Story
I adopted Mojo and his sister, Maggie, from Howard County Animal Shelter in 2020. They were a bonded pair, Akbash breed, and the shelter was having trouble finding a home for them together, so I adopted them. Maggie was ill with hypothyroidism and epilepsy and died in November 2024. Mojo is a wonderful dog with all humans and other dogs, but he is a livestock protector and will kill cats. I live in an area with stray cat colonies, and he has gotten away from me several times when he sees a cat. I love cats and it is hard for me to live with a dog that kills cats. I love Mojo but he is so hard for me to manage. He weighs130 pounds and can get away from me easily. I did have a dog walker, but he is unable to walk Mojo anymore. It's also hard to afford the daily cost of a dog walker. I am looking for a home with someone who has a large fenced in yard and who can walk him every day. He is old and easy to walk unless he sees an animal he perceives as prey.

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 Max! At 91 pounds, Max is a whole lot of dog — and an even bigger amount of good boy! This approximately 3-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix is the total package: handsome, well-mannered, and ready to find his forever family. Max is an easygoing guy who gets along with other dogs, does well with cats, and is wonderful with people of all sizes. Kids? Adults? Tiny humans? Tall humans? Max is happy to make friends with them all! Even better, Max is already house-trained! No need to start from scratch with this big guy. He's neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to trade shelter life for a couch, a yard, and a family to call his own. If you've been looking for a loyal, loving companion with a heart as big as his paws, Max might just be your guy. He has so much love to give and is ready to find the people who will love him right back. Max is ready to go home! Could that home be yours?

Story
Loki is a 5 year old male great pyrenees with lots of personality! I have had loki since he was 8 weeks and he has been my best friend throughout the years. Unfortunately, he has bitten two individuals in the past and has recently tried biting my three year old daughter. I have an 8 month old as well and I must protect my children. We have spent money on trainers and gadgets to mediate this issue. He does well with a muzzle and a prong collar on walks. If you are interested in loki you must have experience with large breed dogs, preferably LGDs, you must have land and live in a household with no children or other pets. Yes, loki is adorable- but he is a breed that needs an experienced owner, especially since he has a bite history. This is very hard for me so please be understanding and only message me if you are truly interested and ready to take on a dog with special needs like his.

Story
River is a 5-6 yo mixed breed dog who was abandoned with 3 housemates in November of 2025. River has been fostered with 2 dogs and can meet others with slow introductions. River cannot live with cats, squirrels or birds- that’s to say that he can be movement driven. But he is working in impulse control and leash manners. He lived most of his life in a yard for exercise but has shown improvement with leash walks. River is very smart and likes to work his training sessions. He knows sit, down, wait, leave it and stay. We are working in place and touch. He is also great with scent games and find it. He’s sweet and snuggly and likes his stuffy and chew toys as wells as Slow feeders, snuffle mats and a baby pool full of balls. He may get the zoomies for a few minutes of play but he’s mostly low energy. He mostly just wants to be your companion. Radio, hairdryers, vacuums he could care less! River just wants HIS PERSON! Can that be you?

Hey HEY!! We are the Disney pups and we are READY for our FAIRYTALE ENDINGS!! You know.... the "ride into the sunset" kind of endings! That is where you come in! A few things about us first.... we are sweet and loving pups. We were born to a scared mama (Pyrenees) and her resident boyfriend , German Shepherd and we were loved on by an older couple who cared for us until their health took a turn ;( so the rescuers took us in and fattened us up and they LOVE US! But that is not enough for us :) We want it ALL! They call it the "dream package"- a home, a family and a ball gown with glass slippers too! Each one of us has been through the "tried and true" package and we passed with flying colors! So it is your turn to do the right thing and adopt one of us fairytale puppies!! We will be BIG adults and are all fluffy, so must have a hair plan :D Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area(
