Currently in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS, Brody is ready to transport out of state once his forever family is approved. Brody is that rare, wonderful balance of being active enough to enjoy outdoor adventures and mellow enough to fully embrace a lazy day of Netflix and cuddles. Whether he’s chasing a toy in the backyard or melting into your side with his signature tongue-out smile, Brody is the definition of a lovable goofball. He doesn’t mind getting dressed up for holidays or themed events—he’s happy to strut in his rodeo best or festive costume, just as long as he’s doing it with his people. Brody has done best with friendly, laid-back female dogs and tends to prefer a more relaxed playmate. Because of his size and love for running, he may be a bit much for smaller or more timid dogs, but he’s also fully content being your one-and-only pup, as long as he has space to stretch his legs and get some zoomies out in the yard. A home with a secure backyard is ideal for him to enjoy some off-leash play. He’s a gentle sweetheart with people—always happy to meet new faces and has done well with the children he’s met. Because of his playful energy, we recommend a home with older, dog-savvy kids (8–10+) who are steady on their feet and understand how to respectfully interact with dogs. Brody would love nothing more than a buddy to play with, run around the yard, and then wind down with for snuggles. No cats for Brody, please, as he’s not quite sure how to share space with feline friends. When it comes to leash manners, Brody is a total gentleman. He walks calmly on a loose leash, stays close by, and enjoys a good stroll. He’s also fully housebroken and crate trained, and does wonderfully in his crate when left unsupervised, especially since he currently shares a home with other dogs. He loves his plush toys—especially giving their faces a little “customization” with his enthusiastic chomps! Brody is smart, food-motivated, and eager to please. He thrives in a home that offers structure, consistency, and encouragement. His foster mom has put in great work helping him polish his obedience skills, and he’s made huge progress! While he may still get a little excited around assertive male dogs, with calm guidance and continued positive experiences, he’s continued to show how well he can adapt. He would be a great match for someone with experience with Cattle Dogs, Pitbulls, or other intelligent working breeds. These dogs are deeply loyal, affectionate, and thrive when they have a purpose—whether that’s going on a hike, learning a new trick, or just being your loyal shadow. Brody doesn’t need a super active lifestyle, but he would love a couple of daily walks, light adventure time, and maybe a fun activity like scent work, agility, or basic obedience classes to keep his mind sharp and his bond with you strong. At the end of the day, Brody is a happy, affectionate, low-maintenance boy who’s easy to please. All he wants is a soft bed, a few toys, a cozy home, and someone to love him. He’s come so far during his time in foster care and is more than ready to start his next chapter with a family who sees how truly special he is. ___ ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

Poppy comes fully loaded with energy, affection, and a signature underbite that gives her a permanent “deep thoughts” expression. Her lip gets stuck on her teeth about 90% of the time, so she often looks like she’s seriously pondering the meaning of life…when really she’s just thinking about snacks. Poppy LOVES to play with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine buddy to romp around stealing...err sharing toys. Cats are currently a mystery, but knowing her easygoing nature, she just might surprise us.

Car ride? She’s calling shotgun before you even grab the keys. Windows down, ears flapping, living her best life—this girl was made for road trips and outdoor fun. Poppy would be perfect for an active person or family who enjoys walks, hikes, fetch, or just having a happy little shadow by their side. She’s great with other dogs and people of all ages, and she approaches life with a goofy, “let’s see what happens next!” attitude. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, goofy, loyal companion with a face and personality that will make you laugh every single day, Poppy is your girl. Just be prepared—once she moves in, she plans on stealing your heart, your couch spot, and possibly the front seat of your car.

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 Calling All Senior Dog Lovers and Hospice Heroes… Molly Needs You 💕 Meet Molly – an 11–12 year old, 73-pound (slightly overweight - ideal 60ish lbs) bundle of pure, gentle love who will look at you like she’s peering straight into your soul. Molly is the kind of dog who lives for her people. If you stop petting her, she’ll politely place a paw on your arm as a friendly reminder that your job isn’t finished yet. If that doesn’t work, she’ll gently nose your hand like, “Excuse me… more love, please.” She follows her humans from room to room, happy just to be near you. Wherever you are, that’s exactly where Molly wants to be. She’s wonderful with other dogs, especially smaller, mellow pals, and she’s also great with cats. She’s fully housebroken, not destructive in the house, and is truly an easy, low-maintenance girl. A perfect family dog… and the world’s worst watchdog. Seriously. Pet her once and you can have anything you want. Scratch her ears and she might even help you load it into the car. Molly still gets the happy dance when you come home, like it’s the best moment of her entire day. She’s a little hard of hearing now, but she can still pick up certain tones—and she has no problem hearing the sound of a treat bag magically opening from across the house. Like many older gals, Molly has a few lumps and bumps. Sadly, the vet believes the mass on her shoulder is likely cancerous. Because of her age and its location, surgery isn’t recommended. The kindest plan is to let her live out her remaining time comfortable, cherished, and completely spoiled – exactly what she deserves. Molly recently lost her beloved mom, and through no fault of her own, she also lost her home. Her family was heartbroken and wants nothing more than to see her spend her golden years safe and loved again. Despite all the changes, Molly has remained the same incredibly sweet, good-natured girl and has settled beautifully into foster care. She just misses having her very own person. All Molly asks for is simple: • gentle pets • maybe a treat or three • a soft cushy doggie bed - she doesn't get on the furniture • and someone to keep company She would be a perfect companion for a retiree or someone who works from home. She’s an excellent listener, a loyal shadow, and a professional attention hound. If you have a soft spot for senior dogs—or if you’ve ever thought about opening your heart to a hospice pup—Molly would be endlessly grateful to spend her days loving you back. Sometimes the best dogs need the gentlest landings. And Molly? She is one of the very best. Apply today at haydudeequine.org and spend your days being adored!!

