Story
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 Delilah — A Loving, Lively Girl Ready for Her Forever Adventure 🐾🌟 Delilah is a Shepherd/Cattledog mix (best guess), born 10/01/2021, weighing in at a healthy 55 lbs, and bursting with personality, affection, and zest for life. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you wholeheartedly and keep you smiling, Delilah might just be your girl. She is sweet, affectionate, and eager to please, soaking up attention like sunshine. Belly rubs? Yes please. Cuddles? Absolutely. A game of fetch or a splash in the water? Even better! 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. With the right home, she’s going to absolutely shine. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Delilah the loving home she’s been waiting for. 🐾💛

I like to spend my days busying myself with toys and doggie chewies.  I like to stay active too by running and playing in the yard.  However, I usually fit a few naps into my day as well.  After all, who doesn't like a nap?  I'm learning what potty pads are and that I really should go outside to do my dirty business but it takes time to establish those habits.  I love to cuddle with my humans too. I'm searching for a fabulous forever home to share my life and love with! Do you want a great friend to join your family?  Well, adopt me and let's start making lasting memories together!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $600 plus taxSummit is an 18-week-old German Shepherd mix who believes the best place to be is right next to you. Sweet, cuddly, and people-focused, this little guy lives up to his name—he loves to climb, and if he’s scaling furniture or obstacles, it’s usually just his creative way of getting closer to his person. Summit is a smart cookie and learns quickly. He knows some basic commands and is food  motivated, which makes training a fun activity. He is learning that his crate is a safe space and settles in nicely after a short adjustment. He may briefly sing you the song of his people (think “tiny hyena”), but once he’s comfortable, he does just fine. He is doing great with house training! He will likely be smaller than your average German Shepherd, making him the perfect size for adventures without the giant-dog footprint. When it comes to friends, Summit is a social butterfly. He loves other dogs, is especially respectful of older pups. He adores humans of all ages—including kids. He’s cat-curious but a[[ears to want to play. He hasn’t lived with feline friends that we know of, but would likely do fine. Summit somehow skipped the classic puppy phase of biting hands and ankles, proving he’s a pretty polite little gentleman. Summit is an agile, affectionate, and joyful puppy who’s ready to grow up alongside a family that will love him as much as he loves them. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with brains, heart, and a touch of playful mischief, Summit may be your perfect match Come meet me and my friends at the 2026 Twin Cities Auto Show!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $600 plus taxHe may be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, he blossoms into a total love bug. He has no aggression toward people or other animals and is happiest when he has a trusted person to stick close to—he’s a true snuggle bug who finds comfort in having a safe place (and person) to run to when he’s unsure. He seems to prefer women, but is not aggressive toward men, just a bit timid at first. He does well with other dogs (currently living with one) and would thrive in a home with a confident older dog he can learn from. This playful, active puppy will need ongoing training, structure, and positive reinforcement to help him succeed. He’s slightly food motivated and eager to learn! He’s currently working on potty training and crate training, but he does whine and cry for about 15 min in the crate before settling down, unless its bedtime then he will settle down right away. He's already learning commands like sit, stay, off, leave it, and come. He is good on a leash and will stick by you. He does stairs just fine. He’s a jumper! He can clear a standard baby gate or dog pen, so a secure setup is a must. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, this affectionate pup will make a devoted and loving companion for the right family. Come meet me and my friends at the 2026 Twin Cities Auto Show!
