Story
Autumn is a very lovable and quirky 7yro German shepherd. Very friendly and good with kids, cats and other dogs. We adopted Autumn 6 months ago from a family who traveled a lot. We don’t travel but we work a lot. She has separation anxiety and needs someone who works from home or home a lot more than we are. We would love to keep her but feel it is not fair to her that she doesn’t get the attention she needs due to us having blue collar jobs with long hours. We don’t want any money, just someone who is going to have more time for her than we do. She’s crate trained, loves her chew toys, chillin right next to you and very smart. We don’t know much about her past but we think she would be perfect for any family that has kids 8 or older due to her size as she doesn’t know her own weight.

How is she still not adopted! Delilah is one of the sweetest and most loyal dogs here at the rescue. She’s been here way too long. She’s raised her last litter over 2 years ago and now she needs you to give her the love she’s patiently been waiting for. Pleae open your heart and home to her 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 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. 🐾💛
