Story
Huckleberry Finn - or Finn as we call him is an adorable low rider looking for his next adventure with you! Our best guess is that he is a 2 year old Jack Russel Terrier / Basset Hound mix. He is approximately 30 pounds and full of LOVE!!  Finn came to SAAP ready to find his furever home but sadly we discovered that he was heartworm positive. So SAAP stepped in to get him the help and healing that he needed. Fin is ready to put all of that behind him and set out on a mission to find his family!  Finn has been good with all the dogs in his foster home. He ignored the resident cat. His favorite place is with his humans! He loves doing rolly polly’s for belly rubs! We are working on potty training. He had been on steroids since he arrived at SAAP for treatment (which heightens the need to drink and urinate) and so we are now working to reinforce the need to potty outside. If you are looking to add to your family, look no further because this little boy is the absolute best! Apply today to meet this cutie patootie!! May 6, 2025, 12:43 pm

Pickles, a 1–2-year-old terrier mix weighing in at a perfect 12 pounds, may be small, but this boy has more personality than a whole jar of his namesake. Found on the streets of San Antonio, he’s traded pavement for playtime and is now ready to relish life with a family of his very own. Pickles is playful, gentle, and highly intelligent — the kind of dog who picks up on routines, learns quickly, and always tries to figure out what his humans want from him. (Treats. You want to give him treats. That’s the correct answer.) This boy LOVES his toys: 🎾 A good game of fetch? Yes sir. 💪 Tug o’ war? Absolutely. 🎉 Wubba toys? His soulmate. But after playtime, Pickles is totally down for a solid cuddle—and he gives the warmest, floppiest snuggles known to mankind. A family who enjoys playing and relaxing will suit him perfectly. He’s a big fan of: ✔️ Belly rubs ✔️ Butt scratches ✔️ Gentle ear massages ✔️ Being told he’s a very good boy (because he absolutely is) He’s great with other dogs and critters, though he does enjoy a joyfully enthusiastic cat chase here and there—nothing serious, just a flirtatious little “Hey cat friend, run so I can follow you!” kind of vibe. And for the active folks? Pickles LOVES a good long jog. He’s the perfect mix of athletic and cuddly, with a side of comedic charm. Pickles is ready for a family who will laugh with him, love him, teach him, and let him finally feel like he truly belongs. He’s so ready to make your life brighter, funnier, and way more entertaining. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Pickles is ready to add some crunch, charm, and cuddles to your home!

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 Olive — The 7-Pound Superstar With a Heart Bigger Than Texas! 💚✨ Move over, big dogs — Olive has entered the chat, and she’s here to prove that size is deeply overrated. At around 1–2 years old and a perfectly pocket-sized 7 pounds, this terrier mix is ready to take her rightful place as your resident tiny adventurer, blanket burrower, and professional bringer of joy. Found on the streets of San Antonio, Olive has mastered the art of being cautiously curious — she’ll check out new things, but she’s polite about it. Think: “Oh hi, I’m interested, but also… are you going to murder me?” Once she realizes you’re safe, she’s playful, friendly, and absolutely precious. She’ll thrive in a calm home or a small family with older children — younger kiddos move a little too unpredictably for her delicate nerves. (Relatable, honestly.) But let’s talk about her hobbies, because Olive is basically a tiny connoisseur of the good life: ✨ Crinkle toys: 10/10, very satisfying ✨ Soft blankets: the fluffier the better ✨ Butt scratches & gentle ear rubs: yes, please, forever ✨ Being part of the pack: lap dog energy = strong ✨ Fast walks & slow jogs: her favorite cardio routine Despite her petite frame, Olive is down for almost any adventure — neighborhood strolls, mild nature trails, camping, road trips, you name it. She’s good with cats, good with other dogs, and good at making you say “How does something this small have THIS much personality?” She’s the perfect combination of brave and snuggly, quirky and sweet, tiny and mighty. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in heart, charm, and comedic timing. If you’re looking for a little dog with a big spirit and an even bigger desire to be your best friend, Olive is ready to shine her way straight into your life (and probably onto your lap). 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — this pocket-sized princess is ready for her happily-ever-after!

Story
LORELAI GILMORE is a stunning scruffy young dog looking for a home. She is a timid girl, our best guess is a Jack Russell Terrier-type mix, about 11 months old and fully grown at 24 pounds. She's a beautiful girl who literally wears her heart on her hip. Lorelai loves her doggie friends. She's good with older, dog-savvy kids and kitties. She prefers women over men. Lorelai needs a home with a dog-experienced adopter who will take the time needed to earn her trust. She must have a confident, playful dog sibling and is best suited to a home with a physically-fenced yard. She's housebroken, crate trained and walks well on a leash.   Lorelai and her sister Rory were found dumped in the woods earlier this year. Both girls were adopted a few months ago but Lorelai Gilmore was recently returned due to a change in family circumstances. Lorelai prefers women and is best suited to a quiet home where there won't be lots of strangers coming and going. If you'd like to meet Lorelai, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. All our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. 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.
