are temporary (your shoelaces will survive…probably). Tater’s favorite activities include: - Chasing toys he hasn’t quite figured out yet - Napping hard after playing harder - Crawling into laps like he owns the place - Making you laugh without even trying - Looking ridiculously cute 24/7 If you’re looking for a fun-loving, pint-sized best buddy who will fill your home with laughter, love, and just the right amount of puppy mischief, Tater is ready to be your main potato.

Noodle’s favorite hobbies include: - Stealing hearts - Collecting toys - Investigating crumbs - Perfecting her puppy dog eyes - Falling asleep in the weirdest positions possible If you’re looking for a fun-sized best friend who will adore you like you’re the greatest human ever invented (even though she may occasionally “redecorate” with a stray sock), Noodle is ready and waiting to shnoodle her way straight into your heart.
