Story
Meet (Ja’Marr) Chase! This 10 month old is looking for his forever home. We heard he is part Jack Russell - maybe part dachshund- definitely part snuggle bug.  New owner must be: Agile - Because I am a Velcro dog, so I will always be under your feet! Affectionate- Because I want to be in your lap and receiving pets.  Active, or have another dog for me to play with! I love to play, but I’m also happy to hang on the couch for a movie marathon! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   March 9, 2026, 9:08 pm

Story
Oaken deserves so much more than life in a shelter at the age of 13. This gentle senior simply dreams of a loving family to cherish him during his golden years. He shouldn’t have to endure the stress of a noisy concrete kennel. Oaken would thrive in any home, as he is wonderful with other dogs and cats. He prefers children to be teenagers or older. Let’s give him the warmth and love he desperately needs!

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 Hank — Brains, Bounce, and a Whole Lotta Heart 🐾🎯 Male • 1 Year Old • 23 lbs • Certified Good Boy (with honors) If you’ve ever dreamed of a dog who is equal parts athlete, genius, and total sweetheart, Hank is here to make that dream a reality. At just 1 year old and 23 pounds, Hank is the perfect compact package of energy, intelligence, and devotion. He’s the kind of pup who doesn’t just notice his person — he studies you like you’re the most important thing in the world (because to him, you are). This boy has focus for days. Call his name? He’s locked in. Have a treat? Oh, he’s really locked in. Say “let’s do something fun”? He’s already three steps ahead of you and ready to go. Hank would absolutely shine in: • Agility (future superstar alert 🚨) • Obedience training • Trick learning (he’s the overachiever type) • Or honestly… just being your everyday “let’s do life together” partner He’s extremely intelligent and very treat motivated, which makes training not only easy, but actually fun. Hank is the kind of dog who enjoys having a job — even if that job is just being the best companion you’ve ever had. And while he’s got the brains and athleticism, he’s also got the heart to match. Hank is wonderful with: • People (big fan) • Other dogs (instant friendships) • Cats (yes, even them!) He’s social, friendly, and carries that happy, easygoing vibe that makes him a joy to be around. His daily routine would ideally include: • Exercise to burn off that athletic energy • Mental stimulation (puzzle toys, training, learning new things) • Quality time with his favorite human (his favorite part) And after all that? He’s more than happy to settle in and enjoy some well-earned downtime — preferably somewhere near you. Hank isn’t just a dog — he’s that once-in-a-lifetime kind of companion who will learn with you, grow with you, and love you with his whole heart. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Hank show you just how amazing life can be with the right partner by your side. 🐾💛

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 Astrid — CEO of Puppy Shenanigans & Professional Explorer 🐾🌟 Female • 3 Months Old • Future Perfect Medium Size If you’ve been looking for a happy, curious, tail-wagging bundle of puppy joy, allow us to introduce Astrid — a 3-month-old adventurer who wakes up every day convinced the world was created specifically for fun, snacks, and exploring absolutely everything. Astrid is a typical loving-life puppy, which means her daily schedule looks something like this: • Wake up • Zoom around like she just drank three espressos • Investigate mysterious leaves • Wrestle with dog friends • Practice being adorable • Take a dramatic nap • Repeat She’s very social, great with other dogs, and absolutely loves having playmates. If there’s another dog around willing to run, wrestle, or engage in competitive zoomies, Astrid is 100% on board. She also loves being outside exploring the big ole world — sniffing trails, investigating sticks, chasing leaves, and generally making sure no blade of grass goes unexamined. Hiking buddy in training? Definitely. Astrid loves people too, but it’s only fair to give you the official puppy disclaimer: she still comes equipped with those sharp little puppy nails and tiny shark teeth. Not malicious — just enthusiastic. The good news is she’ll grow out of that stage with a little guidance and training. Cats are currently unknown, but with her young age and proper introductions, she should adapt just fine. Astrid would be happiest with a family that enjoys being active and including their dog in the fun — walks, hiking, camping trips, backyard adventures, neighborhood strolls, and of course couch cuddles once the day’s exploring is done. Because life with Astrid will include: • Daily laughter • Random zoomies • Toy explosions • Surprise puppy kisses • And a whole lot of love In other words… exactly what puppyhood should be. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Astrid bring the adventures, the laughs, and the puppy chaos (the cute kind) into your life. 🐶💛
