Story
We found this sweet heeler abandoned on a county road in February, severely underweight. He was meant to be a temporary rescue, but we hoped we could keep him. Unfortunately, we’ve realized we can’t provide the environment he needs long-term. He is incredibly smart and learned sit, stay, place, down, and shake within a week. He’s eager to learn, loves having a job, and would thrive on acreage or with an active owner familiar with working breeds. We and our vet suspect he has a form of polydipsia. He drinks excessive amounts of water, which causes very frequent urination. Despite consistent potty training, he often urinates without warning and may never be a reliable indoor dog. This is a heartbreaking decision, but we want to find him a home that better fits his needs and allows him to succeed.

Story
Our son found Lucy, we think a full pit, on a hot Texas street last summer in July. He took her in but his wife would not let him keep her. He asked if we would take her, and we did. We had three other dogs at the time. We fell in love with Lucy immediately. She is the sweetest, and she just wants to play, cuddle, and eat.Since May, one of our dogs, a Corgi, has become increasingly aggressive towards Lucy. The corgi has attacked Lucy, and now we are afraid that if it happens again, and if Lucy tries to defend herself, she could harm the corgi.Lucy has been an indoor, spoiled dog. We would love to see her go to a home where she would continue to stay inside and get lots of love, attention, and treats. We think she’s about two years old, so she is still very active and playful. We don’t know what a reasonable rehoming fee would be be, but we will pay to make sure she goes to a loving home.Lucy is house trained.

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 🐾🥧 Well hello y'all — I’m Moon Pie! 🥧🐾 (2 Years • 70 lbs • Male • Big Goof Energy Included) Yep, Moon Pie — like the sweet treat and like Sheldon’s Meemaw calls him on The Big Bang Theory. Because when you’re this lovable, wiggly, and impossible not to adore, you deserve a name that sounds like a hug. And let me tell you… I am a hug in dog form. I’m a big, lanky, floppy, happy boy with a giant heart and zero shame about belly rubs. I will dramatically roll over, squirm, wiggle, and grin while you rub my belly like it’s my full-time job (spoiler: it is). My foster dad calls me a total goof — and honestly, I take that as a compliment. I’m fully house trained (very proud of this accomplishment) and I’m doggie-door certified. If the door is ever locked, I politely wait like the gentleman I am instead of panicking or causing chaos. On walks, I usually stroll along nicely on a loose leash… unless a squirrel appears, or a potential new friend crosses my path, in which case I briefly but only briefly, forget my professionalism 😅 🐾 Moon Pie’s Fun Facts & Credentials: ✔️ House trained & crate trained (I relax quietly when you leave) ✔️ Uses the dog door like a pro ✔️ Walks well on leash — excitement moments included ✔️ Quiet at home — not much of a barker ✔️ Loves toys and can entertain himself like a one-dog circus ✔️ Knows “sit” and “stay” and takes treats gently ✔️ Super smart, eager to learn, and very trainable I’ve lived with a senior dog and we got along great — though I’ll admit, sometimes I forget not everyone wants to play as much as I do. I’d love a dog buddy who enjoys some playtime or a human who’s happy to help me keep polishing my manners. I really want to be the best boy. Oh — and if you’re into running or biking? Congratulations, you’ve just found your new workout partner. I love keeping pace and cruising alongside you like it’s no big deal. At the end of the day, I’m sweet, affectionate, goofy, active, and full of potential. I’m the kind of dog who brings laughter to your yard, calm to your home, and loyalty to your heart. If you’re looking for a loving, slightly ridiculous, incredibly charming companion with sweetness galore and is Meemaw-level approval… I think we might be a perfect match. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and bring home Moon Pie — the snack-sized name with the full-sized heart. 🖤🤍🥧🐾
