Sadie has medium energy. She likes being outside, but wants her person to be outside with her. Sadie also enjoys walks, and does walk well with a harness. House and crate trained. She prefers being crated at night near her people. If you would allow her to sleep with you even better. Sadie rides quietly in the car. Sadie does have some stranger danger, and is leery around new people at first. She does best when visitors just ignore her and let her come to them on her terms. She does bark at new people and sounds, so may not do well in a apartment setting Sadie is a really sweet dog but needs someone who will be patient with her and give her time to trust her new family. Once Sadie is comfortable with you, she will be your shadow. She is not much of a snugglier, but does like to be near you. Sadie really likes chicken as a treat, which can be used to build trust. With time and treats Sadie will be the perfect companion! If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you.

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 Cindy Lou — Your Future Walking, Wagging Bundle of Joy ✨🎀 At just 10 months old, Cindy Lou is already proving she’s less “puppy” and more full-blown heart thief. With her beautiful coat, bright eyes, and joyful puppy energy, she’s the kind of dog who makes strangers smile and friends ask, “Okay but where did you find her?” Cindy Lou is sweet, playful, affectionate, and delightfully goofy — the total package. She adores her people (big and small), though she’s still learning how to contain her enthusiasm when giving love, so older kiddos might be her perfect match. Her affection comes in enthusiastic tail wags, happy hops, and the occasional “oops, I love you too much” moment. She’s great with other dogs and would love a canine sidekick for zoomie sessions and shared mischief. Cats? She’s young, adaptable, and open to negotiations — terms TBD. Outdoorsy? Even a little bit? Cindy Lou is ready. She’s got that “where are we going next?” energy wrapped in puppy curiosity and confidence. Ranch walks? Check. Trails? Absolutely. Puddle splashing like it’s a competitive sport? Gold medal performance. Off leash, she checks in like a pro — part loyal companion, part personal accountability partner. After spending far too much of her young life in rescue, Cindy Lou is more than ready for the good stuff: a home, a couch, a routine, a snack schedule, and people who adore her for the joyful, living mood booster she is. 🌟 Cindy Lou’s Highlights: • 10 months old (DOB 2/24/25) * 60lbs • Beautiful girl with a personality just as bright • Great with people & other dogs • Smart, social, and affectionate (Velcro level: elite) • Adventure buddy by day, champion snuggler by night If you’re looking for a dog who will fill your days with laughter, love, and a whole lot of happy chaos, Cindy Lou is ready to lean in and prance right into your heart. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Cindy Lou is ready to start her forever story with you. 🐾💖

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 Daisy — Sunshine in Fur Form, Ready to Bloom in a Home 🐾🌼 Daisy is a 1-year-old, ~40-pound sweetheart who has spent her entire puppyhood waiting for something most dogs never have to wait for — a family to call her own. Born into an unwanted litter, Daisy and her siblings grew up without the comfort of couches, bedtime snuggles, or humans who made them feel chosen. But despite it all, Daisy’s heart stayed soft, hopeful, and full of love. Daisy is gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully friendly, with a playful side that comes out once she feels safe. She does great with other dogs and kids, and has a calm, loving presence that makes you want to sit down beside her and stay awhile. She’s the kind of dog who leans in close, quietly soaking up affection like she’s making up for lost time. Her mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad? Well… dad was apparently a traveling salespup, charming his way through town and leaving us with a mystery — possibly shepherd, possibly heartthrob, definitely good looks. Whatever the mix, Daisy inherited the best parts: brains, athleticism, and a deep desire to be close to her people. Daisy would love an active but loving home — one that enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures, but also understands the magic of slowing down and just being together. She’s ready to learn, eager to please, and so excited to finally experience what it means to be part of a family. 🐕 Daisy’s Darling Details: ✅ 1 year old, ~40 lbs ✅ Sweet, gentle, and affectionate ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Playful with a calm, loving heart ✅ Smart and ready to learn ✅ Has waited patiently for her chance at a home Daisy is ready to bloom into the best version of herself — all she needs is someone willing to give her the love she’s been missing. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and help Daisy finally plant her paws where she belongs: right in your heart and home. 🌼🐾

This 10-year-old Shepherd mix may be a “golden oldie,” but don’t let her age fool you. She’s still full of zest, zoomies, and plenty of love to share. At 45 lbs, Nilla is the perfect fun-size snack. She adores men, women, and other dogs, and her playful, gentle nature makes her a dream companion. She’s food-motivated (who isn’t when cookies are involved?) but never guards her goodies. Instead, she’s all about sharing her big heart and happily coming when called. ✨ Nilla’s recipe for the perfect home includes: — A comfy couch and a human who appreciates belly rubs and head scratches — Doggie friends to run and play with (she’s fantastic with canine buddies!) --- Would probably do fine with cats (she's pretty much ignores the outside cats) — Gentle, older kids who understand that even sweet cookies need a little care — Maybe a backyard where she can show off her zoomies before napping in the sun She’s housetrained, kennel trained, and not too interested in toys—her joy comes from people, play, and pets. With her easygoing nature and good manners, Nilla would make a pawfect first-time pet parent pup. She’s the comfort food of dogs: always reliable, always sweet, and guaranteed to brighten your day. If you’re craving a best friend who’s equal parts sugar, spice, and everything nice, Nilla is ready to be your forever snack pack companion. 🐾❤️ 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and bring home this sweet wafer of a dog!

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 Mercy — A Soft Soul with So Much Love to Give 🐾🤍 Mercy is a 1-year-old, ~40-pound sweetheart who has spent her entire puppyhood waiting for something simple and life-changing — a family. Born into an unwanted litter, Mercy and her siblings grew up without the warmth of a home, yet she somehow emerged with a heart full of kindness and a spirit that never gave up hope. Mercy is gentle, affectionate, and quietly loving, the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention but melts into you when she gets it. She’s wonderful with other dogs and kids, and has a calm, comforting presence that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay. She’s the pup who will sit close, rest her head on your knee, and remind you how powerful unconditional love can be. Her mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad remains a mystery — possibly a shepherd mix, possibly a charming wanderer who left behind good looks and great genes. Mercy inherited intelligence, loyalty, and that special “old soul” energy that makes her so easy to fall in love with. Mercy would thrive in an active yet nurturing home — one that enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures, but also values quiet moments and connection. She’s eager to learn, ready to bond, and more than prepared to make up for lost time as someone’s beloved fur-baby. 🐕 Mercy’s Heart Notes: ✅ 1 year old, ~40 lbs ✅ Gentle, affectionate, and sweet-natured ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Calm, loving, and emotionally intuitive ✅ Smart and ready to learn ✅ Has waited patiently for her forever Mercy doesn’t ask for much — just kindness, consistency, and a place to finally belong. In return, she’ll give you a lifetime of devotion and love. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Mercy the home her heart has been waiting for. 🤍🐾
