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 Rosa – the Sweetest Soul with the Coolest Eyes in Texas! Rosa is a 2-year-old, 42-lb Australian Shepherd/Kelpie mix with a uniquely colored coat that makes her as beautiful outside as she is inside! She’s gentle, easygoing, and about as drama-free as they come. If dogs had a “Most Likely to Be Everyone’s Favorite” award, Rosa would win it paws down. This lovely girl gets along beautifully with just about everyone—people, dogs, kids, new situations—you name it. She’s calm, confident, and refreshingly mellow for an Aussie mix. Think less “whirling devilish herding machine” and more “professional couch companion with occasional zoomies.” And let’s talk about those eyes! Rosa has one stunning blue eye and one soulful brown eye. According to urban legend, that means she can see things in heaven and on earth at the same time. Pretty cool superpower, right? Basically, she’s part dog, part magical guardian angel. Rosa also comes fully loaded with excellent house manners: • Crate trained ✔ • Housebroken with a dog door ✔ • Walks beautifully on leash ✔ • Polite, well-behaved house guest ✔ • Expert at giving soft, grateful looks ✔ She enjoys relaxed strolls, cozy naps, and being near her people. She’s the kind of dog who fits seamlessly into your life like she’s always been there. Now, cats are a hard no, sorry cat lovers, she’s not a fan (she believes they are tiny, suspicious aliens), so a feline-free home is a must. But with dogs and humans? She’s an absolute dream. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, go-with-the-flow companion who will make every day brighter just by existing in it, Rosa is ready to be your girl. Apply today and let this two-toned-eyed sweetheart see straight into your heart 💙🤎🐾

Blu is a 1.5-year-old bundle of joy with a whole lot of love to give. He’s super affectionate and thrives on attention, always ready to lean in for pets or show off his goofy side. Playtime is one of his favorite things, and his happy, playful energy is contagious. Blu *loves* food (obviously) and is friendly, good-natured, and easy to be around. He also walks well, making him a great companion for strolls or adventures. We’re still getting to know Blu, but so far he’s showing himself to be a sweet, fun-loving dog who would make a wonderful addition to a lucky home. 🐾

Story

Jax is a 4 year old Australian Sheppard and gorgeous to boot. He was an owner surrender being no fault of his own. Jax is high energy and his owner did not think they could give Jax what he needed to become a better dog. Jax does great with other dogs (presides in a house with 2 other dogs). He does very well with the neighboring children and also lived with children in his previous home. Jax has alot of energy. He does great in the backyard with fetching and running around with my other foster dog. He also thinks he is the Tug of War champ of the house and would bring the rope to you to try and prove it. He is crate trained and potty trained (will tell me when he wants to go outside). He is a smart dog that does need some more training He does know simple commands like sit, paw, and lay. But he does lose focus when a treat is involved. Jax has been a great dog for me and will definitely be a great dog for his future owner. If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Jax’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.
