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
Avenell is snuggly, playful, and wonderful with kids of all ages. She loves belly scratches, plays with toys, and has a very clear and specific position on resource guarding: toys and treats are hers when a dog tries to take them, but a human (adult or toddler) can touch her food and toys without any issue whatsoever. Bath and brushing are tolerated rather than loved, but she doesn't make it a whole thing. She's good with other dogs, hasn't met cats yet, and overall is just a sweet, affectionate, easy girl who wants to be close to her people and play and get belly scratches. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
Swannie is a 2 year old, spayed, beautiful chocolate and white shihtzu looking for her forever home. Swannie is very shy and timid at first and will slowly warm up to her people as she settles in and learns she is safe in her new home. Once that happens, look out because here comes the zoomies! Swannie loves toys! She likes entertaining herself with any dog toy as well as playing tug with you or a furry friend. She gets along well with other dogs. Peaceful co-existence at the beginning and interactive chase and play when she gets to know them. Cats are a curiosity for her. She lets them know she’s there by barking. She doesn’t chase them. With proper guidance and training she should be fine with cats. She is doing well with her potty training routine and will need your help & support transitioning to her new home. She sleeps through the night without accidents. She has decided her favorite place to sleep is at the foot of her foster family’s bed. She’s a good eater and will take treats. Once she is over her shyness she should be easy to train. Swannie will always let you know if she’s done with her food or her water bowl is empty. She will push it around to remind you to pick it up or fill the water. Leash training is progressing slowly. She wants to do all the dog things she didn’t have in her prior environment, she’s just timid and shy at first. Patience and consistency as she works those things out will help her accomplish goals. She is getting used to riding in the car. She will need someone physically able to lift her up and confident in holding her. She is squirrelly until she trusts you. Once you earn her trust she is cuddly, sweet and does the cutest happy dance for you when you get home. Love and patience is the primary trait she is looking for in her forever family. -----
