Story
Molly is a young female who was found as a stray with her pregnant sister. She looks like a pug mix, maybe with a boxer. But that is a guess based on her good looks!!Molly can be shy when she first meets new people. She was very skiddish when she first arrived in her foster home and she took a few days to warm up. She is still nervous in new situations and can still be spooked by loud noises. However, once she is comfortable, she reveals her true playful, and silly personality!! Molly is crate trained but doesnt need to be crated other than for her comfort and security. Molly is potty trained. She is very playful and loves zoomies. Molly is not cat tested. Molly adores her sister and her sister's babies. We are gradually introducing her to other dogs.We do not recommend Molly for a house with young children because she would likely be very nervous around young playful kiddos. Molly will need a fenced yard or will need to be kept leashed outside at all times.The adoption fee for Molly is $250 and includes two sets of shots, spay surgery and microchip at our partner veterinarian.Apply to meet this sweet girl at www.ricopetrecovery.org.

Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org ALL ADOPTERS MUST BE 21+ 🐾☀️ Meet Concho — The Snuggliest Pug-ch of Joy You’ll Ever Meet ☀️🐾 Male • 6 Months Old • 17 lbs • Chihuahua x Pug • Professional Lap Warmer & Cuddle Engineer Concho is a 6-month-old, 17 lb tan bundle of love who’s pawsitively convinced that life is better when you’re touching a human. While his brother Tumbleweed is out running zoomies, Concho is busy perfecting the art of the full-body snuggle and the award-winning “melt into your lap” technique. This short-haired Chihuahua x Pug mix has the ultimate low-maintenance coat (less brushing, more blushing from all the compliments). He’s the most social and affectionate pup in the litter — a true people-pleaser who greets everyone with a full wiggle and zero personal space. Concho doesn’t just like cuddles… he’s utterly pug-sessed with them. He’s happiest being your personal shadow, your lap potato, or your emotional support snuggle bug. Playtime? He’s down for a quick wrestling match with his brother. But his real talent is turning any couch into a cuddle fortress. Life with Concho will include: • Endless tail wags and happy wiggles • Following you from room to room like a very cute stalker • World-class snuggle sessions • Occasional dramatic puppy sighs of contentment • Plenty of kisses and zero judgment At 17 lbs and still growing, he’s the perfect small-to-medium size — big enough for adventures, small enough to smuggle into almost anywhere. He’ll be your ideal partner for neighborhood strolls, errand co-piloting, and especially professional couch potato-ing. If your life could use more warmth, more giggles, and a little tan lovebug who’s Concho-lutely obsessed with you… this sweet boy is ready to come home and make every day pug-tastic! 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Concho wriggle his way into your heart! 🐶💛

Please note that we are a TX based rescue. We transport our dogs to new homes once adopted. All our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org ADOPTERS MUST BE OVER 21 TO APPLY 🐾☀️ Meet Tumbleweed — The Little Adventure Buddy with Big Puppy Energy ☀️🐾 Male • 6 Months Old • 17 lbs • Chihuahua x Pug • Professional Toy Tester & Zoomie Specialist Tumbleweed is a 6-month-old, 17 lb bundle of puppy happiness wrapped in a handsome darker tan coat and powered entirely by curiosity, wiggles, and snack motivation. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance grooming routine but high-maintenance cuddle expectations… congratulations, you’ve found your boy. This short-haired cutie is a Chihuahua x Pug mix, but his official breed classification is still “Certified Good-Time Puppy.” His coat is the perfect wash-and-go model — meaning less time brushing and more time doing the important things in life like belly rubs, snacks, and telling him how handsome he is. Tumbleweed is a happy, social little guy who loves other dogs and is especially fond of wrestling matches with his lighter-tan brother, Conroe. Their matches are intense, dramatic, and occasionally involve mid-playtime flops that look like someone hit the “puppy pause button.” Toys? Yes. Exploring outside? Absolutely. Meeting people? His tail is already wagging. He’s a curious little explorer who loves being outside checking out the world, sniffing everything like it’s part of an important investigation, and generally living life like every day is the best day ever. At his age, he should do just fine with cats when given proper introductions. He loves other dogs and people of all sizes, but keep in mind — he is still a young pup, which means he comes factory-equipped with those famous needle-sharp puppy teeth and enthusiastic little claws. Temporary features, but highly effective during playtime. Life with Tumbleweed will include: • Surprise zoomies through the living room • Dramatic puppy flops mid-play • Toy explosions across the house • Endless kisses • Occasional chaos • A whole lot of laughter Fully grown, he’ll likely stay in that perfect small-to-medium range — basically the goldilocks size of dogs: big enough for adventures, small enough to fit comfortably on the couch (or directly in your lap, according to him). He’ll be the perfect partner for: • Hiking trails • Camping trips • Neighborhood strolls • Co-piloting errand runs • And of course… professional couch snuggling once the day’s adventures are done. If your home could use more laughter, more puppy shenanigans, and a very happy little sidekick who thinks you hung the moon… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Tumbleweed bring the zoomies, the giggles, and the puppy love home. 🐶💛

