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 Earl Gray — aka “Eggy,” the Tiny Cup of Puppy Energy 🐾☕ Male • ~3–4 Months Old • Heeler Mix • Professional Explorer in Training Introducing Earl Gray, affectionately known as Eggy — 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. And trust us… Eggy is delivering. This floppy, curious little guy is the perfect mix of playful, affectionate, and just a little bit goofy. The world is brand new to him, and he is determined to check out every single corner of it. Stick on the ground? Investigation required. Toy on the floor? Immediate wrestling match. Another dog nearby? Time for professional-level playtime. Eggy absolutely loves other dogs and has a very sweet, gentle personality around them. He’s more of the polite “hey, wanna play?” type than the bossy type, which makes him an awesome future buddy for another pup. If there’s a dog around willing to wrestle, chase, or participate in a backyard zoomie session, Eggy is happily clocking in for duty. And because he’s part Heeler, there’s a smart little brain working overtime in that adorable head of his. The good news? Eggy is very food motivated, which means training is basically a fun game to him. Bring snacks and he’s ready to learn the world. He’s already doing great with crate training and potty training, and his crate has become his cozy little “Eggy headquarters” where he can relax and recharge after a long day of puppy adventures. Now let’s talk about the most important part of puppy life: shenanigans. Life with Eggy will likely include: • Zoomies that appear out of nowhere • Dramatic toy battles • Random puppy flops when he’s suddenly tired • Curious investigations of absolutely everything • And a whole lot of happy tail wags Despite his rough start, Eggy has a brave and loving little heart that just needs a family to keep helping him grow and gain confidence. With patience, kindness, and a little guidance, he’s going to blossom into an incredibly loyal, fun-loving companion. If you’re looking for a pup who will bring laughter, energy, adventure, and a whole lot of love into your life, Eggy might just be your perfect match. Because every good day really does start with a cup of Earl Gray. ☕ 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Eggy bring the fun, the zoomies, and the puppy love home. 🐶💛

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 🐾🥧 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. 🖤🤍🥧🐾

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 Amira — Still Waiting for Her Once-in-a-Lifetime Person 🐾✨ Female • Husky • ~2 Years • ~45 lbs Amira has been patient. - Patient while raising her babies. - Patient while watching other dogs find their homes. - Patient while waiting for her turn — her person, her family, her moment to finally be someone’s everything. Now it’s her time, her time to just breathe, her time to shine, her time to be the center of your universe. At around 2 years old and 45 pounds, Amira is the perfect mix of sweetness and spirit. She carries herself with quiet confidence, soft eyes, and that unmistakable Husky sparkle that says, “Life is an adventure… and I’d really like to share it with you.” She’s affectionate, friendly, and wonderfully balanced. She enjoys playtime and outdoor activity, but she also appreciates calm connection — the kind where she can simply sit beside you and feel safe, chosen, and home. Amira is great with kids and other dogs, bringing a steady, reassuring presence wherever she goes. Cats are still unknown, but with thoughtful introductions, she may do just fine. Now, because she is a Husky, let’s sprinkle in just a dash of reality: this girl is athletic and clever. Fences are more like “suggestions” in her world. She’ll thrive in a home committed to leash walks, secure outings, and including her in adventures rather than leaving her to entertain herself. She doesn’t want to run away — she wants to run with you. And truly, that’s what she wants most — to be with her person. After spending her early adulthood caring for others, she’s ready to be cared for. Ready for long walks, silly moments, cozy evenings, and the simple joy of belonging. She deserves a home where she’s not just a dog in the yard — but a cherished companion in the heart of the family. Amira isn’t loud about her wishes. She doesn’t demand attention. She just waits, hopeful, for someone to see her and say, “That’s my girl.” If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, adventure-ready best friend who will meet you at every sunrise and settle beside you at every sunset, Amira is ready. She’s been patient long enough. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give this sweet girl the forever she’s been quietly dreaming of. 💙🐾

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. 🐾💖

Delilah thrives on interaction and loves being part of the action. Delilah does great with other dogs and enjoys their company, though she prefers to dine solo — a girl likes her personal space at mealtime, after all. No issues with people around her food or toys, just a polite request for her own bowl. She’s still polishing up her manners (sometimes those paws get a little excited!), but she’s learning quickly and wants to do right by her people. Because of her energy level and curiosity, Delilah would do best in a home without cats and with a secure, tall fence. She’s an explorer at heart and would love an active family who enjoys outdoor time, play sessions, and giving her the mental and physical stimulation she thrives on. 🐾 Delilah’s Highlights: ✅ Born 10/01/2021 ✅ 55 lbs of love and personality ✅ Sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented ✅ Great with other dogs ✅ Loves water, fetch, and belly rubs ✅ Active and playful ✅ Eats separately from other dogs ✅ Needs a secure yard & no cats Delilah is the kind of dog who will make you laugh, keep you moving, and remind you every day how special the bond between a dog and their person can be.
