Meet Paco – Your Loyal Shadow and Playful Pup Paco is a handsome brown and white hound mix with a heart as big as his floppy ears. This affectionate boy is thriving in his foster home and is now ready to find a forever family of his very own — ideally one with a fenced yard, a playful dog friend, and humans who will include him in their daily life. He really loves children and will happily play with them for hours. He bonds deeply and loves nothing more than being close to his people. Paco is house-trained, crate trained, great on a leash, and eager to please. He loves to romp and wrestle with other dogs and is surprisingly respectful around chickens — a true southern gentleman. He has been around cats and does well with them. After a fun day, Paco prefers to sleep snuggled up with his foster mom, but he also does great overnight in a crate when needed. Being outdoors is Paco’s happy place. He enjoys exploring, sunbathing, and relaxing in the grass, and he’s a fan of splashing in the water to cool off on warm days. Car rides are becoming more comfortable for him, and with continued positive experiences, he’ll soon be a confident travel buddy. He will need antinausea medication to travel, however. Paco is the perfect match for someone seeking a loyal, cuddly, dog-friendly companion with a sweet spirit and a playful heart. If you’re ready for a devoted shadow who will follow you from the garden to the couch, look no further — Paco is ready to love you for life. Paco is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX and is not available for transport out of state. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Meet Bruce, a 2-year-old Foxhound mix who is truly as handsome as he is lovable. He came to us from our friends at Northampton Animal Control with glowing reviews for his charming personality, and he has lived up to every one of them. Bruce greets each day—and every dog and person he meets—with a big, happy tail wag and a bright, joyful spirit. His foster mom says he is a total sweetie who is doing well with her kids, cats, and other dog. She says he's a "great dog! He loves to have soft toys in his mouth and carries them around...he loves to be cuddled on your lap on the couch." Bruce loves to play fetch, enjoys a good snuggle, and has a wonderfully sweet and gentle nature. He’s quiet, smart, and an all-around easy companion who seems to fit in wherever he goes. His affectionate personality and friendly demeanor make him a joy to spend time with. Bruce does have significant skin allergies that will require lifelong treatment and preventative care to keep him comfortable and healthy, so a vet reference is required for his adoption. If you’re ready to provide ongoing medical care and are looking for a loyal, loving best friend, Bruce may be your perfect match. Ready to Adopt?

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 Gypsy — Short Legs, Big Heart, Still Waiting 💛🐾 Gypsy has been waiting… and waiting… and waiting. And honestly? She’s waited far too long for a girl this special. At 2 years old and 28 pounds, Gypsy is a delightful blend of Cattle Dog smarts and Basset Hound charm — think low-rider body, big-dog energy, and a personality that could light up a room. She’s basically the off-road model of a best friend: compact, sturdy, and always ready for an adventure. Gypsy LOVES her walks and is getting better and better on leash every day. She’s happiest when she’s outside, exploring the yard, supervising chores, or keeping an eye out for squirrels (her self-appointed job, and she takes it very seriously). When playtime winds down, she’s just as content following her favorite human around like a loyal little shadow. She’s playful, affectionate, and full of goofy charm. Toys are fun. Shoelaces are very intriguing. And her signature low-rider zoomies? Absolutely legendary. 🐾 Gypsy’s Highlights: ✅ 2 years old, 28 lbs ✅ Dog-friendly ✅ House & crate trained ✅ Loves walks and outdoor time ✅ Sweet, silly, and full of personality ✅ Equal parts sass, snuggles, and sunshine While Gypsy does great with other dogs, cats are an unknown — mostly because Gypsy believes squirrels are public enemy #1 — so she may prefer a home without feline roommates. What Gypsy really wants, though, isn’t much. She wants a family who will love her quirks, laugh at her goofy legs, and finally give her the forever home she’s been patiently waiting for. She’s ready to be someone’s hiking buddy, couch companion, and daily dose of happiness. 💛 Gypsy has so much love to give — she just needs someone to give her a chance. Short legs. Big heart. Endless loyalty. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Gypsy finally stop waiting and start living the life she deserves. 🐾💛

Meet Nelson 💙 a barely-one-year-old, 80-ish-pound giant baby who missed the memo that he is not, in fact, lap-sized. Nelson is what happens when a puppy grows way faster than his brain. He truly, genuinely believes he was born to live in your lap, be spooned like a teddy bear, and receive constant affection at all times. Sit down for even half a second? Boom! Nelson is climbing into your space, curling up, and sighing dramatically like, “Ah yes, this is where I belong.” His foster proudly reports that she spoons him, and honestly… that tracks. See what Nelson’s all about in his video! https://youtu.be/zsZ2Yipfz4U?si=813teQsG80cocPpL We think Nelson may be a Rottweiler/Bloodhound mix, mostly because: • he has SO much extra skin and rolls • his paws are absolutely massive • he’s going to be a big boy • and he has that gentle, droopy, soft-faced charm He’s a big, goofy, derby puppy with a calm soul. While he loves to play, tug, chase toys, and bounce around like a goober, he is also extremely mellow for his age. Nelson is very much a “play a little, nap a LOT” kind of guy. When he runs, he jiggles. All of him. It’s incredible. Truly a sight to behold. With dogs, Nelson is a dream. He’s friendly, submissive, polite, and just wants everyone to know he means absolutely no harm. He loves other dogs, plays well, accepts corrections, and happily shares toys with his foster sister. Tug toys? YES. Balls? YES. Sharing nicely? Also yes. He’d love another playful dog friend but would also be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as a solo pup. Nelson has been around his foster’s 7- and 13-year-old grandkids and does AMAZING. He is gentle, sweet, tolerant, and affectionate, truly the definition of kid-friendly. Despite his size, he’s careful with his body and just wants to love everyone. Nelson did so well in his cat test. He was very curious about the cat (because, honestly, everything is interesting when you’re a big goofy puppy), but he stayed gentle and respectful. He didn’t show aggression and handled himself calmly, though he was definitely invested in keeping tabs on where the cat went. Because of his size and curiosity, we’d recommend slow introductions and ideally a confident, dog-savvy cat — an overnight test would be a great way to make sure everyone feels comfortable. With proper management and time to adjust, Nelson has the potential to coexist well with feline friends. He’s also: 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Walks easily on leash 🐾 Knows how to sit 🐾 Calm inside 🐾 Affectionate to his core He could absolutely live in an apartment (yes, really) thanks to his laid-back, couch-potato tendencies, as long as the apartment is cool with big, lovable boys. That said, he’d also adore a yard where he can sniff, wander, and do a few jiggly laps before coming back inside to nap dramatically. Nelson is the kind of dog who makes people laugh without trying. He’s sweet, squishy, silly, gentle, and full of love. If you’re looking for a giant puppy who thinks he’s tiny, wants to cuddle 24/7, and will happily become your shadow, Nelson is ready to flop into your life, probably directly onto your lap 💙 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
