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 Dante — The Dashing Adventurer With a Heart of Gold 🔥🐾 (Australian Shepherd • 2 Years • ~45 lbs • Professional Good Boy) If you’ve been wishing for a four-legged best friend who can keep up with all your adventures — from weekday daily to weekend chaos — allow us to introduce Dante, the Australian Shepherd whose life goal is to be included in absolutely everything you do. Yes, everything. If you’re going, he’s going. If you’re sitting, he’s sitting. If you’re eating… well, he’s respectfully observing with hopeful eyes. At 2 years old and around 45 pounds, Dante is the perfect-sized partner in crime. He’s sweet-natured, active, playful, and handsome enough to make your neighbors ask, “Wow, where’d you get that dog?” (We approve of you bragging about him.) He’s good with dogs, great with kids, and even gets along with cats — which is impressive given that many Aussies consider cats to be mysterious, poorly timed flock members. Dante says, “No worries, mate. We’re cool.” He was previously heartworm positive, but he has completed treatment like the brave champ he is and is now cleared and ready for his forever home. Fully vetted, neutered, and house trained — this boy is as turn-key as they come. A couple things you should know: • Dante is barky. Not “I’m yelling at every leaf,” but definitely “I have opinions and I would like to share them.” • Because of that, apartment life = big nope. • Outdoorsy, active families = HUGE YES. He wants adventures! Hikes! Road trips! Splash zones! Life! Dante would thrive with a family who will include him in the everyday moments and the big fun ones — from coffee runs and yard projects to camping trips and long scenic walks. He’s happiest when he’s part of the action, right by your side. He is currently with a neighboring rescue partner — we work together to save as many lives as we can — and we will happily pull him into Hay Dude Rescue to complete his adoption. If you're looking for a best friend who brings joy, energy, loyalty, and a sprinkle of Aussie spice, Dante is your guy. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Dante’s next adventure starts with YOU! 🐶✨

Story
This uniquely gorgeous, chocolate tiger striped angel is Clovis! This snuggly beauty came into rescue at only a few days old when her mama and siblings were abandoned. Her mom is a purebred chocolate bicolor mini Aussie and the whole little family was swooped up by an amazing foster home who immediately welcomed them and raised them with love! Clovis is now a 12 week old angel! She’s been vetted all along for age appropriate vet care and now she has had all medical work completed! She’s current on her vaccines, deworming, preventative and she’s microchip, and spayed! She’s a healthy little darling and is officially ready to find her forever home! This girl has been in a warm loving foster home since the very beginning where she’s had endless snuggling, kisses, food and love! Her mama was a wonderful, doting mama to her (and her mom has since found a great home!). Clovis has been raised socialized with not only her siblings but also playing with other pups, socialized with cats, playing around in the water, taking walks, car rides, and playing with the kids in the neighborhood! She’s going great with her house training and is overall such a wonderful puppy. She has a wonderfully balanced temperament, ready to join you on any activity a whether it’s a fun hike in the woods or a snuggly cozy movie night. Shes medium activity, social butterfly, intelligent and amazingly gorgeous! The sky is the limit for this incredible girl and she can’t wait to find true love! If she’s stolen your heart and you’d love to make her yours, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

Story
Introducing Zeke, a truly remarkable pup whose heartwarming spirit and playful energy are ready to light up a new home. Zeke is a handsome, resilient boy who, through no fault of his own, found himself searching for a new home. He's more than ready to embark on his next chapter, seeking a loving, forever family to call his own. Zeke is a bundle of joyful energy, known for his silliness and ability to bring a smile to anyone's face. While he may start off shy, it doesn't take long for his true personality to shine through. He quickly becomes an enthusiastic playmate who thrives on the company of other dogs and will gleefully encourage them to play. Zeke is a smart and well-mannered companion. He is potty-trained and comfortable in his crate. He also knows basic commands like "sit" and "go to your room," and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to train further. While he’s working on managing his excitement (which sometimes results in enthusiastic leaps!), his good intentions are always clear. Walks are a highlight of his day, offering him a chance to explore and burn off some of that youthful energy. His barks will let you know precisely when he needs to go outside or when he hears you approaching the door. If you’re seeking an active, affectionate, and charming dog who promises boundless love and entertainment, Zeke could be the perfect addition to your home. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
I am a truck driver looking for homes for my 5 3 1/2 month old puppies. I lost my significant other, who passed unexpectedly, the same time the pups were born, and with the pups although we travel and they have fun, we are only home a few days a month. I want them to have the experience of having a home life. I want adopters who will never raise a hand to them or hurt them, and who are committed to keeping them until they reach their very last day. They are smart, love to be hugged and held, and have begun learning the wee wee. They eat mostly people food -- boiled beef liver is their favorite. Please, no brokers, middlemen, etc. These pets are great companions and just want to be loved. They have been traveling with me in the trucks now for about a month. They are happy but I want something better for them. Please, serious inquiries only, and no solicitations.
