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 Ingrid — Tiny Adventurer with a BIG Love for Life 🐾🌼 Female • 3 Months Old • Future Perfect Medium Size If joy had four legs and a wagging tail, it would probably look a lot like Ingrid. This 3-month-old sweetheart is living her very best “everything is amazing!” puppy life right now. Every leaf is fascinating. Every stick is treasure. Every new smell deserves a full investigation. Basically, Ingrid approaches life like a tiny explorer who just discovered the world yesterday and plans to check out all of it. Her daily routine currently includes: • Zoomies at high speed • Wrestling matches with dog friends • Toy tossing competitions (self-judged) • Serious outdoor exploration • Random dramatic puppy naps • Repeat as needed Ingrid is very social and loves playing with other dogs. If there’s a dog nearby willing to run, tumble, or engage in a little friendly backyard wrestling, she’s ready to clock in immediately. She’s also a big fan of the outdoors and would thrive with a family that enjoys walks, hiking, camping, backyard playtime, and general adventuring. Basically, if you say the words “Let’s go!” she’ll already be at the door! Ingrid loves people too — but we do include the official puppy disclaimer: she is currently equipped with tiny shark teeth and sharp little puppy nails. Don’t worry, they come standard with most puppies and are typically used for things like enthusiastic kisses, toy battles, and occasionally investigating your shoelaces. Cats are currently unknown, but since Ingrid is still so young, with proper introductions she should adapt just fine. Ingrid would be an amazing match for an active family looking for a dog who will happily join in on life’s adventures — from hiking trails and camping trips to backyard games and evening couch snuggles once the day’s fun is done. Because bringing Ingrid home means you can expect: • Lots of laughter • Plenty of puppy shenanigans • Random zoomies across the yard • Toys scattered like festive decorations • And a lifetime supply of unconditional love 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Ingrid bring the adventure, the laughs, and the happy puppy chaos into your life. 🐶💛

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats,

Story

Meet Raptor, the puppy who likes to pretend he’s the cool, calm, collected member of the group… until you get him one-on-one. Around the other puppies, Raptor acts like the laid-back observer. But the moment he has you to himself? Surprise! The chill guy disappears and the attention-loving goofball comes out. If you stop petting him, he will absolutely let you know about it. Raptor believes attention should be continuous and uninterrupted. His favorite hobby is shoe sabotage. Raptor specializes in sneaking up while you're standing there minding your business and carefully untying your shoelaces. It’s a very important job and he takes it seriously. Raptor gets along well with his siblings and lives with four adult dogs and four cats. The dogs are cool with him, and he would very much like to be friends with the cats… but the cats have not yet approved his application. If you're looking for a puppy who is equal parts chill, silly, affectionate, and mildly mischievous, Raptor is ready to keep you entertained. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story

Meet Knox, the playful little guy who proudly serves as Vice President of Puppy Shenanigans. While his sister Dot may run the gang, Knox is right behind her making sure the fun never stops. He’s a happy, affectionate pup who loves attention and is not afraid to tell you exactly what’s on his mind. Got a thought? Knox has one too. Probably several. Knox’s most impressive talent is his ongoing attempt to escape Mount Puppy Pen, a daring climbing challenge he approaches with the determination of a tiny Alcatraz escape artist. Security improvements are currently under review. He’s playful, social, and enjoys wrestling with his siblings and the other dogs in the house. Knox also lives with cats and would probably love to be friends… if they’d stop giving him the cold shoulder. If you're looking for a puppy who is fun, expressive, affectionate, and slightly convinced he's part mountain goat, Knox might be your guy. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Frankie

Rat Terrier

Male, Adult

Sharon, CT

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Frankie is a fiercely loyal little guy with a huge heart — and a strong preference for his person. At just 15 pounds, he’s a compact companion with a classic Rat Terrier personality: intelligent, spirited, and yes — a bit bossy! But if you’re a terrier-savvy person who understands and appreciates these traits, Frankie could be your ideal match. Frankie is the definition of a “one-person dog.” Once he chooses you, he loves with his whole heart. He bonds deeply and intensely, and he can be quite protective of that bond — which means he prefers a quiet home without too many new faces coming and going. He’s not the kind of dog who wants to make friends with everyone, and he doesn’t need to. He just needs you. Frankie especially adores men, and he does well with other dogs — particularly female terriers who speak his same spunky language. He’s fully house-trained, crate-trained, and walks nicely on leash. He thrives with structure and consistency and would do best with someone who can give him both. If you understand terriers and appreciate a loyal companion who will be completely devoted to you (and only you!), Frankie is waiting. He’s not for everyone — but for the right person, he’ll be everything. 🐾❤️
