Story
Hey there! I’m Nila, a sweet little Australian Cattle Dog, on a mission to find my forever person.I may not trust everyone right away, but I promise, once I pick you, I’m all in. I’ll be your shadow, your loyal sidekick, and your biggest fan. I just need a little help with that whole “trusting others” thing, especially when they come close to my person. I love my human so much, sometimes I forget to share the love—I'm working on that, though!I'm looking for someone experienced who can show me that there’s plenty of love and attention to go around. With a little guidance, I know I’ll learn to be more comfortable with visitors and share the love, but I’m also the kind of dog who loves quality time with the person I choose.As for the rest of the crew? I’m great with other dogs, big or small!  I attend doggie daycare twice a week & LOVE it.  Cats? Totally cool with them, too. If you’re into walks, jogs, or runs, I’d make a fantastic partner. I walk nicely on a leash, and I’m a top-tier car passenger, ready for any adventure.I’d do best in a home with older kids, as I like a calm vibe and need a little space to adjust when I meet new faces.So, if you’re looking for a fun, energetic, and loving companion who’s a little shy at first but ready to bond deeply once I know you’re the one—then I might just be the perfect match!Let’s start this adventure together!

Story
My name is Rapids and as my name suggests, there`s a challenging course ahead. I was found as a stray at the Dells of Eau Claire park and something inside of me broke that day; going through life knowing that the ones you love can leave you isn`t an easy pill to swallow and I`ve found it hard to trust and give my heart freely ever since. The next humans to love me will have to be patient, tolerant and in this for the long haul; seriously, if you don`t see forever in our future than keep moving. I would do best in a home with other dogs my size or larger, no small children and with an active lifestyle to keep my mind and my body happy.

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 Glacier — Your Loyal Adventure Buddy with a Heart of Gold 🌊💙 (11 Months • 50 lbs • Male • Professional Best Friend) Some dogs are fun. Some dogs are sweet. And then there’s Glacier — the kind of dog who makes you stop and think, “How has he been waiting this long?” At just 11 months old and 50 pounds, Glacier is that magical in-between size: big enough for real adventures, small enough to fit perfectly into your life (and your lap… he tries). He’s playful without being wild, affectionate without being clingy, and calm enough to settle in for end-of-day snuggles like a total pro. 🐾 Glacier’s Greatest Hits: • Fantastic with other dogs — friendly, respectful, and social • Walks beautifully on or off leash, always checking in and staying close to his person • Loves the water — rivers, splashes, wading like a happy little otter • Playful during the day, snuggly and chill at night (the best combo) • Deeply affectionate — the kind that leans into you like you’re his safe place His favorite walks at the ranch? Heading down to the river, where he can explore, splash, and soak up life at his own peaceful pace. Glacier doesn’t need chaos to be happy — he just wants his person, a little adventure, and a lot of love. What really tugs at the heartstrings is that Glacier has spent far too much of his puppyhood in rescue. While he’s stayed gentle, trusting, and joyful, it’s time he finally gets to know what it means to belong — a couch that’s his, people who are his, and a life that’s more than just waiting. He would be an absolute dream for an outdoorsy person or family — someone who loves walks, nature, water, and coming home to a dog who’s equally excited to cuddle up and call it a day. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will walk beside you, splash beside you, and snuggle beside you — always staying close… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Glacier is more than ready to be someone’s forever. 🐾💙

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 Artic — A Gentle Soul with Adventure in His Heart ❄️🤍 (11 Months • ~50 lbs • Male • Full-Time Best Boy) If loyalty had a face (and four paws), it would look a lot like Artic. This handsome 11-month-old, 50-pound sweetheart is the kind of dog who doesn’t just walk with you — he walks for you, always checking in, always nearby, always quietly making sure his person is okay. Artic is wonderfully balanced: playful when it’s time to have fun, calm and affectionate when the day winds down. He’s the dog who will happily explore the outdoors with you and then curl up close afterward like, “We did good today.” 🐾 Why Everyone Falls for Artic: • Excellent with other dogs — friendly, easygoing, and social • Walks beautifully on or off leash, naturally staying close (no wandering, no drama) • Loves the water — splashing, wading, and cooling off like a true nature pup • Affectionate and gentle, with a calm presence that just feels good to be around • Playful without being overwhelming, snuggly without being needy At the ranch, Artic’s favorite walks are the ones that head toward the river — where the pace slows, the water sparkles, and he gets to just be a happy dog. He’s not loud about his love, but it runs deep, and once you’re his person, you’re his whole world. Like his brother, Artic has spent far too much of his puppyhood in rescue, waiting patiently while life passed by. Despite that, he’s remained trusting, sweet, and hopeful — and now it’s time for him to finally experience the joy of a family, a home, and a forever spot on the couch. Artic would thrive with an outdoorsy person or family who values companionship, quiet loyalty, and shared adventures followed by cozy evenings in. If you’re looking for a dog who will choose you every single day — without hesitation… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Artic is ready to go home. 🐾❄️
