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. 🐶💛

Bear

Rat Terrier/Dachshund

Male, 2 yrs

Greenbelt, MD

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Bear is a tiny, handsome young man who is about one year old, 15 pounds, and VERY people focused and affectionate. His foster says that he loves to cuddle up next to her on the couch or in her lap. Bear lived with another dog and got along great. On walks, he does a lot of sniffing, and when he met another dog on a leash, they sniffed eachother and he did very well! Bear came to us when his owner unexpectedly passed away . He lived in a home with other dogs, so we think he would do well in a new home with dogs - but is also fine without. . We are told that he is house and crate trained, and that he is not a barker. He likes to follow his foster around like her shadow, and he goes into his crate happily. He also enjoys scampering in the back yard, playing with toys, getting belly rubs. Bear is a great dog looking for a great home! Bear is brand new to PAW and we will update more as we get to know him better. PAW adopts to MD, DC, southern PA, and northern VA. ##2677552##

Sherman (VA)

Rat Terrier/Chihuahua

Male, Adult

Poolesville, MD

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

Story

Sherman (aka Shermie or Sherm) is a handsome little rat terrier mix with a heart full of love. Rescued from a busy shelter where he was too nervous to shine, he's now thriving in foster care in Northern Virginia and showing his true, gentle spirit. About 2–3 years-old and 15 lbs., Sherman is sweet, sensitive, and playful. He may need a little time to warm up to new people, but once he trusts you, he becomes a deeply loyal companion who loves being by your side. He enjoys other small dogs and has a submissive, easygoing play style. Sherman would do well with a confident canine buddy — or as an only pup soaking up all the attention. He'd really thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day. Though he can be a bit skittish when first being leashed, he quickly relaxes and truly enjoys walks, car rides, and playdates with his small dog friends. Sherman is progressing nicely with house-training and does well on a consistent schedule. He has gotten along well with cats, kids and dogs of all sizes. He just needs slow introductions (and lots and lots of treats) when meeting new people and pets. With patience and love, Sherman will blossom into a devoted little shadow who bonds deeply and gives his whole heart.

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)
