Freddy is a high-energy, happy-go-lucky boy who is great with dogs and kids! He loves to do big zoomies in a circle, then race right back to you for cuddles. After a long day of playing fetch—where he happily chases the ball, even if he doesn’t always bring it back—Freddy is more than ready to snuggle in. If you’re on the couch, expect him to curl right into your back and soak up the love. Freddy is a joyful, affectionate boy who is absolutely ready to find his forever home. If you want it shorter or extra playful, I can tweak the tone too Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

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 January – Tiny Package, Giant Heart ❄️🐾 2 years old • 8 lbs • Dachshund/Min Pin mix Don’t let her petite size fool you — January may weigh in at just 8 pounds, but she’s carrying around enough love to fill a whole house. This little black-and-tan sweetheart is gentle, soft-natured, and delightfully dainty. When she first meets new people, January can be a touch shy… but give her about 30 seconds and a kind word, and suddenly she’s your loyal best friend forever. Think of her as a slow-blooming flower with a very enthusiastic tail. Once she feels comfortable, January is all about quiet cuddles, cozy naps, and sticking close to her favorite humans like the world’s cutest little shadow. She’s not loud, she’s not demanding, and she definitely doesn’t need to be the center of attention — she’s just happy to be included. January’s Resume (and it’s impressive): • Great with other dogs • Friendly with cats • Wonderful with kids and adults • House trained and dog-door savvy • Up to date on vaccines • Professional couch companion Around the house, January is an easygoing, low-maintenance kind of gal. She’s got the whole “house manners” thing down and fits beautifully into a routine. Basically, she’s the roommate we all wish we had — tidy, polite, and never eats the last slice of pizza. Her idea of a perfect day? A little sunshine, a few gentle head scratches, maybe a short stroll, and a soft spot next to you on the couch. She’s not looking for wild adventures — she’s looking for a forever person to adore. If you’re hoping for a sweet, loving little companion who will quietly steal your heart (and maybe your favorite blanket), January just might be your perfect match. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let this tiny treasure warm up your world! 💛🐾

If you love dogs with a big heart, a total snuggle bug, one who longs to be your lap dog and best friend, but has a small frame and little legs to match? Well look no further because Meghan Peanut Markel was made for you! Not only is she incredibly sweet but she is absolutely adorable!! So get ready for your phone to be overrun with Meghan content because that’s exactly what is going to happen the second you bring her home. Watch her video and fall in love with her: https://youtu.be/cQ-ztshK1RE?si=DDNUiPAVLgaCzqzE Meghan Markel is a Dachshund mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs about 20lbs. She’s a little girl and the perfect size for lap snuggles, which are a favorite of hers! She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Meghan is a bit shy at first when meeting new people, in new environments and may take a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’s all about affection and spoiling you with her gentle love. She truly shines as a lap dog and is happiest curled up close to her person, soaking in love and giving it right back. Her energy level is beautifully balanced, not too busy and not too sleepy. Just the right amount of energy, the kind of pup who fits perfectly into your routine. She enjoys getting out for walks (and walks nicely on a leash!) but is just as content relaxing at home snuggled up next you on the couch binge watching your favorite show or movie. She’s dog-friendly and has done great with every dog we have introduced her to. She has met dogs her size and smaller and has also been around dogs twice her size! No matter the size, Meghan has shown to be a polite gentle lady when she meets a dog on leash and shows that same level of gentleness when meeting dogs off leash. She isn’t a super playful girl with other dogs; she prefers calm companionship over rough-and-tumble play. Meghan has the kind of easygoing personality that allows her to thrive in many living situations. She would do very well in an apartment or condo setting, especially with someone who enjoys daily walks and a relaxed routine. Her well-balanced energy level and polite leash manners make her a great neighbor-friendly companion. She would also be perfectly happy in a suburban home with a backyard, where she could enjoy sniffing around, sunbathing, and lounging after her walks. While she’d appreciate outdoor access, she doesn’t rely on a yard to be fulfilled; her happiness comes from companionship, not square footage. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who bonds deeply, loves cuddles, and brings a steady, comforting presence into your life, Meghan may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. We are willing to test Meghan Markel with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders. This girl was brought in with babies when her owner couldn't take care of her. She was not socialized very well so will need some work. She will need a very patient person to get her to come out of her shell. She was kept outside so she has no house manners, nor has she been with cats. She does do well with dogs her size and seems to like to play with them. She deserves a new chance to be a loved dog and companion. She will take a lot of time and investment but deserves a chance!

