Story
PRUE IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!     Meet Prue!  At just 4 months old and 20 pounds, Prue is the perfect medium-sized companion with an even bigger heart. This beautiful tri color girl has soulful brown eyes, adorable semi erect/floppy ears, and a sweet smile that will melt you the moment you meet her. Her mom is a Border Collie and her dad is an Australian Shepherd giving her the perfect blend of intelligence, athleticism, and loyalty.   Prue is a fun, energetic girl who’s looking for land to explore and a home ready for a little adventure. Prue is a quick learner who genuinely enjoys working with her human. She’s had exposure to Deb Jones’ Raising a Performance Puppy class and has had a blast exploring the foundations of several dog sports, including disc dog, agility flatwork, herding, barn hunt, and scent work.   Prue is truly the best of both worlds. She's happy to curl up beside you for a quiet evening when it's time to relax, but she's always ready for an adventure when it's time to play. She enjoys playing with toys, and has a great time romping with other dogs.    This sweet girl is spayed, microchipped, crate trained, house trained, and up-to-date on all vaccinations and preventatives. She's good with kids, cats, and other dogs, and she isn't bothered by rain, thunderstorms, or loud noises. Prue is generally a quiet girl.   If you're looking for a loyal best friend who's affectionate, well-mannered, playful, and ready to be part of every family adventure, Prue is waiting to meet you. She's already the perfect dog—now she just needs the perfect family to love her forever.    Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Prue up north to her new family. You can apply to adopt her today!     If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Prue here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 15, 2026, 8:46 am

Story
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 Dixie! Well, howdy there, y'all! I'm Dixie, and I'm looking for my very own forever family! My story started with a heartbreaking chapter. My human passed away, leaving my mama and all six of us puppies behind. Thankfully, we got our chance at a fresh start, and now I'm ready to find the family I've been waiting for. We think I'm an Australian Shepherd x Cattle Dog mix, which means I may have inherited some serious smarts along with my good looks. And speaking of looks — have you noticed my eyes? I've got one of those gorgeous blue-eyed looks that makes people stop scrolling and say, "Well, would you look at HER!" I reckon I was born knowing how to work the camera! I'm the largest girl in my litter, but I'm also a little more laid-back than some of my siblings. While they're busy auditioning for the Puppy Olympics, I'm perfectly happy taking things at a slightly more relaxed pace. Don't get me wrong — I'm still a puppy with plenty to learn and lots of growing to do, but I may be the perfect balance of playful and chill. Someone's got to keep this bunch grounded, right? Mama weighs around 55 pounds, and I'm expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. That means I'll be a great size for adventures, family outings, and finding my favorite spot on the couch. I'm not planning to take up the ENTIRE couch, although I reserve the right to change my mind once I discover how comfy it is! With my possible Aussie and Cattle Dog heritage, I'm likely to be a smart girl who enjoys learning new things. I'll need a family willing to help me with training, exercise, and mental stimulation as I grow. Walks, games, adventures, and learning tricks will help me become the very best version of myself. A clever girl needs a little something to keep her brain busy, after all! But what I really want is a family to call my own: someone to love me, help me learn about the world, and include me in all the little everyday things that make life special. Whether we're heading out on an adventure or spending a quiet evening at home, I'm ready to be your loyal little sidekick. So, if you're looking for a beautiful blue-eyed cowgirl with brains, a sweet puppy spirit, and a slightly more relaxed approach to life, I might just be your Dixie! Apply to adopt me at haydudeequine.org. I'm ready to trade my uncertain beginnings for a lifetime of love, adventures, and a family who thinks I'm just as special as I think they are. Love, Dixie

