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
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 Boudreaux the sweetest Southern gentleman you'll ever meet! At 8-9 years old and around 40lbs, Boudreaux has perfected the balance between playful and relaxed. He's a laid-back guy who loves spending time with his people, whether that's lounging by your side or chasing after a tennis ball in a game of fetch. Boudreaux is looking for a new beginning after spending his entire life with the person who raised him from a puppy. Sadly, due to his owner's declining health, they can no longer care for him. This decision was made out of love, and now Boudreaux is hoping to find another family to spend his golden years with. This handsome gentleman has never met a stranger. He absolutely loves people and greets everyone like an old friend. Boudreaux has a calm, laid-back personality, but don't let his age fool you—he still lights up when it's time to play fetch! He also loves cooling off in the water, making him the perfect companion for lake days, backyard kiddie pools, or simply splashing around on a warm afternoon. This sweet boy is also great with other dogs and is fully housebroken, making him an easy addition to just about any home. With his gentle personality, good manners, and loving heart, Boudreaux is ready to spend his life bringing joy, companionship, and plenty of tail wags to a lucky family. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who will happily join you for a game of fetch, a splash in the water, or a relaxing evening at home, Boudreaux is waiting to meet you!

Story
Chico/taco has had a rough life, yet all he wants is to be loved. He’s an owner surrender and came with a really bad skin infection. He’s on the men’s and looking great now and ready for his forever home. He mostly had to fend for himself where he came from and ran with two big labs. Amazingly once I brought him into my home, he has never had an accident in the house and uses the doggie door. He’s good with all sides of Dogs and has no issues with Cats. Please open your heart and home to him so he won’t ever have to worry about being loved again. Please note: we are a FOSTOR based Rescue in Texas all of our dogs reside in Texas. We transport them to new states once Adopted. All Adopter must be 21 years or older. Our application can be found at www.haydudequine.org.

Story
Hay Dude Equine Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Texas. All of our dogs live in foster homes in TX and are transported to their new states once adopted. All adopters must be 21+. Applications can be found at haydudeequine.org. 🐾 Hi, I’m Byrdie! ❤️ I’m Byrdie, a 2-year-old brindle Staffy/Boxer mix, and I have a very important announcement to make: **I am a lover, NOT a fighter!** 🥰 I’m a gorgeous girl with a beautiful brindle coat, but my favorite thing about myself is my heart. I’m super sweet, silly, and absolutely love my people. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a minute and I’ll warm right up. Once I decide you’re my friend, prepare yourself for lots of love! I also really like other dogs and am great with my canine friends. I’m even good with horses, which is pretty impressive if I do say so myself! 🐴 Now, let’s talk about my hobbies. **I LOVE THE WATER!** 💦 And I REALLY, REALLY LOVE CAR RIDES! 🚗💨 Seriously, if you say the words “go for a ride,” I will be ready before you are. I’m pretty sure every car ride is an adventure waiting to happen. My rescue friends found me in the middle of a highway late one night, right in front of the rescue’s gate. I have no idea how I got there or where I came from, but apparently I knew exactly where I needed to be. ❤️ Now I’m hoping my next stop is **my forever home**. I’m looking for someone who wants a sweet, silly, affectionate girl to join them for adventures, car rides, water fun, and plenty of loving. I promise to be your best friend and make you laugh every single day. **I’m Byrdie—and I’m ready to fly straight into your heart.** 🐦❤️

Please note that we are a foster based rescue in TX. All of our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. We transport them to new states once adopted. ALL ADOPTERS MUST BE 21+. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org Howdy, y’all. Name’s Scout. I’m a five-month-old pup with a soft white coat, tan-tipped ears, and a heart that’s already bigger than my paws. Folks say I’ll grow up to be about 40 pounds—just the right size for curling up on the couch and still being easy to scoop up when I get the zoomies. My story started on a property with a bunch of unfixed adult dogs. It wasn’t an easy beginning. Almost all of my littermates didn’t make it—they were lost to the heat and parasites. Somehow I held on. I’m the one who made it out. And now? I’m happy. Really happy. Healthy, full of energy, and so excited for what’s next. I’m the kind of dog who greets every day like it’s the best one yet. I love people, I love other dogs, and I especially love water. Puddles, sprinklers, baths, lakes… if it’s water, I’m in it. You’ll probably catch me standing in the middle of a rainstorm with a goofy grin on my face like I just won the lottery. I’m super sweet and easygoing. I get along with just about everybody I meet and I’m happiest when I’m part of the pack—whether that pack is two-legged, four-legged, or both. I don’t do drama; I do belly rubs, silly faces, and long naps after playtime. Life’s pretty simple for me right now: eat, play, splash, snuggle, repeat. I’m looking for a forever family who wants a happy, affectionate buddy to share the good times with. Someone who’ll give me the safe, loving home I was meant to have. If you’ve got room in your heart (and maybe a hose or a pool), I think we’d get along real nice. I’m ready for my next chapter. Yours truly, Scout
