Story
Meet Wynona, the gentle soul who is ready to turn your house into a home. If you’re looking for a companion who embodies the phrase "quiet, cute, and cuddly," look no further. Wynona is a master of the easygoing lifestyle; whether she’s enjoying a calm car ride or exploring a new neighborhood, she handles every adventure with a silent, steady confidence that is rare to find. A Natural at Home Life Wynona has an incredible knack for settling in. Upon arriving at her foster home, she immediately began exploring her surroundings with a curious but respectful sniff. She has already mastered the art of the leash, making her the perfect partner for crisp morning walks. Don’t worry about the winter chill—this hardy girl doesn’t mind the cold one bit! While she’s still learning the ropes of "playtime," she has recently discovered the joys of an antler chew and is showing a sophisticated interest in her new hobbies. Affectionate & Attentive The way to Wynona’s heart is through pets and scratches. She is a world-class snuggler who isn't afraid to advocate for her needs; if you stop the ear scratches a moment too soon, she’ll give you a tiny, endearing head butt or a gentle paw to remind you she’s still there. She is exceptionally polite when it comes to snacks, taking treats with a "gentle mouth" that makes her a joy to reward. The Quiet Companion In a world of noisy neighbors, Wynona is a breath of fresh air. She is remarkably quiet, only finding her voice for a brief moment if she hears a friend barking nearby. Because she is such a blank slate, she’s currently operating under the title of "Good Girl"—a name she responds to with wagging tails and soulful eyes. She is ready for a family who will give her a name of her own and a lifetime of the love she so clearly deserves.

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
**Courtesy Post** Ramona is about 8-10 years old Weighs 37lbs Husky mix  Fully vetted and hw-   Ramona was severely abused in her past and was emaciated when she came to me. She flinches when you move too fast and is always ready to be hit. She's gotten much better and doesn't jump every time she's touched anymore but we're still working on making her feel more comfortable.    She's the sweetest gal without an aggressive bone in her body. She tries to engage in play but she has 2 severely luxated patella's so she isn't incredibly stable. She takes gabapentin for her knees and that seems to make her feel a whole lot better! She likes other dogs but doesn't like them being rowdy in her face and who could blame her! The most she'll do is bark and walk away. She's learning to enjoy walks bones toys and a comfy place to sleep!    She struggled with digestive issues but after a round of steroids she seems to be doing 100% better! She takes probiotics and one serving of Metamucil per day plus she gets a tablespoons of pumpkin with both meals.    This girl is unbelievably sweet and deserves a calm home where she can continue her progress of being a dog.   To adopt Ramona please send an email to Nickiroy37@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 19, 2025, 3:20 pm

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 Amira — The Adventurous Husky Princess Ready for Her Happily Ever After 🌙 (Female • Husky • ~2 Years • ~45 lbs) After raising her beautiful litter with patience, love, and the kind of calm wisdom only a good momma possesses, Amira is officially ready for her chapter — the one where she gets to be the star, the sidekick, the adventure buddy, and the center of someone’s world. At around 2 years old and approximately 45 pounds, Amira is the perfect blend of sweet, friendly, and athletic. She’s got that classic Husky sparkle in her eyes — the one that says, “I love you… but also, I might try to outsmart your fence.” Yes, she’s an escape artist. A graceful, strategic, probably-should-have-her-own-action-movie escape artist. Because of her athleticism and creativity, she’ll thrive in a home that chooses leash walks or adventure outings over backyard alone time. Hiking? Jogging? Exploring? She’s all in. Checking the mail? She’ll come too. Now that her mom duties are done, she wants to be included in all the family goings-on. Amira is wonderful with kids and other dogs, and she carries a calm, reassuring energy — the kind that makes you feel like everything’s a little better when she’s nearby. Cats are still an unknown, but with her affectionate nature, slow and proper introductions could set her up for success. She’s playful, sweet, and deeply loyal. After pouring her heart into caring for her pups, she’s ready to receive that same love back — long walks, warm snuggles, silly moments, and a home that treats her like the amira (princess) she truly is. 🌟 Amira’s Stats: - Female Husky - Around 2 years old - ~45 lbs - Friendly, playful, athletic - Great with kids & other dogs - Cats: unknown - Escape artist — best with leash walks & secure handling - Active, outdoorsy homes are her dream match If you're searching for a stunning, spirited, affectionate dog who will adore being part of your adventures — Amira is ready to step into the spotlight and finally live the good life she deserves. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — and let Amira be part of every sunrise, every stroll, and every happy moment ahead. 🐾💙
