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!