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi!! I’m Petey! I’m an adorable pug/Dachshund mix, and I made my way here after a stay at Bandera Animal Control—but honestly, I’m just focused on the good stuff now… like PLAYTIME. I’ve got a big personality packed into a little body, and I’m full of energy and fun. I LOVE to play. Toys? Yes, please—all of them. I’ll chase them, toss them, and keep myself (and you) entertained. I’ve always got a little bounce in my step, and I’m happiest when I’m running around or right in the middle of whatever you’re doing. I’m super friendly and love everyone I meet, so making new friends is kind of my thing. I do get excited (okay, really excited), and I might bark to let you know just how happy I am—but that’s just me being me! Life is exciting, and I’m here for it. After I’ve burned off some energy, I’m more than happy to hang out and soak up attention. I just love being part of the action. I might need a little help with potty training at first, but I’m a smart guy and with some patience and consistency, I’ll get the hang of it in no time. My adoption fee is $400. If you want to take me home, apply at www.adoggie4you.org. I’m currently in Texas, but I can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and along the East Coast. If I need a ride to you, there’s an additional $225 transport fee. I can’t go to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state rules.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 18, 2026, 3:28 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Bandit, a handsome young pug with an adventurous streak and a heart full of love! Born around May 14, 2024, this sweet 18.4-pound boy was found exploring a local subdivision, charming multiple neighbors along the way. While everyone wanted to help the little runaway, Bandit proved himself to be quite the escape artist, cleverly digging out of various yards in his determined quest to find the action! Bandit is a true social butterfly. His main goal in life is to be right where the people are. When he gets loose, he doesn't run away; he rushes towards companionship! He is looking for a secure yard and a family who will give him plenty of attention and keep him close by, satisfying his deep desire to be part of the pack. Bandit has been fully vetted and is now receiving treatment for anaplasmosis, a common tick-borne disease discovered during his initial exam. He is doing great and just needs to complete his 30-day course of medication. He's on the mend and ready for his fresh start. This resilient, people-loving pug is eager to trade his days of solo adventures for a lifetime of cozy cuddles and family fun. If you’re looking for a loyal, friendly companion who promises to keep you entertained and loved, Bandit is eagerly waiting to steal your heart! You can apply for Bandit at www.adoggie4you.org.  His adoption fee is $350.  This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.

Story
Rio was a rescue, found at about 4 months old, alone. Soon after, she broke her hind leg after jumping on a tile floor, fixed with surgery. Due to this timeline, we missed a critical opportunity to train her well. She is very sweet and friendly, knows basic commands. She does have poor recall, so she has to be leashed at all times when outside. Despite her injury, she is really fast and loves playing with other dogs. However, she definitely needs to be in a home with another dog to use up the energy. We used to have a large fenced in yard where she was really happy.
