Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🌿🐾 Meet Bergamont — aka “Bergy,” the Sweetest Little Cuddlebug Around 🐾🌿 Male • ~3–4 Months Old • Heeler Mix • Professional Snuggle Apprentice Say hello to Bergamont, lovingly known as Bergy, a 3–4 month old Heeler mix — a brave little pup who almost ran out of time at a crowded shelter, but thankfully someone noticed that this sweet boy still had a whole lifetime of puppy shenanigans left to deliver. Thankfully, he is now safe — and ready to show the world just how much love can fit inside one small, wiggly puppy. Bergy is the kind of pup who melts hearts without even trying. He’s got a gentle soul, soft eyes, and a personality that leans heavily toward “please pet me forever.” Now, Bergy may take a little moment to settle in when he first arrives somewhere new. After his rough start in life, he just likes a minute to make sure everything is safe. But once he realizes he’s among friends? Oh boy… that sweet personality comes shining out like the sun. Suddenly you’ll have a full-time cuddle assistant who thinks the best place in the world is curled up right next to you (or partially on you… personal space is optional when you’re this cute). But don’t be fooled — Bergy is still very much a playful puppy. His daily routine includes: • Investigating every toy like it’s a scientific experiment • Participating in backyard zoomie practice • Wrestling politely with dog friends • Exploring the yard like a tiny wilderness adventurer • Dramatic puppy naps after all that hard work Bergy has a gentle, slightly submissive personality with other dogs, which makes him a wonderful playmate and an easygoing companion for a multi-dog home. He’s also doing fantastic with potty training and crate training, and he actually sees his crate as his cozy little safe zone where he can recharge after a busy day of puppy activities. And here’s the secret to Bergy’s heart: snacks. This boy is very food motivated, which makes training both fun and effective. Bring treats and he’ll happily attend all your training sessions. Bergy is the perfect blend of puppy playfulness and cuddle buddy sweetness. The family lucky enough to adopt him will get a loyal little sidekick who loves adventures during the day and curling up close when the day is done. Expect life with Bergy to include: • Puppy zoomies • Toy explosions across the living room • Cozy cuddle sessions • Silly puppy moments that make you laugh out loud • And a best friend who just wants to be near his people 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Bergy the loving 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 💛 Meet Lola - Your Blue-eyed Beauty Best Friend💛 If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be completely adored… Lola would like to show you. This 3-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix is 65 pounds of love, loyalty, and “good girl energy” wrapped up in one absolutely gorgeous bright blue-eyed package. And the best part? She already comes with manners! Sit, down, wait—she knows her basics and is always eager to show off (especially if there’s praise or snacks involved… or both… preferably both). Lola walks beautifully on a leash, gets along great with other dogs and even cats, and has the kind of personality that just makes life easier—and a whole lot happier. But let’s talk about her signature move. When Lola wants a little extra love (or maybe just one more treat… or five), she gently lifts her paw and holds it up like, “Excuse me… yes… I’ll take more of that, please.” And just like that—you’re done for. Completely charmed. No chance of saying no. Lola is incredibly loving and thrives on being close to her people. She’s the kind of dog who will happily follow you from room to room, just to make sure you’re not missing her. (Spoiler: you are.) She’s got just the right mix of calm and playful—ready for a walk or an outing, but also more than happy to settle in and soak up all the love you’re willing to give. Apply today at haydudeequine.org if you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate best friend who will make you laugh, melt your heart, and politely demand “more please” with her adorable paw… Lola is your girl 💕

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. 🐾💖

Story
Please note that we are a TX based rescue. We transport our dogs to new homes once adopted. All our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org Hi. I’m Bella. Yes, that Bella—the one who literally chose her human. One day I just… followed my now-mom and her dogs home like, “This seems right.” And honestly? Best decision I’ve ever made. I’m about 2 years old (vet’s best guess, but have you seen my teeth? Very white. Very youthful. Iconic.) and 66 pounds of smart, sweet, slightly opinionated perfection. I’m some kind of part Shepherd/part angel mixup of breeds, which basically means I’m beautiful, athletic, and smarter than your average roommate. Let’s get into my resume: • Human-Oriented Queen – I like to be near my person. Preferably always. • Extremely Smart – I learned sit, high five, and treat-catching immediately. I’m basically a prodigy. • Toy Enthusiast – my stuffed Highland cow and tiny T-rex? My prized possessions. • Excellent Communicator – I will bark to let you know when I need to go out to do my bidness in the yard. Efficient. Clear. Respectful. A few notes from management (me): I prefer to approach new people on my terms—no surprise greeters, please. I’ve got boundaries, and honestly, good for me. I do great with other dogs, but have not been exposed to cats. I am a loyal companion to my people. My dream home: A fenced yard (I love my space), lots of walks (I love my walkies), and a human who appreciates a smart, loyal, slightly sassy best friend. Favorite things: Ear scratches, back rubs, snacks I catch mid-air, and being told I’m a good girl (because I am). If you’re looking for a dog who will choose you, stick by your side, make you laugh, and keep life interesting… I’m already halfway home. —Bella 🐾
