Please meet Loki, he is a fun, loving, attention, and seeking dog. I recently moved and I cannot give him the undivided attention he needs. I have to work 2 to 3 job jobs just to get by. Loki is really smart and sweet. He is six years old.

Story
BONDED PAIR WITH LENNY (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/45655305-cincinnati-ohio-mastiff-mix)! Luther is a very sweet black lab mix. We got him in Chicago in 2014 from a shelter. Luther is fully potty trained and friendly with other dogs and kids. He has anxious tendencies including barking when scared (doorbells, generally scared of men, and pulling on the leash). When he’s in his safe place he’s very chill and cuddly and he is extremely food motivated and smart, picking up on tricks and words fast. Since we've had our 2 kids it has been hard for us to give him the attention he deserves and needs. We really love him but do believe he deserves a family that can give him more love and focused attention. We hope someone will absolutely love on this good boy for us because he means so much to us! We'd love to keep him with his little (but larger) brother, Lenny who is also listed on adoptapet.

Story
BONDED PAIR WITH LUTHER (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/37838939-cincinnati-ohio-labrador-retriever-mix). Lenny is a very sweet "gentle giant" who loves a good lean to show you he loves you. We love our Lenny so much, but since we had our 2 kids we have not been able to give our pups the attention they deserve. Lenny is a big guy and is slightly blind, so walks slowly and takes a while to get the lay of the land. He's a big couch potato otherwise, and loves to get pets and snuggles. Lenny is great with other dogs and kids, but does tend to be shy with other dogs and given we adopted him from SPCA, has some anxiety before he feels comfortable. Because he is shyer and more timid, we'd love to keep Lenny with his older brother, Luther (also listed on adoptapet), so please consider if you can take both pups home to a loving home!

Story
**Trying to get her an appointment at UCAN to be spayed before adoption; will update post if I'm able to! This sweet girl's name is Ruby! We took her in after someone posted her on facebook saying she needed rehomed that night due to them needing to be hospitalized for surgery the next day. She is approx 7 months old and weighs around 35-40 lbs. We think she is a basset hound bully mix of some sort. She is very long and has very short little legs. She has a very goofy, quirky personality and it's impossible not to fall in love with her. She is very submissive and loves all other animals and children. She's a little standoffish meeting new people, but comes around after a few min. She needs a fenced in yard (she has no road safety skills lol). She would also do best in a home with little to no stairs due to her short legs. A perfect home is a must! She is literally the sweetest girl. We were hoping she would work in our home, but we don't have a fence and it is just not safe here.

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. 🐾💖
