Story
Jacob is very friendly and loveable. He is a good dog. His owner had him from a puppy until recently when I agreed to keep him because she was no longer able to take care of him. I am holding him to find him a good home. He is 7 years old but still very active and no health issues. He is good with children and other pets.

Saturday, November 14th, 2026 at the Warren County Career Center from 11am - 3pm! Meet Molly! ❤️ At 8 years old and 16 pounds, Molly is a lovely Shih Tzu girl who knows that the best things in life are the simple ones: a little love, some attention, and a soft, cozy bed to call her own! Molly is a sweet, easygoing girl who gets along well with other dogs her size. She enjoys leash walks and seems to be housebroken, making her a wonderful companion for a lucky family. One of Molly's sweetest features is the way she greets you with a wag of her glorious tail! She doesn't ask for much, just a loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and comfortable. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who will happily share your couch, your heart, and maybe even your bed, Molly could be your perfect match! Give this sweet senior girl the happily-ever-after she deserves! Molly is fostered in the Cincinnati area. Her adoption fee is $300.00.

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. 🌌🐾 Ewok: The Cutest Little Thing in the Galaxy! 🐾🌌 “Yub nub!” (That's Ewok for “Please adopt me!” 😉) Calling all Star Wars fans! A very special creature has arrived from a galaxy far, far away… okay, fine, she's from Texas, but with a face like that, we're pretty sure she's intergalactic royalty! Meet Ewok, a 1-year-old, 12-pound Shih Tzu with the fluffiest little face this side of Endor! With her black-and-white coat, soulful eyes, and adorable teddy bear appearance, she's basically a real-life Ewok. The only thing missing is her own tiny hood and a spot on the Millennium Falcon! 🚀 Ewok can be a little shy when meeting new people, but don't worry—she doesn't need a Jedi mind trick to come around! Give her a little patience, kindness, and a few minutes to assess the situation, and she'll soon be ready to join your fan club. Once you're officially part of her inner circle, prepare for maximum snuggle mode. This little girl is a professional cuddlebug who believes the best place in the universe is right next to her favorite human. Forget saving the galaxy—she'd rather save you a spot on the couch! She's also good with other dogs, so she's open to having a furry copilot for her adventures. Ewok is looking for a loving family who will help her feel safe, give her time to warm up, and remind her every day that she's loved. In return, she'll offer endless cuteness, loyal companionship, and enough snuggles to power the Death Star. ❤️ The Force is strong with this one… especially when treats and cuddles are involved! Ready to welcome your very own little Ewok into your family? Don't let this tiny Wookiee fly off to another galaxy without you! 🐾 Apply to adopt Ewok at haydudeequine.org!

Story
Mustard is a sweet older gentleman who believes life is best enjoyed at a slower pace. This calm little guy is pretty much a professional couch potato—give him a comfy spot to curl up and he’s perfectly content! Mustard is visually impaired and needs daily eye drops for dry eye, but he gets around and enjoys life just fine. He does best with a calm routine and gentle handling, as fast movements can make him nervous. He is good with other dogs, especially when they respect his slower pace and personal space. Mustard is pee-pad trained and will also potty outside when taken out on a leash. He hasn’t quite learned how to let you know when he needs to go outside yet, so his new family will need to keep him on a consistent routine. Mustard isn’t looking for a busy, action-packed life. He’s looking for a soft couch, a peaceful home, and someone who will love and spoil him through his golden years. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