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 Buck! Well, howdy there! Name's Buck, and I'm looking for my very own forever family! 🤠❤️ I'm a 4-month-old, 20-pound bundle of sweetness, adventure, and puppy shenanigans. I'm thinking I'm a Blue Heeler x Australian Shepherd mix, which means I might have inherited some serious brains along with my good looks. Mama weighs about 55 pounds, so I'm expected to grow into a medium-sized fella. Basically, I'm going to be the perfect size for adventures, snuggles, and taking up just a liiiiittle more room on the couch than you planned. 😉 My story started with a sad chapter. My human passed away, leaving my mama and all six of us puppies behind. Thankfully, we got our chance at a fresh start, and now I'm ready to find the family who will love me for the rest of my life. ❤️ Now, if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm a SUPER sweet and social guy! I love meeting people, making friends, and being part of whatever fun is happening. I haven't met many things I didn't want to investigate, especially if they involve attention, adventures, or snacks. I believe life is better when you share it with friends, and I'm planning to make my future family my very best friends! And WATER? Oh, buddy. Don't even get me started! 💦 If there's a puddle to splash in, a creek to explore, or a chance to get my paws wet, count me IN. I'm a little water-loving cowboy, and I suspect my future family will want to keep a towel handy. You're welcome for the extra laundry! With my possible Heeler and Aussie heritage, I'm likely to grow into a smart, active companion who will enjoy learning new things. I'll need a family ready to help me with puppy training, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Walks, games, adventures, and learning new tricks will help me grow into the best boy I can be. After all, a clever cowboy needs a job — or at least a puzzle toy to keep him from inventing his own! 😉😂 The good news is that I come with a whole lot of love packed into this growing body. I'm sweet, outgoing, and ready to take on the world with my people by my side. Whether we're exploring the great outdoors, splashing around in the water, or just hanging out at home, I'm hoping to be your loyal sidekick through it all. So, if you're looking for a handsome young buck with a sweet personality, an adventurous spirit, and a serious appreciation for all things wet and wonderful, I might just be your guy! Apply to adopt me at haydudeequine.org. I'm ready to trade my uncertain beginnings for a lifetime of love, adventures, and belly rubs. ❤️ Love, Buck 🤠🐾

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 Cheyenne! Howdy, y’all! I’m Cheyenne, and I’m looking for my very own forever family! 🤠❤️ I’m a 4-month-old Australian Shepherd x Cattle Dog mix, which means I come with a whole lot of brains, a whole lot of personality, and enough adventurous spirit to keep life interesting! I’m also sporting a pretty special marking on my forehead… a big ol’ Y! I guess the universe wanted to make sure everyone knew to ask, “Y wouldn’t you adopt me?” 😂 I’m a super sweet, outgoing girl who thinks the world is one big adventure just waiting to happen. New places? Let’s go! New people? Let’s be friends! Water? OH, HECK YES! 💦 If there’s a puddle, pond, creek, or any other opportunity to get my paws wet, you can bet I’ll be investigating it. I’m basically a tiny explorer with a built-in water attraction system. Now, let’s talk brains. With Australian Shepherd and Cattle Dog in my family tree, I’m a pretty smart cookie. I love learning and figuring things out, so I’ll need a family who can keep my clever little mind busy. Training, puzzle toys, adventures, games, and plenty of opportunities to learn new things will help me grow into the best girl I can be. Fair warning: smart puppies can be a little TOO good at coming up with their own entertainment. If you don’t give me a job, I might just invent one. And I can’t promise that my ideas will always align with your interior decorating preferences! 😉😂 I’ll grow into a medium-sized dog, making me a great adventure buddy for someone who wants a fun, active companion. I’d love a family who enjoys getting outside, exploring, teaching me new things, and including me in everyday life. I’m still a puppy, so I’ll need all the usual things: patience, consistency, training, and lots of love as I learn how to be a well-mannered member of the family. But underneath all that energy and intelligence is one very sweet girl who wants to love her people with her whole heart. I’ve got the looks, the brains, the adventurous spirit, and a forehead marking that makes me pretty hard to forget. All I need now is YOU! So, if you’re looking for a smart, sweet, water-loving sidekick who’s always ready to say “Y not?” to a new adventure, I might just be your girl! 🌵💦❤️ Love, Cheyenne 🤠🐾
