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 found at haydudeequine.org 🌋🐾 Meet Pacaya — Adventure Enthusiast, Water Lover & Certified Good Girl 🐾🌋 Hi! I’m Pacaya, an athletic, happy, and downright charismatic girl with a heart full of joy and paws made for exploring. I’m friendly, engaging and I has got a gorgeous coat that goes from a warm tan to a rich red when the sun hits me just right. I'm always ready for the next adventure — especially if it involves hiking, swimming and exploring(yes, I take the scenic route whenever possible). If you love the outdoors, we’re already best friends. Trails? I’m in. Lakes? I’m already splashing. Hills? I’ll meet you at the top, tail wagging proudly. I thrive with an active person or family who enjoys getting out and doing things — I make an excellent hiking buddy, jogging partner, or “let’s-see-what’s-over-there” companion. But don’t let my athletic side fool you — once the adventure is done, I’m all about the wind-down life. Belly rubs, ear scratches, and lounging with my people are absolute perfection. I’m not wild or frantic — just a well-balanced girl who knows when to go full throttle and when to relax like a pro. 🐾 Pacaya at a Glance: ✔️ ~2 years old, ~40 lbs of happy athletic energy ✔️ Friendly, confident, and full of personality ✔️ Loves hiking, swimming, and climbing ✔️ Great with other dogs ✔️ House trained and well-mannered ✔️ Smart, attentive, and eager to engage with her people A quick note from management: while I adore dogs and humans, cats and chickens are not on my guest list. (Nothing personal — just best to admire them from afar.) I bring joy into every space I enter, communicate with my bright eyes and expressive personality, and truly enjoy being part of a family. I pay attention, listen well, and love being involved in whatever my humans are doing — especially if it ends with a nap under the fan. If you’re searching for an active, loving, adventurous companion who’s equal parts fun and affectionate, I might just be your perfect match. 🌟 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Pacaya lead you into your next great adventure! 🐾💛

CUTE PUPPY ALERT! Are you ready for some silly fun in your life? SPUD and TATER are here to help. They are 11 week old puppies, currently just under 7 pounds. Spud and Tater came from a backyard breeder who was breeding Feists, a small southern dog breed. We aren't sure what the actual breed is on these pups, we think they look like Jack Russel Terrier mixes. Spud and Tater are full of puppy shenanigans and are best suited to homes with another playful dog. We estimate they will grow to be 20-25 pounds when fully grown. If you've been following us over the last month, you may recall ELO, WIGGLES and SHORTY. They came from the same owner. None of the dogs on the property were larger than 25 pounds. If you would like to meet Spud or Tater, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. Spud and Tater will go to their furever homes on a trial basis. Their adoptions will be finalized when all of the vetting covered by their adoption fee is completed. Spud and Tater need to go to homes in the greater Cincinnati in order to complete their vetting. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.

Story
Momma Jelly Belly (knows the name Millie) has officially raised her last litter, and is now single and ready to mingle! She is a young feist mix, very petite at only 32 lbs, and has been learning a lot about manners now that she's done with her mothering responsibilities. - house and crate trained - great with other dogs, loves to play and wrestle - curious about cats but doesn't hurt or chase them - fairly good on a leash, does like to take walks - higher energy, does keep herself busy with bones and toys - not a cuddler, but is a kisser and does like to be near her humans - working on not jumping on people and her commands like 'sit' - probably too energetic for small children Applications can be filled out in advance at adoptastray.com !

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rose was saved from the streets of Laredo.  She was being fostered by a good Samaritan who tried to socialize her, but had trouble getting her out of the closet.  She has acclimated really well to our program, loves being outside during the day with the other dogs.  Comes in at night and goes to her kennel to sleep.  She appears to be housebroken. She wants to be people friendly, but she had to warm up to you first.  I suspect she has been traumatized while she was on the streets.  The good sam said the neighbors were chasing her away and throwing rocks at her.  She is starting to realize not all humans are mean.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 6, 2025, 2:44 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Robin Robin is a 2-year-old Chihuahua with a brave heart and a whole lot of love to give. This sweet girl was found on the streets while pregnant and went on to be a devoted mama to five puppies. Now that her babies are on their way to their own futures, it’s finally Robin’s turn to be someone’s cherished companion. Robin is smart, feisty, and a true “velcro dog” — she bonds deeply with her person and wants nothing more than to be by your side (or curled up in your lap). She does fine with other dogs, but she would truly thrive as an only dog where she can soak up all the love and attention she’s been waiting for. She can be wary of men at first, but with patience, kindness, and a steady supply of treats, she becomes more comfortable and tolerant. Once she trusts you, her loyalty is unwavering. If you’re looking for a devoted lap dog who will adore you endlessly, Robin may be your perfect match. Adoption fee: $300 Transport available to the Midwest and East Coast for $250 Apply to adopt Robin at www.adoggie4you.org Robin has already given so much — now she’s ready to give her heart to her forever person.