Introducing Prince Harry Royalty, a tiny king with a heart so big it doesn’t quite fit in his little body. From the moment you meet him, you’ll understand why everyone falls instantly in love. Prince Harry is the kind of dog who melts into your lap, flips over for belly rubs, and looks at you like you’re his entire world. He is pure sweetness, pure love, and honestly… pure perfection. Check out his perfect self on his YouTube video now https://youtu.be/0InVX7Qydok?si=swDscDpMsAzT6Ytb Prince Harry is one year old and what we like to call the perfect size dog, small, short, and incredibly cuddly. He absolutely lives for affection. Belly rubs? Yes please. Lap time? All day. Kisses? His favorite thing ever (giving them and getting them). In new places or around new people, Prince Harry may take just a few minutes to warm up, but it’s all part of his gentle, thoughtful nature. Give him five minutes and he’s already acting like your lifelong best friend, snuggled up close and soaking in all the love. He is incredibly kind, soft-hearted, and deeply affectionate. Prince Harry recently met a 5year old and did so wonderfully with her, he loved her and gave her plenty of kisses. He would do so amazing in a home with kids! His coloring and pattern are beautifully unique, and combined with his sweet personality, he truly stands out. We believe Prince Harry is a Doxie / Shepherd mix, giving him that adorable short stature paired with a smart, loving soul. Prince Harry Royalty is the kind of dog who will bring endless cuddles, daily laughs, and so much love into your life. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who just wants to adore you and be adored right back, this precious boy is ready to claim his throne… right in your lap. Adopt him now!

Located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders. This girl was brought in with babies when her owner couldn't take care of her. She was not socialized very well so will need some work. She will need a very patient person to get her to come out of her shell. She was kept outside so she has no house manners, nor has she been with cats. She does do well with dogs her size and seems to like to play with them. She deserves a new chance to be a loved dog and companion. She will take a lot of time and investment but deserves a chance!

Story
Introducing Prince Harry Royalty, a tiny king with a heart so big it doesn’t quite fit in his little body. From the moment you meet him, you’ll understand why everyone falls instantly in love. Prince Harry is the kind of dog who melts into your lap, flips over for belly rubs, and looks at you like you’re his entire world. He is pure sweetness, pure love, and honestly… pure perfection. Check out his perfect self on his YouTube video now https://youtu.be/0InVX7Qydok?si=swDscDpMsAzT6Ytb Prince Harry is one year old and what we like to call the perfect size dog, small, short, and incredibly cuddly. He absolutely lives for affection. Belly rubs? Yes please. Lap time? All day. Kisses? His favorite thing ever (giving them and getting them). In new places or around new people, Prince Harry may take just a few minutes to warm up, but it’s all part of his gentle, thoughtful nature. Give him five minutes and he’s already acting like your lifelong best friend, snuggled up close and soaking in all the love. He is incredibly kind, soft-hearted, and deeply affectionate. Prince Harry recently met a 5year old and did so wonderfully with her, he loved her and gave her plenty of kisses. He would do so amazing in a home with kids! His coloring and pattern are beautifully unique, and combined with his sweet personality, he truly stands out. We believe Prince Harry is a Doxie / Shepherd mix, giving him that adorable short stature paired with a smart, loving soul. Prince Harry Royalty is the kind of dog who will bring endless cuddles, daily laughs, and so much love into your life. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who just wants to adore you and be adored right back, this precious boy is ready to claim his throne… right in your lap. Adopt him now!

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 Gypsy — Short Legs, Big Heart, Still Waiting 💛🐾 Gypsy has been waiting… and waiting… and waiting. And honestly? She’s waited far too long for a girl this special. At 2 years old and 28 pounds, Gypsy is a delightful blend of Cattle Dog smarts and Basset Hound charm — think low-rider body, big-dog energy, and a personality that could light up a room. She’s basically the off-road model of a best friend: compact, sturdy, and always ready for an adventure. Gypsy LOVES her walks and is getting better and better on leash every day. She’s happiest when she’s outside, exploring the yard, supervising chores, or keeping an eye out for squirrels (her self-appointed job, and she takes it very seriously). When playtime winds down, she’s just as content following her favorite human around like a loyal little shadow. She’s playful, affectionate, and full of goofy charm. Toys are fun. Shoelaces are very intriguing. And her signature low-rider zoomies? Absolutely legendary. 🐾 Gypsy’s Highlights: ✅ 2 years old, 28 lbs ✅ Dog-friendly ✅ House & crate trained ✅ Loves walks and outdoor time ✅ Sweet, silly, and full of personality ✅ Equal parts sass, snuggles, and sunshine While Gypsy does great with other dogs, cats are an unknown — mostly because Gypsy believes squirrels are public enemy #1 — so she may prefer a home without feline roommates. What Gypsy really wants, though, isn’t much. She wants a family who will love her quirks, laugh at her goofy legs, and finally give her the forever home she’s been patiently waiting for. She’s ready to be someone’s hiking buddy, couch companion, and daily dose of happiness. 💛 Gypsy has so much love to give — she just needs someone to give her a chance. Short legs. Big heart. Endless loyalty. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Gypsy finally stop waiting and start living the life she deserves. 🐾💛

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. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give this tiny bundle of wiggles, giggles, and puppy mischief the forever home he’s been dreaming about 💛🐾
