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 Scout — A Loyal Heart Ready to Finally Belong 🐾💙 Scout is a 1-year-old, 40-pound bundle of sweetness who has somehow grown up without one very important thing… a family of his own. Born into an unwanted litter, Scout and his siblings missed out on the comforts most puppies take for granted — couches, bedtime routines, and humans who call them theirs. But somehow, Scout never let that dim his spirit. Scout is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and playful, with a heart that’s clearly been saving up love just waiting for the right people. He’s great with other dogs and kids, and greets life with a wagging tail and a hopeful look that says, “Is this my family?” His mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad? Well… dad was apparently a traveling salespup, charming his way through town and leaving us with a mystery — possibly shepherd, possibly heartthrob, definitely good looks. Whatever the mix, Scout inherited the best parts: brains, athleticism, and a deep desire to be close to his people. Scout is playful and energetic, and would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, adventures, games, and the kind of everyday moments that mean everything to a dog who’s waited so long. He’s the type who will happily run beside you one minute and lean his whole body into you the next, just to be sure you know how grateful he is. 🐕 Scout’s Highlights: ✅ 1 year old, 40 lbs ✅ Sweet, affectionate, and people-loving ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Playful and active — adventure buddy approved ✅ Smart, eager, and ready to learn ✅ Missed out on puppyhood comforts, but not on love Scout doesn’t want to miss another second of what he’s waited his whole life for — a home, a family, and someone to love him back just as fiercely as he’ll love them. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Scout the happy ending he’s been scouting for all along. 🐾💙

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🌼🐾 Meet Daisy — Sunshine in Fur Form, Ready to Bloom in a Home 🐾🌼 Daisy is a 1-year-old, ~40-pound sweetheart who has spent her entire puppyhood waiting for something most dogs never have to wait for — a family to call her own. Born into an unwanted litter, Daisy and her siblings grew up without the comfort of couches, bedtime snuggles, or humans who made them feel chosen. But despite it all, Daisy’s heart stayed soft, hopeful, and full of love. Daisy is gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully friendly, with a playful side that comes out once she feels safe. She does great with other dogs and kids, and has a calm, loving presence that makes you want to sit down beside her and stay awhile. She’s the kind of dog who leans in close, quietly soaking up affection like she’s making up for lost time. Her mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad? Well… dad was apparently a traveling salespup, charming his way through town and leaving us with a mystery — possibly shepherd, possibly heartthrob, definitely good looks. Whatever the mix, Daisy inherited the best parts: brains, athleticism, and a deep desire to be close to her people. Daisy would love an active but loving home — one that enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures, but also understands the magic of slowing down and just being together. She’s ready to learn, eager to please, and so excited to finally experience what it means to be part of a family. 🐕 Daisy’s Darling Details: ✅ 1 year old, ~40 lbs ✅ Sweet, gentle, and affectionate ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Playful with a calm, loving heart ✅ Smart and ready to learn ✅ Has waited patiently for her chance at a home Daisy is ready to bloom into the best version of herself — all she needs is someone willing to give her the love she’s been missing. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and help Daisy finally plant her paws where she belongs: right in your heart and 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 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. 🐾💖

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 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 💛🐾

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 Blitz — The Sweetest Soul Still Waiting 🌟 Male • DOB 12/15/24 • ~55–60 lbs Blitz has been waiting for his forever home since before Christmas… and if anyone deserves to start the new year (and the next, and the next) surrounded by love, it’s this gentle boy. At about a year old and 55–60 lbs, Blitz is a soft-hearted, tender soul who just needs a little extra time to feel safe. He’s not the “life of the party” type — he’s more the “stands quietly beside you and loves you with his whole heart” type. And honestly? That kind of love hits different. Blitz can be a bit shy at first, but once he trusts you, that tail starts wagging like it’s powered by pure happiness. His loyalty runs deep. He bonds closely, loves gently, and will look at you like you hung the moon (even if all you did was hand him a cookie). 💛 Blitz’s Highlights: 🐾 Sweet, shy, and incredibly loyal 🐾 Around 55–60 lbs of gentle giant goodness 🐾 Good with other dogs — would truly thrive with a confident canine buddy 🐾 Neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go 🐾 Appreciates treats, soft voices, and slow, patient affection 🐾 Professional quiet companion Blitz came from an unwanted litter that lingered in rescue far too long. While other pups were heading home, he kept waiting. And waiting. He doesn’t understand why — he just knows he hasn’t found his person yet. He would do best in a patient home that understands shy dogs blossom in their own time. A friendly dog sibling would be a huge plus to help show him that the world isn’t such a scary place. Once he settles in, you’ll see his playful side peek out — a little bounce here, a happy tail swish there. He’s got it in him. He just needs someone to believe in him. Blitz isn’t asking for much. - A soft bed. - A kind voice. - A steady routine. - Maybe a few treats (okay, definitely a few treats). In return, you’ll get quiet loyalty, gentle companionship, and the kind of steady love that makes a house feel like home. He’s been waiting far too long. Let’s not make him wait any longer. 👉 Apply at haydudeequine.org and give Blitz the forever he’s been so patiently hoping for. 💛🐾
