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 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. 💖

Hey, hey! Milo here- just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? My life is going pretty dang great, however I am missing one thing. It’s a family to call my own! My last mom owned me since I was just a puppy until now. She could no longer care for me so I found myself as an orphan… I wasn't socialized much as a young pup so I am more of a one or two person kind of dog. I am up for any adventure that involves just spending time with me! I love laying on the couch watching Netflix, a good football game or a nice long walk. I found myself stuck to my foster mom like her little shadow, but she has lots of other shadows too so I want to find my own family. I get along with all dogs as long as they are respectful of my age and size, I don't mind cats at all either. Fast moving kids will not be my thing, they are just so unpredictable and loud. I love to be cuddled and snuggled. Sleeping under the covers is a must as my hair is so fine I get cold easily. I have mastered this potty thing and haven't had accidents in weeks now! I am off leash trained but only to my one or two special humans. If you think you could be one of my special humans- apply for me today! You can apply for me at: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt Name: Milo DOB: 5/5/19 Weight: 17 lbs Breed: Chihuahua mix Sex: Male Altered: Yes Adoption: 400 Good with Cats: I don’t mind kitties! Good with Dogs: Yes, of course. Good with Kids: Older, calmer kids preferred. Special Requirements: None *Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member. It can also help set up a relationship with greater odds of success integrating your new pet into your family. Anyone who provides proof of completed positive reinforcement training will receive a 100 dollar refund from Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc! If you have questions or are wondering if the class you want to take qualifies please reach out! ♥ Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc is a 501c3 non-profit organization ##2185215##

Hi, I’m Rowdy – The Snuggle King, Ice Cream Connoisseur, and Bone Bandit Extraordinaire Breed: Chihuahua/Poodle Mix | DOB: 5/3/19Weight: 17 lbs of pure snuggle | Adoption Fee: $400 Apply to adopt me – you won’t regret it!What’s up, future family?Name’s Rowdy—but I swear I’m more teddy bear than troublemaker. I’m just a little guy with a big heart, a love for ice cream, and a talent for burrowing under the covers like a champion.Let’s get this out of the way: I am the best kisser in the tri-state area. No contest. If you don’t like puppy smooches, we might have a problem. But if you do? Buckle up. Here’s the Lowdown on Me:• I’m shy at first. I won’t lie—I need some time to warm up to new people. Loud noises and sudden movements? Not a fan. But once I trust you, I’m the clingiest, coziest cuddlebug you’ve ever met. I will be in your lap, under your blanket, and possibly stealing your pillow.• I LOVE to snuggle under the covers. It’s basically my full-time job.• I enjoy going to dog bars and sipping on a good puppuccino while pretending I’m cool and mysterious.• I will eat all the ice cream you allow me to have. No shame. Sharing? Never heard of it.• I’m great with other dogs (especially chill ones) and I’m cool with cats—as long as they’re the kind that don’t mind me being a little too friendly.• Got a bone? Cool. I’ll probably borrow it. “Forever” is a flexible term, right? What I’m Looking For:• A calm home where I can settle in at my own pace. I need people who understand that gaining my trust is like winning the lottery. But instead of cash, you get a best friend who follows you to the bathroom.• A secure fence, because if I get scared, I might try out for the doggy Olympics (fence-jumping edition).• Another easygoing doggy sibling who doesn’t mind sharing their snacks and showing me the ropes.• Kids? I can do respectful, dog-savvy kids who know not to interrupt a man during his beauty nap or when he’s hiding in his safe spot. Potty Talk (Let’s Be Real):I’m doing awesome with house training—as long as I have a consistent routine. I’m not a wizard. I need structure. And also treats. Lots of treats. Bonus for My Future Fam:If you take me to a positive reinforcement training class, you’ll get $100 back from Fetch Foster and Rescue! That’s like… so many doggy donuts. (You don’t have to spend it on me, but, like… you should.) In Conclusion:I’m quirky, I’m cuddly, I’ve got a smooch that’ll melt your heart, and I just need someone who’s willing to go slow and love me lots. In return, you’ll get a best friend who snuggles hard, naps harder, and will never turn down a road trip to the ice cream shop.If you’ve got a cozy couch, some spare bones, and a little patience—I’ve got a whole lot of love (and probably a little dog drool) to give. Wanna meet me? Let’s make magic. Apply to adopt me here!https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adoptWith licks, snuggles, and sweet dreams,– Rowdy ##1098397##

Story
Name: Nala Spice level: &#239&#184&#143&#239&#184&#143 Age: 2 yrs Breed: chi mix Gender: female Weight: 12 lbs Good with kids: unknown, older would likely be best if any Good with dogs: yes, but no puppies Good with cats: unknown Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Scheduled, please read entire bio Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Foster location: Green Bay Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio: Meet the spicy little weirdo of your dreams!  Nala joins us from a shelter a few hours away. She raised a bit of heck after her admission, so of course we liked what we heard! The caring shelter staff showed her love and consistency to help her break out of her shell, and we are the lucky rescue who gets to help her find her forever! Nala unfortunately experienced a false pregnancy. The shelter staff provided support, and got her through it. While her spay is scheduled, waiting until 6 weeks after symptoms subsided so her uterus could involate was a must. Not to worry, because we’ll get her what she needs and she will never have to experience a false pregnancy again! Now, onto the spice. Nala loves toys. Nala hoards toys. She can get a tad possessive, not to be confused with aggressive. Girl loves to pile up the goods- she will pretend to chomp another dog who approaches her toy pile. Emphasis on pretend- basically you have to like the chi breed and the mischief they bring if you are interested in Nala. She would not not be a great second dog to add to your household if you haven’t done so before.  She could absolutely thrive as an only dog- and is the epitome of loyal after she has had time to decompress. Nala warmed up to the lady of the house first- so whoever is home more often will likely become her first best friend. She will bark at new people entering the house, and comes in hot- but within a few minutes she is approaching for pets. She acts a bit tough initially, but quickly drops the act and cooperates with being picked up, etc But wait, theres more…..when we said weirdo, we weren’t kidding. She may act excited over food, but….she isn’t a big eater. Decompression takes time, but home girl wouldn’t touch the first two meals she was offered. She doesn’t want to eat if she is completely alone- but is hyper focused on rejoining the other dogs if foster mom sits with her in a gated area. She has eaten “enough” with constant encouragement from foster mom- but its an odd experience if you’re used to food motivated dogs. Nala just may have a case of FOMO.  Let us help you spice up your life in 2026, consider Nala! Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823. Meet and greets are arranged after an application has been approved. An approved application does not mean you must adopt the dog of interest, if it isn't a good fit.January 26, 2026, 10:03 am