Currently in a foster home in San Antonio, TEXAS, Mylo is ready to transport out of state once his forever family is approved and ready to fall in love. Let’s start with the obvious: Mylo has a perma-blep. That’s right—his tongue is just a little too long for his mouth, and it’s almost always peeking out like he’s mid-lick or permanently saying, “hi.” A vet has checked it out and confirmed there’s nothing wrong—he was just born with extra tongue and endless flavor to sample. It doesn’t cause him pain, but it does mean he occasionally needs a little extra hydration. He also has a slight protruding bone at the base of his rib cage—again, no cause for concern, just more proof that this boy was truly “born this way.” We like to say he’s one part goofball, one part model, and 100% original. Mylo is an affectionate, silly, and curious guy who loves to play and explore. He has a bit of that classic Cattle Dog energy—he thrives with daily activity, enjoys long walks, and loves a good romp in the yard. He plays well with dogs of all sizes and currently lives in a multi-dog home with pups ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to an 80-pound Boxer mix. He does well reading other dogs’ social cues and adjusts his play accordingly. He’s also very vocal when he plays or gets excited—growling, grunting, and making silly noises are just part of his charm. Once you get to know him, you’ll realize it’s just his voice, not a sign of anything aggressive. He enjoys meeting new dogs on walks, though he might sound a little intense at first—again, that vocal streak—but he’s friendly and well-mannered. He’s shown some interest in chasing cats, so to be safe, a feline-free home is best. Mylo has met children of various ages through his foster family and has done well overall. Due to his occasional jumping and enthusiasm, we recommend a home with older kids (10+) who are steady on their feet and understand how to interact with an active dog. He’s loving and playful, and with continued positive training, will only improve his manners. This boy LOVES walks and has a zest for getting out and about. He can pull on leash when excited, so a no-pull harness or Gentle Leader may help make walks more enjoyable. He’s fully house trained and has been trusted to stay loose when unsupervised, usually sticking to his gated area and dog bed like a gentleman. While he hasn’t been crated in his foster home, he’s done very well with the freedom and would likely thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not, or with a flexible schedule. Mylo is currently fed separately from the other dogs—not because he’s aggressive, but because he prefers not to share his snacks or special treats. (Honestly, who among us does?) With his people, though, he’s playful, cuddly, and incredibly affectionate. He greets his foster dad with enthusiastic hops and playful vocalizations, looking like the happiest dog in the world—with his tongue hanging out and his tail wagging in full swing. He’s also very smart and responsive to redirection. He listens when called, loves being praised, and wants so badly to be a good boy. Like many herding breeds, he thrives on routine and benefits from clear communication and a bit of structure. He may occasionally flinch at quick movements or new objects (like a broom), so a patient home that understands his background and lets him settle in at his own pace will help him feel his best. Here’s what Mylo is hoping for in his forever home: - A moderately active family with a yard or access to one where he can run, sniff, and sunbathe - A few good walks a day or fetch sessions to burn energy and keep him happy - A family who will give him tons of love, belly rubs, and attention - People who embrace his quirky personality and celebrate his uniqueness - Continued support with basic manners like jumping and treat-taking (he’s already working on it!) - A home with older kids (10+) and maybe a friendly dog buddy or two - And most importantly: a soft place to land and be loved for exactly who he is Mylo is a one-of-a-kind pup with a silly smile, a loyal heart, and so much love to give. He’s smart, affectionate, endlessly goofy, and ready to find a family who sees his magic. If you’re looking for a lovable sidekick who will keep you laughing, snuggling, and moving, Mylo might be the perfect match for you. ___ **Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

Holmes is a nice dog, but can be a lot. He does not get along with his brother Watson, who we got at the same time which was a mistake since they now have litter mate syndrome. He’ll be 7 in August. They fight here & there, Holmes tends to be the aggressor. This decision did not come easy, but we had a baby in August so we can’t have them fighting around him.
