Story
Please note that we are a foster based rescue in TX. All of our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. We transport them to new states once adopted. **ALL ADOPTERS MUST BE 21+.** Our app can be found at **haydudeequine.org** ## Meet Tater Tot! 🥔🐾 Born on May 15, 2026, **Tater Tot** is a tiny guy with a HUGE personality! This adorable Rat Terrier mix weighs just 6 pounds, but he packs a whole lot of love, fun, and charm into his little frame. Tater Tot is a happy, outgoing puppy who has never met a stranger. He loves making new friends—both two-legged and four-legged—and is always ready for his next adventure. One of his favorite pastimes is wrestling and playing with his brothers, but when playtime is over, he's more than happy to curl up in your arms for some serious snuggles. Being held is one of his favorite places to be! Like any puppy, Tater Tot loves his toys and is always excited for a game. He's also doing a fantastic job learning his potty-training routine and is eager to keep learning with a family who will continue to help him succeed. Tater Tot gets along wonderfully with both big and small dogs, does well with cats, and has the friendly, easygoing personality that makes him a great addition to just about any home. If you're looking for a **tiny little sidekick with a big personality**, Tater Tot is your guy! He'll keep you laughing, shower you with affection, and happily snuggle up with you after a day of fun. He's small enough to fit in your lap, but we're pretty sure he's planning to take up **your entire heart.** 🥔❤️🐾 **Tater Tot is ready to be your best friend for life!**

Story
FOSTER TO ADOPT UNTIL AFTER THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH FOR THEIR SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES. THAT MEANS YOU MUST LIVE UNDER AN HOUR FROM WATERLOO, IL AS THEY WILL NEED TO RETURN TO THE RESCUE ONCE THEIR VET APPOINTMENT IS SCHEDULED THE NIGHT BEFORE THEIR SURGERY. These kiddos are Charlie's babies so we call them Charlie's Daniels Band :) Their names are all from songs from the band also. They are all happy little nuggets that were a Mother's Day gift to us from their cute, sweet, outgoing momma Charlie. She will be listed once vetted as well. These kids daddy is also in our rescue as well as the Grandma and Aunt. Rex is their dad, Trixie is their Aunt, and Lady is their Grandma. All these babies are each unique in their personalities. All were born with naturally docked tails but three. A few are scruffier like their daddy (he is a Dorkie). Mister has a medium scruff and a long tail that is always wagging. Sweet boy would love a family to call his own ##2794855##
