Story
Meet Gia 🐾 2 years old | 15 lbs | Rat Terrier | Professional Clinger Hi. It’s me. Gia. I may have convinced the rescue humans I needed time to decompress… when really I was securing a situation where I could demand constant, uninterrupted attention. Mission: successful. 😌 I’m a lap dog disguised as a Rat Terrier mix. All 15 pounds of me run on pure “please hold me” energy. Personal space is a myth, and petting should be a full-time job. I insist on being carried like the tiny queen I am and will politely (with paws and intense eye contact) remind you that your hands belong on me. When I was placed on the floor for 30 whole seconds so my foster could eat, I filed a formal complaint. Unacceptable. Beyond my elite cuddling skills, I’m also a very good girl: 🐾 Fully potty trained 🐾 Loves kids (tested on the neighbor’s) 🐾 Indifferent to cats 🐾 Happy as an only dog or part of a pack 🐾 Treat-motivated and a quick learner I already know high five and learned to use doggie stairs so I can sleep in the bed—where I clearly belong. If you want a tiny supervisor who doubles as a heated blanket and emotional support dog… hi. it’s me. I’m Gia. 💕

Story
Hi, I’m Fluttershy, a 2-year-old, 26-pound Rat Terrier–Chihuahua blend with the sweetest little gentle heart. 💕 My specialty is quietly nudging you with my nose, then kissing your hand. It’s my polite way of saying, “Excuse me, your hand appears to be available for petting.” I have excellent manners—and a very convincing nose! I get along with everyone and bring a soft, loving spirit wherever I go. After being rescued from the streets, I spent time in a loving foster home in the Rio Grande Valley. My forever family hadn’t found me there, so I came to Boerne to spread the love. Consider it a tiny sweetheart’s relocation tour! Now I’m looking for someone who appreciates gentle company, little kisses, and ears big enough to hear a treat bag opening in the next county. Could you be my happily ever after? 🐾💕

Story
Please note that this dog is currently located in TX and will be transported once adopted. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. 🐾 Meet Vaquero! 🤠 **Rat Terrier Mix • Born May 15, 2026 • 7 lbs of pure puppy perfection** ### Here's what the humans have to say about me: 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 adoption application can be found at **haydudeequine.org**. Now that we've gotten the boring human stuff out of the way… **HI! I’M VAQUERO!** 🐶 I may weigh only 7 pounds, but I have apparently decided that I need to fill every available inch of your heart, your lap, and possibly your home. I am a **Rat Terrier mix puppy**, which means I come with an impressive combination of adorable, playful, curious, and just the right amount of *“What’s that?! I MUST INVESTIGATE!”* 😂 I love wrestling with my brothers, chasing toys, exploring everything I can possibly find, and generally making sure nobody in the house gets too comfortable. I believe puppies should be busy. There are toys to chase! Things to sniff! Brothers to tackle! But after all that important puppy business, I am very happy to clock out and report for **snuggle duty**. ❤️ Give me a warm lap and a cozy spot, and I will happily curl up in your arms for a nap. I am basically a tiny adventure buddy who comes with a built-in cuddle setting. I'm also doing **really well with my potty training** and am eager to keep learning. I'm a smart little guy, and with a family willing to keep teaching me, I'm going to make an excellent companion. I get along wonderfully with **dogs of all sizes** and do well with **cats**, too. I love people, I love adventures, I love playtime, and I REALLY love being loved. So whether you're looking for a hiking buddy, a playmate, a couch potato, a professional snuggler, or someone who will make you laugh approximately 47 times a day… **Vaquero has submitted his application for the position.** 🐾 I'm small right now, but I've got a **BIG personality and an even bigger heart**. All I need now is a forever family to grow up with. **Come meet me. I have a feeling we're going to be best friends.** ❤️

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 Harmony! Hi, I'm Harmony! I'm a happy, outgoing 3-year-old Jack Russell–Chihuahua mix who weighs about 18 pounds, and I have quite a story. I was found on the border of Mexico and Texas with a litter of puppies. Life had already thrown a lot at me by the time I was rescued, but I'm proof that a little love and safety can change everything. Now I'm ready for the next chapter – a real forever home. I'm friendly and social with other dogs and do great with people of all sizes. Whether you're tall, short, young, or grown, I'm happy to meet you. I'm housebroken, kennel-trained, walk nicely on a leash, and even know how to use a dog door like a pro. I'm the kind of girl who can settle comfortably into an apartment or a house – as long as I get to be with my people, I'm content. I may be small, but I've got a big personality and a big heart. I'm cheerful, affectionate, and always ready for the next good thing. If you're looking for a sweet, well-mannered little companion who's already overcome so much and is ready to give all her love to a family of her own, I'd be so happy if that family was yours. Come meet me – I can't wait to show you how far I've come and how much love I still have to give!

Story
Meet Timmy! 🐾 Timmy is a 7-month-old, 21-pound Jack Russell Terrier blend with a sweetheart and a gentle soul. His story began when he, his mom, and his siblings were abandoned in a backyard. Thankfully, a caring neighbor reached out for help, giving this little family a chance at a better life. Timmy came into foster care with two of his siblings, who have since found their forever homes. Now it's Timmy's turn! Timmy absolutely loves other dogs, and a home with a confident canine companion is a must for him. Having another dog around helps him feel secure and brings out his playful side. Once he's comfortable, Timmy loves to play hard, act silly, hand out kisses, and show off the wonderful personality hidden beneath his initial shy exterior. Timmy is naturally cautious with new people and situations. He takes time to trust and needs a family that understands that relationships are built with positive reinforcement. The kisses are definitely worth earning! He recently completed three weeks of summer camp training and made tremendous progress, showing just how much potential he has when given patience, guidance, and understanding. His foster mom describes him as incredibly loving and super sweet. Despite being shy and unsure in new situations, Timmy has never once growled or shown any type of aggression. When he feels safe, his affectionate and happy nature shines through. Timmy needs that very special home—one that truly understands him and appreciates him for who he is. His cautious nature isn't something that will magically disappear, he simply needs people who will meet him where he is and help him continue building confidence. In return, you'll get to watch a shy dog blossom and learn the world isn't out to get him! In his foster home, Timmy has been a very very good well-behaved boy and is loved beyond measure. We know his perfect family is out there—someone willing to give him the time, patience, and encouragement he deserves. If you're looking for a sweet companion and understand that the best relationships take time to grow, Timmy may be the perfect match for you. Once you're part of his trusted circle, you'll have a devoted friend for life.
