Story
I`m a spotted gentleman with a big heart, endless energy, and a very serious commitment to snack quality control. I`m happiest when I`m by your side, whether we`re going on adventures, playing around in the yard, or just hanging out together after a long day. I`ve been told I`m equal parts goofy and sweet, and I fully believe every moment is better with a wagging tail involved. Bonus points if you carry treats. I will absolutely act like they`re the greatest thing ever created. I`m looking for someone who appreciates cuddles, playtime, and a loyal best friend who`s always excited to see you.

Story
We got Ivy when she was 6 months old. She is now 4 years old. She is a wonderful, loving dog who thinks she is a lap dog. Ivy does not require a fenced yard as she is currently living on a farm and stays near the house. She does well with children, other dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens. She prefers to cuddle in bed but is also crate trained and has no problem sleeping in a crate if desired. Unfortunately, she has chronic ear infections that we cannot afford to properly care for. This has left her with cauliflower ear on one side. She deserves a home that will love her unconditionally and give her a pain free life.

Story
***PLEASE READ HIS BIO CAREFULLY TO BE SURE YOU CAN MEET HIS NEEDSRiver came to us 6 weeks ago as an extremely underweight young Dalmatian after spending his life chained outside without enough food or socialization. Since then, this sweet boy has gained 10 lbs on a careful refeeding schedule and is finally feeling well enough to start looking for his forever family. 🖤🤍🐾 About River:• Young male Dalmatian• Medium size, expected around 45 lbs once fully filled out• Sweet, people-loving boy despite his rough past• Crate trained in foster care• Learning house training• Does well on a cable or in a fenced yard• Knows “sit” and is learning patience• Loves dog beds• Has not really learned how to play with toys yet because survival and food were always his focusRiver is Lyme positive, which is being treated and is NOT contagious. He is heartworm negative, vaccinated, on monthly preventatives, and will be neutered and microchipped before adoption.Because Dalmatians are prone to urinary stones, River is currently on a prescription urinary care food. At this time we do not know if this will be lifelong or temporary. A 27 lb bag costs approximately $140, so we want adopters to carefully consider this financial commitment before applying. We will send his current open bag and a brand new bag home with him, but it will likely only last 4–6 weeks.🍽️ Food behaviors:River came to us starving, and while his body is healing, his mind still believes food may disappear at any moment. He currently:• Needs slow feeder bowls or feeder balls• Searches counters and trash cans for food• Should be fed separately from other pets initially• May need lifelong feeding managementBecause of this, we do not feel a home with toddlers or very young children is the best fit, as food in little hands could be too tempting for him. He has seen young children through a gate in foster care and otherwise seemed perfectly fine with them.We do not yet know how River feels about cats.River lived in a foster home for 2 weeks where he learned:🏡 Crates are safe🏡 Bedrooms can be relaxing🏡 People can be kind🏡 Dog beds are amazingHe occasionally had accidents when left loose, but overall did very well. He also rode in the car crated, which he wasn’t thrilled about, but handled appropriately.After a lifetime of neglect, River still loves people and wants connection. He simply needs a patient family willing to teach him how to be a dog and continue showing him that he never has to worry about food or safety again. With reward-based training, patience, and consistency, we believe River has the potential to become an incredible companion. ❤️We are requiring applications for River. Please apply here:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sr2794&method=online_form_html&formid=21💲 Adoption fee: $150We're open Monday through Friday 12-5 pm and Saturday 11-3 pm. We're located at 9331 State Route 124 Hillsboro, OH. Our adoption is open and easy, please come to the shelter to meet the animals in person to adopt.

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 Shirley — A Soft Soul with a Big Heart (and a Little Extra Fluff) 🐾🌸 Shirley is a June 2023 baby, weighing in at about 60 pounds — though her ideal weight is closer to 50 (she’s currently rocking that “well-loved” look 😄). She’s spayed, fully vetted, and comes with what can only be described as an impressively solid resume for a family dog. Shirley checks all the important boxes: ✅ Good with other dogs ✅ Great with kids ✅ House trained ✅ Up to date on vaccines ✅ Loyal, loving, and well-mannered ✅ Professional belly-rub enthusiast At first, Shirley can be a teeny bit shy — the kind of girl who likes to observe before jumping in — but give her a moment and she’ll melt right into you. Once she trusts you, she’s all about the belly rubs, quiet companionship, and loyal sidekick energy. She’s sweet, gentle, and has a calm presence that makes her a joy to be around. She’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention — she just wants to be near her people, soaking up love and offering it right back. Whether it’s lounging at your feet, joining you for a walk, or quietly supervising household activities, Shirley is happy just being part of a family. And yes… she could stand to lose a few pounds — but honestly, that just means more motivation to strap on that fitbit and getting your steps in... together, right? 😉 Shirley is ready for a home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished — a place where she can finally settle in and be someone’s “good girl” for life. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Shirley the forever home she so deeply deserves. 🐾💖

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our adoption application can be found at haydudeequine.org. Meet Smee! Ahoy! I'm Smee, and just like my namesake from Peter Pan, I'm on the hunt for my very own Captain Hook... except I'm hoping mine comes with treats, belly rubs, and a forever home! Born in November 2025 and weighing around 70 pounds, I'm a big, goofy puppy with the sweetest heart. People say I look like a little cow—not just because of my adorable black-and-white markings, but because I'm built like one too! My size might be impressive, but I'm really just a gentle giant who wants to be close to my people. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I LOVE water. Kiddie pools, stock tanks, puddles—you name it! My favorite pastime is climbing into a water tank, sinking down until I'm completely submerged, and leaving just my eyes above the surface like a little alligator. It's guaranteed to make you laugh. When I'm not making a splash, you'll usually find me carrying around a toy or convincing someone to play a game of tug-of-war. I get along great with other dogs and love having canine friends, but if you ask me what I love most, the answer is easy: people. I'm the definition of a loyal companion. I'll happily rest my big head on your shoulder or in your lap, soaking up all the love you're willing to give. Even though I'm still a puppy (which means I have the occasional silly puppy moment), I'm surprisingly laid-back and easygoing. I'm also working hard on my potty training, and I'm doing a fantastic job! I'm eager to learn and even more eager to make my family proud. If you're looking for a happy, affectionate, water-loving best friend with a heart as big as he is, then I just might be your perfect first mate. All I need now is a family to call my own. Could you be the Captain Hook I've been searching for?
