Story
🐾 Meet Turbo! 🐾 3 years old • 8 lbs • Rat Terrier • 100% TURBO CHARGED! ⚡😂 Some dogs come into the shelter scared, nervous, and unsure of themselves. NOT TURBO. Turbo came through the door like, “Alright everybody, I’m here. Where are the snacks, where are the toys, and who’s in charge? Oh wait…ME.” 😂 This tiny 8-pound Rat Terrier is packed with personality! Rat Terriers are known for being smart, curious, energetic, alert, and just a little bit nosy—and Turbo is proudly representing his breed! He’s the kind of guy who needs to know: 🐾 What you’re doing 🐾 Why you’re doing it 🐾 Whether he can help 🐾 And most importantly…does it involve treats? Turbo is fun, confident, playful, and ready for adventure. He may only weigh 8 pounds, but nobody has bothered to tell him that. In his mind, he’s approximately the size of a Great Dane with the authority of a tiny sheriff. 🤠 If you love a dog with big personality, lots of laughs, and a motor that rarely quits, Turbo might just be your guy. ⚡ Warning: Turbo does not come with a slow setting. ❤️🐾

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.** ❤️

George was a stray that found his way into someone’s backyard. They didn’t know how he got in but they were determined to keep him in. They were unsuccessful. They tried to fix their fence to keep him in but he kept finding ways to escape. Finally they decided he wasn’t a good fit for them. George wanted to be an inside dog! He wants to be a part of the family. He wants to sleep in the bed with you and sit in your lap! George has done great with his temporary family. He does not try to escape anymore. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested negative. Now all George needs is someone who will love him as part of their family!

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.

Story
Meet Sidney! 🐾 Sidney is a 1-year-old, 10-pound Jack Russell Terrier blend who has officially decided that being sad is overrated. She was owner-surrendered through absolutely no fault of her own, so when she first arrived, she wasn't quite sure what to think. For a few days, she gave us the classic "I'll just quietly judge everyone from over here" look. But then she remembered something very important... She's a terrier, and a Jack Russell one at that! (Maybe some chihuahua thrown in for good measure) What was she thinking? Her tail has started to wag, and there is no doubt, her adorable smile will be on full display in no time! We truly believe after a few days in your home, that fun, happy, "let's see what's happening over there!" personality that Jack Russell fans know and love will shine through! Sidney has the sweetest eyes and heart wrapped up in a tiny 10-pound package. She's ready to leave the past where it belongs. All she needs now is a family who appreciates that this sweet girl needs just a little warm up period and to help her to remember who she is, a happy young pup that has the rest of her life ahead of her! If your house could use more smiles, more tail wags and love, then Sidney is ready to apply for the position.

Story
Meet Quimby! 🐾❤️ Quimby is 2 years old, 12 pounds, and one adorable little wire-haired Terrier blend who was found running the streets. Now our question is… HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN?! 😂 Seriously, Quimby. You weigh 12 pounds. You have little legs. You look like you should have been sitting on someone’s couch supervising the household—not out there trying to live the life of an outlaw! Thankfully, this tiny fugitive finally got scooped up, and you can almost see the relief on his face. Quimby is simply happy to be safe. Even being at the rescue seems pretty wonderful to him because there’s food, soft beds, kind hands and—most importantly—nobody expects him to figure out where dinner is coming from. Quimby is gentle, loving and incredibly sweet. He has that wonderful Terrier combination of scruffy hair, enormous personality and a face that looks like he may have several very important opinions. And then there are THOSE EYES. 😍 Those big brown eyes could probably get him out of a speeding ticket, an overdue library book AND whatever happened to the sandwich you left unattended. He’s scruffy. He’s sweet. He’s 12 pounds of precious. And his days of running the streets are officially OVER. Now Quimby is looking for the kind of adventure he deserves—the one that ends with a family, a couch and his very own spot in the bed. ❤️🐾 Quimby is ready to be somebody’s little everything.
