Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 💎 Meet Crystal – A Delicate Gem Ready to Shine 💎 At 3 years old and 26 pounds, Crystal is a soft-hearted sweetheart who’s still learning that the world can be kind. Coming from a hoarding situation, she’s understandably shy with new people and experiences. What she needs most isn’t fancy or flashy—it’s patience, gentleness, and time to let her true sparkle emerge. Like her name, Crystal is something rare and beautiful. With a little warmth and a lot of love, she’ll transform from a fragile gem into a radiant, trusting treasure. She’s already showing her softer side (literally)—she’s discovered a deep appreciation for all things cozy: soft blankets, soft pillows, and soft beds. She’s decided that comfort is, in fact, the cat's meow...err, the dog’s bark! 🐾 Crystal does wonderfully with other dogs and would do best having a confident 4 legged sibling to help her fit in and feel comfortable. But cats? Yeah, that’s gonna be a ‘nope’ from her — she prefers friends who bark back She would also do best in a quieter home with no small kiddos, where her person was retired or works from home. Crystal doesn’t ask for much—just a safe home where she can finally rest, heal, and learn that love doesn’t have to be scary. Once she trusts you, her affection shines through like sunlight through glass—steady, warm, and endlessly pure. She’ll reward your patience tenfold with quiet love, loyalty, and those gentle tail wags that mean everything. If you’re the kind of person who believes that the best treasures take time to reveal their beauty, Crystal is waiting for you. 💖 ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and help this hidden gem find her forever sparkle. ✨

Weighing around 15 pounds and estimated to be about 3 and a half years old, Bitsy is soaking up the comfort of a calm, safe home—something she may be experiencing for the first time. She’s incredibly well-mannered and has had perfect potty habits from the start, always going outside when carried to the yard. While she’s still gaining confidence, Bitsy is already showing signs of trust, happily resting in her cozy bed and allowing gentle handling, even during bath time. She’s not quite sure what to make of toys or treats just yet, but every day she’s learning and observing. Bitsy gets along with calm, respectful dogs, though she would likely prefer a peaceful home where she can be the center of someone’s quiet world or share space with a gentle canine companion. She hasn’t had much experience with leashes or exploring new environments, so a fenced yard is a must while she continues to build confidence. What Bitsy lacks in boldness, she makes up for in sweetness. She’s a soft, soulful girl who is ready to bond with someone patient and loving. With a little time and a lot of love, Bitsy will absolutely bloom into the loyal, affectionate companion she was always meant to be.

At 14 pounds and 13 inches tall, he’s the perfect size for lap cuddles—and once he trusts you, he’ll happily claim that spot! Rigel is low-to-moderate energy, low-shedding, and very big on love once he feels safe. Rigel is still learning that the world isn’t so scary. He’s shy and skittish at first, especially around men or anyone standing nearby. He’s most comfortable with women and prefers calm, quiet environments where he can build trust at his own pace. But if you’re patient, Rigel will reward you tenfold with affection, snuggles, and a sweet little paw to your hand asking for more love. He especially enjoys lounging in a cozy dog bed, following his person around the house, and curling up next to you in bed (he’s a pro with the dog ramp!). Rigel gets along beautifully with other respectful dogs and even cats. He’s starting to play with his foster siblings and would thrive in a home with another confident, friendly dog to show him the ropes. He’s not fully potty trained yet, and leash walks are still a work in progress, so a fenced yard is a must—especially since he’s nervous about doorways and can be a bit of a flight risk. He’s come a long way already, bravely running out to the yard on his own and returning like a champ. While crates aren’t his favorite (he’ll bark and need time to settle), Rigel has done very well with free roam of the house, showing no signs of destructive behavior. He’s a smart boy and will blossom with gentle guidance, consistent routines, and lots of love. Rigel isn’t the kind of dog who’ll greet you with wild enthusiasm on day one—but give him time, and you’ll discover a loyal little shadow who just wants to be close, feel safe, and love you deeply. If you have a calm home, a dog buddy, and a heart for helping shy dogs bloom, Rigel might just be your perfect match!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Boston is a tiny five-pound gentleman who has perfected the art of quiet living, cozy lounging, and mysteriously appearing in the softest dog bed in the house. He’s still learning what this whole “living indoors with humans” thing is all about, so he approaches the world with gentle caution, as if everything might suddenly ask him to file a tax return. But every day he gets a little braver, and his foster family is cheering from the sidelines as he discovers that laps are warm, couches are safe, and belly-up invitations lead to snuggles, not doom. When he’s not curled up like a perfectly toasted croissant in a fluffy bed, Boston can usually be found playing with his small dog buddies. In fact, other dogs are his comfort crew, his emotional support squad, and his favorite teachers in everything from playtime etiquette to “how to steal the good nap spot.” Although he would love a home with another small dog in his forever home, so long as his humans are home most of the time, he is okay as an only pup.   Boston is an excellent car rider, a respectful crate napper, and a timid explorer who prefers to observe new people from a safe distance before deciding they might be acceptable treat dispensers. He’s potty trained, but he needs a fenced yard because leashes are still confusing, and he thinks the great outdoors is best enjoyed from a secure space where he can toddle around without any surprises. This little man has already come so far. In the evenings, he climbs onto the couch, sits with his foster people, and even offers a tiny invitation to be picked up. He may be shy, but he is overflowing with sweetness, curiosity, and quiet charm. Boston is truly a gentle soul who just needs someone patient enough to let him bloom at his own pace. Whoever adopts him is getting a hidden treasure with the softest heart and the most endearing little spirit.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Isley, known as Izzy to those lucky enough to share a couch with her, is nine pounds of fluffy poodle charm wrapped in equal parts sass, sweetness, and tiny diva energy. She’s a miniature shadow who follows her people everywhere, determined to be both your personal assistant and your full-time emotional support gremlin. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who will love you with her entire soul and also judge you just a tiny bit while doing it, Izzy is your girl. Izzy warms up slowly to new people, especially men, and she is not afraid to announce her suspicions with a bark or two (or ten). The whole time she’s barking, her tail is wagging like mad because she’s brave, but she’s also friendly, and she also has a lot of feelings and wants to share them all at once. Once she decides you’re safe, she melts into a puddle of cuddles, kisses, and goofy charm. She loves treats, toys, puzzle games, raw bones, and anything edible—even strawberries and bell peppers. She is very proud of this. She’s food-motivated, attention-motivated, and absolutely certain she deserves both at all times. Izzy plays beautifully with dogs and cats, though what she wants most is a human who’s home a lot so she can keep her favorite job: professional lap warmer. Izzy is crate trained and does well once she’s in, though she’ll give you her best dramatic monologue about how she’d rather not. Potty training is definitely still a work in progress, but she’s getting there—slowly but surely—with routine, patience, and frequent breaks. She’s working on leash skills too, mostly because she’s very busy being adorable indoors and hasn’t quite decided if walking nicely outside is worth the effort. Her bond with other pups is strong, and she takes her protector role seriously. She will curl up happily with them in the coziest spots—often in a dark closet or wedged between pillows like tiny royalty figures napping on a throne. Izzy has a whole vocabulary of barks, from her excited play chirps to her “something suspicious is happening” alarm call. She’s expressive, funny, affectionate, and smart in that mischievous poodle way that means she’ll make you laugh daily. Izzy is a quirky, cuddly, vocal little sweetheart who will adore her people with her entire heart. If you want a tiny companion who sleeps like a princess, plays like a goofball, and loves like she means it, Izzy is ready to claim her spot in your pillows—and in your life.  Off you’re looking for an adorable pair, adoptable Fiora is her bestie!
