Story

Rylo is a very sweet boy. He is good on a leash and tends to be submissive around other dogs. He can get anxious in new situations but has never shown any aggression. He’s 1 years old and can not relocate with owner so needs to be rehomed . We would love to see him in a good home with someone who can play with him and take him on walks. He has a kennel and all of his things will go with him. Hw kennels really well at night. We love him!

Story

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. Hi, I’m Dana! 🐾 I’m a happy 1-year-old Terrier mix (with a little scruffy terrier charm and herding dog energy) and I weigh about 40 pounds. I’ve got this cute black-and-white coat, a big smile, and the softest ears that flop when I get excited! I’m a sweet, playful, and gentle girl, though I can be a little shy when I first meet new people. Give me some time, patience, and kindness and I’ll quickly become your biggest fan. I get along really well with other dogs and would love to have a furry sibling to play with — it helps me feel more confident and brings out my silly, bouncy side! I’m already pretty smart and doing great with house training. I know how to use the dog door like a pro, and I’m eager to learn more. I’d thrive with a family who will keep teaching me new things, help me get better on the leash, and gently build my confidence in new situations. I’m looking for an active family that will take me on adventures, give me lots of playtime, and shower me with love and positive guidance. In return, I’ll give you my whole heart — endless loyalty, cuddles, and a lifetime of being your best little shadow and adventure buddy. If you’re ready for a sweet young dog who’s excited to grow and blossom with you, I’d love to come home and be your girl!

Story

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. **Hi, I’m Callie! ❤️** I’m a happy 18-month-old Collie mix girl weighing about 50 pounds, and I’m looking for my forever family! I have these big pointy ears that I love to perk up when I see people, a fluffy sable coat that’s super soft for cuddles, and I’m almost always smiling with my tongue hanging out because life is just so good. I’m the gentlest girl you’ll ever meet — I really don’t have a mean bone in my body. I’m sweet, calm, and easygoing. I love everyone I meet and I’m great with kids and other pets. I already know all the important house rules: I’m fully housebroken, I’m a champion at using the dog door, and I’m super chill in my kennel when you need me to be. I just want to be near my people, whether that’s snuggling on the couch or going for nice walks. I promise to be your loyal, loving companion who fills your home with wags, cuddles, and plenty of smiles. All I want is a family who will love me back and give me the forever home I’ve been dreaming about. Please know that by adopting me, you’re committing to giving me a safe, loving home with good veterinary care and lots of patience while I settle in. In return, I’ll give you my whole heart every single day. Ready to bring me home? I can’t wait to meet you! 🐾

Story

Age: 1 YO Weight: 17 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Good on a schedule Crate trained: Yes If you've ever wanted a small, furry shadow, look no further! This sweet girl loves people of all ages and gets along wonderfully with dogs and cats alike. She’s happy to entertain herself with a stuffed toy of any size or chase a ball tossed her way (she’s still perfecting the return part!). She has excellent house manners, chews only on appropriate toys, keeps her kennel clean, and is generally very quiet—unless she’s excited to welcome you home. At bedtime, she loves to curl up close and sleep soundly through the night, happily waiting for you to start the day. She rides well in the car, walks nicely on a leash, and adapts easily to new situations. With her gentle nature and easygoing personality, she would be a wonderful companion for a single person, an older couple, or anyone looking for a loving, low-maintenance best friend. She is also well-suited for apartment living. Simply put, she’s an absolute delight! Adoption Fee: $795.00
