Story
Who's better than the rest-y? That's right, it's me, Betsy! I am a cool Chinese Shar-Pei mixed female with a Tuxedo colored coat and white socks! My facial features even have a cool black and white coloring to them too! I was rescued from a bad hoarding situation alongside my siblings, thing's weren't looking good for us. But our big-hearted rescuers saved us and got us on the road to better care and living great lives! Betsy likes to chew on big bones, occasionally wiggle her ears around, and bark at squirrels. Now we're on our way to finding our forever homes. Learning how to socialize with other dogs, take walks, and play fetch with a ball. Stay tuned for more updates on my journey! This is Betsy signing off! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)

Have you ever heard on the TV, well a hoarder's house has been raided and ... animals have been seized and sent to the pound or rescue organizations in the area.... WELL, we are FROM just that kind of situation :( The good thing is we were SAVED... the bad thing is that we had to ENDURE the neglect and disgusting home. The BEST thing is we were ALL SAVED by a rescue group who REFUSED to leave even ONE behind...... 30 dogs/pups ALL AT ONCE has been taxing and motivating for the rescuers. If you watch our video, the situation was very very challenging but our rescuers worked their butts off to save us. We are almost all ready for adoption, all the pups are social and ready for their furever homes! The young adults and adults are a little more shy but have been working really hard with our rescuers to be ready for YOU!! We are a unique "breed" mix, lol. Aunts/Uncles/Parents/SIblings... all "living" together. We have Shar Pei, Scruffy dogs, Pit Bull, and maybe Spaniel mixed in there :D We are all pretty much medium sized, 20-50# and cute as HECK!!

Meet Cruz! This handsome big boy has a larger-than-life personality and a heart just as big. Cruz is incredibly loving, playful, confident, and smart. He walks around like he owns the place, making friends wherever he goes and winning people over with his happy, goofy charm.

He has so much love to give and is more than ready to find a family of his own. Cruz is social and does well with other dogs. He loves being around people and is always ready for fun, whether it's going for a walk, playing with his favorite toys, or soaking up all the attention he can get. He's also walking beautifully on a leash and enjoys exploring the world with his people. If you're looking for a dog that will keep you smiling, shower you with affection, and be your loyal sidekick on every adventure, Cruz is your guy. He's a happy, playful, affectionate love bug with a big personality and an even bigger heart. All he needs now is the forever family he's been waiting so patiently to find.

Story
Miss Bea’s journey really started when she was rescued along with 30 other dogs on the property due to an extreme hoarding situation. She was one of two mamas that just had her babies and she was so glad to be reunited with them at the rescue! She raised 8 of those babies and her sister raised the other 9 pups! They survived a horrible situation and both Miss Bea and her sister, Betsy (also available for adoption), were just wonderful mamas. Now it is THEIR TURN to find homes!!! Miss Bea's foster moms adore her and here is what they have to say, " We knew the task to foster Miss Bea was going to be a slow process. We had been briefed about her being feral and was familiar after fostering her son, sweet Hondo, what it would take. With some love, patience, and a bit of know how , she has turned into my little “happy to see me” shadow (see her videos!!). She has a big bark for a little girl but it is only when appropriate. Loves yummy treats and affection from the people she knows and trust so much so she will paw at you to keep going. She isn’t the biggest fan of going for walks because outside can be scary sometimes but does have some leash confidence. She has no issues with being in the presence of kids. She is great with our other dog and is potty and kennel trained. We couldn’t pick her up for months but now she just plops on me like we have known each other our whole lives. Miss Bea needs a special home that will give her the time and gentleness to allow her to open up." Bea has been given a NEW LIFE and she is ready to SHARE THAT LIFE and HOPE WITH YOU!!! PLEASE ADOPT!! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Piper This 5-year-old Sharpei/Pitbull mix is the perfect blend of sweet, snuggly, and just the right amount of playful. Piper has a low-to-medium energy vibe—she’s always up for a nice walk or a game of fetch, but she’s just as happy curled up beside you soaking in all the love. She does well with other dogs and kids, but if we’re being honest… Piper would love to be your main girl. She thrives on attention and will happily claim her spot as the center of your world (and your couch). And speaking of spots—Piper is not a “foot of the bed” kind of dog. She’s more of a “head on the pillow, tucked in next to you” kind of snuggler. If you’ve got room in your bed (and your heart), she’s ready to fill it. Recently, Piper had surgery to correct her entropion, and now she’s bright-eyed, comfortable, and ready for her fresh start. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will adore you endlessly and keep your pillow warm… Piper is your girl October 25, 2026, 9:44 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Trixie  Trixie’s story didn’t start the way any dog deserves. This sweet girl found herself abandoned on a leash outside a veterinary clinic, left behind and waiting for someone to give her a chance. Now, she’s ready to leave that chapter behind and find the loving forever family she deserves! Trixie is a super sweet, gentle girl who seems to have a submissive nature. She walks nicely on a leash, appears to be pretty much crate-trained, and has not been much of a barker so far. One of her cutest qualities is that she loves having her picture taken. She’s a natural in front of the camera and seems happy to show off her beautiful self. Trixie would love a family who will give her patience, kindness, security, and plenty of affection. One important note: Trixie is NOT cat-friendly, so she will need a home without cats. Trixie is spayed, 4DX negative, microchipped, and current on vaccines. She has also received ProHeart 12 for heartworm prevention and Bravecto for flea and tick prevention. Her adoption fee is $300. Trixie is currently in Texas but can travel to Washington, Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, Kentucky, and locations along the East Coast. Additional $250 transport fee. Due to state regulations, Trixie cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts. Ready to give Trixie the happily-ever-after she deserves?

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 Duke! There's a new star in town, and this one has four legs! Meet Duke, a handsome 10-month-old, 45-pound Bulldog/Staffordshire Terrier mix (our best guess) who is ready to find his forever family. Duke is a happy, playful, people-loving pup who thinks everyone he meets is a potential best friend. He's wonderful with other dogs and loves having a canine buddy to play with. His favorite game? FETCH! He'll happily chase a toy, bring it back, and do it all over again. And if there's water involved? Even better! Duke absolutely loves the water, so a family who enjoys outdoor adventures, swimming, or just watching a goofy dog have the time of his life would be right up his alley. At 10 months old, Duke still has plenty of puppy fun in him, but he's also incredibly sweet and eager to be part of a family. He's looking for a home where he can get plenty of love, playtime, and adventures—and maybe a comfy couch for those post-fetch naps. If you're looking for a fun-loving, water-loving, dog-friendly goofball to add some excitement (and a whole lot of love) to your life, Duke might just be your guy! Apply to adopt Duke at haydudeequine.org!
