Story
Miss Dorothy and her three "Golden Girl" sisters were found running stray in the middle of no where. They all have docked tails and we believe they are mostly Mini Australian Shepherd. No one claimed them and they were pretty skinny and scared. They are coming out of their shells. Miss Dorothy likes to tell everyone what is happening.. The ladies are around 10 months old and would love a home to call their own. We suggest no young kiddos under 10 years for these ladies. ##2859682##

Story
**Courtesy Post ** Chevy is a 40lb Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. She loves playing fetch and catching the frisbee. She loves everyone she meets. She would do very well in a no kid household. She could also do well in a household with another dog, but doesn’t know sharing is caring so she just needs to learn how to share her toys. She is kennel trained (prefers to sleep in her kennel at night), housebroken, knows to sit, lay, paw/shake, leave it, and has been working on release. She does well going out into public settings and LOVES going to Home Depot. She's a plant girl. She loves swimming and playing in the water. She is high energy and needs a fenced in yard that she can run in. If you are interested in adopting Chevy or have any questions, please email aashleypickett@gmail.com Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 2, 2026, 7:44 pm

Story
PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org Hi there! I’m Sage, and I’m looking for a family to call my own! My story started with a pretty heartbreaking chapter. My mama’s owner passed away, leaving her and all of us puppies behind. Thankfully, we’re getting our chance at a fresh start, and now I’m ready to find the family I’ve been waiting for. ❤️ As for my breed, we’re thinking Catahoula x Australian Shepherd x Blue Heeler… but we have absolutely no idea who Dad was. He could’ve been any of the above, all of the above, or the neighborhood mailman’s dog for all we know! 😂 One thing’s for sure: with those possible genetics, I may come with a little extra brains, energy, and personality! I’m a social, outgoing, smart little pup who’s ready to take on the world. I love interacting with people, exploring new things, and being part of the action. I’m not the kind of puppy who’s going to be happy just looking cute on the couch all day (although I will absolutely excel at that part, too). I’ll need an active home that understands working and herding breeds and the importance of mental stimulation. Think walks, adventures, training, puzzle toys, games, and activities that give my clever little brain a job. Otherwise, I might decide that reorganizing your furniture, redesigning your landscaping, or teaching myself how to open the pantry sounds like a perfectly reasonable hobby. 😉 Mama weighs around 55 pounds, so I will grow up to be a medium sized dog! The good news? All that intelligence and enthusiasm means I could be an incredible companion for someone who enjoys teaching a dog new things and including their four-legged sidekick in everyday life. I have so much potential, and with the right family, I’m going to shine! If you’re looking for a smart, social, adventurous best friend who can keep you on your toes and make you laugh every single day, I might just be your Sage advice. 🌿💚 Apply to adopt me at haydudeequine.org. I can’t wait to find my people! Love, Sage 🌿🐶

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. 🐾 Meet Desiree! Your Shadow, Sidekick & Adventure Buddy All Rolled Into One! 🐾 2 years old | 30 lbs | Mini Aussie x Border Collie If you're looking for a dog who thinks personal space is overrated and being your best friend is a full-time job, Desiree would like to submit her application! ❤️ This gorgeous girl is a Mini Australian Shepherd x Border Collie mix, which means she's got brains, beauty, and enough personality to keep life interesting. She's a total people-lover, gets along great with other dogs, and is happiest when she's right by her person's side. Seriously, if you get up, she's getting up. If you go somewhere, she's going too. Bathroom privacy? She doesn't really understand the concept. 😂 Desiree is an active, high-drive girl who loves car rides, walks, adventures, and basically anything that involves spending time with her favorite human. She's incredibly smart and eager to engage, so she'll thrive with a family who enjoys keeping both her mind and body busy. Think walks, training, games, activities, and plenty of opportunities to show off that brilliant little brain! Because of her high drive and herding-breed instincts, a home without cats would likely be the best fit. Desiree isn't looking for a family who will simply admire her from across the room. She wants to be INCLUDED in the fun, involved in your daily life, and right there beside you through it all. If you want a loyal, clever, adventurous best friend who will happily be your little shadow, Desiree is ready to clock in for duty! Apply to adopt this sweet girl at haydudeequine.org! ❤️

Story
PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org Hi there! I’m Rio, and I’m looking for a safe place to land and a person who will show me just how wonderful life can be. ❤️🐾 My story is a little heartbreaking. My owner passed away, leaving me behind with my six puppies. Thankfully, some kind neighbors stepped up to care for us until Hay Dude Rescue could take us in. I’ve spent my time being a mama, looking out for my babies, and doing my best to survive. Now it’s finally MY turn to be taken care of. I’m about 2 years old and weigh around 55 pounds, which makes me a perfectly sized companion for someone looking for a medium-sized best friend. I’m a beautiful girl with a heart of gold, but I’ll be honest with you: I’m a little shy when meeting new people. I’ve spent time as a street dog, and when you’re trying to survive and protect six little puppies, you learn to be cautious about the world around you. I’m not an aggressive girl; I just need a little time to figure out that you’re one of the good ones. I do best when people let me approach at my own pace instead of expecting me to be best friends five seconds after meeting. Give me patience, kindness, and a little understanding, and you’ll start to see the real Rio emerge. ❤️ And let me tell you, once I get comfortable? I’m actually pretty funny! I have a silly side that comes out when I feel safe, and it’s such a joy to watch my personality blossom. I’ve been busy being a responsible mama for so long that I’m ready to discover what it’s like to just be a dog and enjoy life. No more worrying about raising six kids or keeping everyone in line. I’ve officially earned my retirement from motherhood! My dream home would be a calm, quieter household with people who understand that trust takes time. I could do well with respectful children who understand how to be gentle and give me space, but a home full of constant chaos, loud noises, and tiny humans acting like unsupervised hooligans probably isn’t my cup of tea. 😂 I just want a peaceful place where I can relax and learn that the world isn't such a scary place after all. Oh, and a bonus for my future family: I ride really well in the car! So once we’ve built that trust, I’ll be ready to accompany you on adventures, errands, or a good old-fashioned drive with the windows down. I know I may not be the dog who runs up to every stranger demanding attention, but please don't overlook me because I need a little extra time. There is a very sweet, funny, loving girl underneath that shy exterior, and I have so much love to give the person who earns my trust. I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve done a wonderful job taking care of my puppies. Now I’m hoping someone will take care of me. Could that someone be you? Apply to adopt me at haydudeequine.org. I’m ready for a softer chapter, a safe home, and a family who will love me for exactly who I am. ❤️ Love, Rio 🐾💕
