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 Abbott – The Funniest Pup on the Field! At about 1 year old and 18 pounds, Abbott may not be a stand-up comedian, but he and his brother Costello are quite the comedy duo! Always ready to keep you laughing, Abbott’s got the timing, the energy, and the charm to turn every day into a highlight reel of “Who’s on first?” moments. (Spoiler alert: Abbott says he’s on first... Every time.) With his beautiful dark gray coat and warm tan markings, he’s as dashing as he is delightful. Still a puppy at heart, Abbott is playful, affectionate, and full of life. He’s the pawfect size for both outdoor adventures and couch-time cuddles, making him the best of both worlds — your hiking buddy and your Classic Comedy co-star. He does great with his foster dog pals and, while cats are still an unknown, we think with proper introductions he just might surprise us - he’s got that comedian charm that’s hard to resist. Abbott’s the kind of guy who doesn’t just make you smile — he makes you laugh out loud. Whether he’s chasing a toy, zooming across the yard, or tilting his head like he’s waiting for his cue, he’s always ready to bring joy to the scene. He’s the kind of guy who can turn an ordinary day into a laugh-filled adventure — his goofy expressions and happy tail are guaranteed to bring those daily LOLs. So, who’s on first? Abbott, of course! Adopt this lovable goofball and get ready for endless laughs, unconditional love, and your very own furry best friend. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and get ready for your daily dose of laughter, love, and loyal companionship. 🐾

Story
Hey there, it’s (Lucky) Jack . I’ve been told I’m a bit of a catch, so I figured I’d try this singles ad thing. I’m a handsome 9-year-old fella looking for my forever family. I’m good with kids, other dogs and cats, so I’m kind of a catch! I’m all about a quiet night in, snuggling on the couch and supervising your every move to make sure you’re safe from rabid squirrels. My resume includes “Master Cuddler,” “Expert Napper,” and “Professional Treat Inspector,” so I’m bringing a lot to the table. My foster mom says I’m part cat because I love to perch on the back of the couch to keep an eye on everything. I’m housebroken & independent enough that I don’t mind keeping the couch warm when you’re away. I promise to be the best boy you’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves with his whole heart, send my rescue people a message. Let’s make it official. 💙🐾
