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.

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 Pixel – the Sweetest Soul with the Coolest Eyes in Texas! Pixel 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, Pixel 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! Pixel 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. Pixel 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, Pixel is ready to be your girl. Apply today and let this two-toned-eyed sweetheart see straight into your heart 💙🤎🐾

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 Huckleberry — Your Sweet, Silly, Adventure-Lovin’ Sidekick 🐾🍃 Male • 3 Years Old • ~45 lbs (working his way up to 55!) • Aussie Mix Some dogs come into your life loud and bold… and some, like Huckleberry Finn, quietly sneak into your heart and never leave. 💛 At around 3 years old, Huckleberry is that perfect mix of playful adventurer and gentle soul. He’s got an athletic side that loves to get out and explore, and a soft, sweet side that just wants to be close to his people (once he knows you’re his). Now, let’s get one thing out of the way… Yes, he could use a few extra groceries. 🍔 We’re working toward his ideal “fluffy but fit” weight of about 50-55 pounds — and honestly, he’s very on board with this plan, especially since it involves snacks. Huckleberry is incredibly dog friendly — truly happiest when he has a canine buddy by his side. He’ll need a home with another friendly pup where he can play, follow, nap, and share life with his built-in best friend. His favorite things include: • Playing with dog friends (top tier activity) • Splashing in the water like a happy goofball • Exploring the great outdoors • Accepting treats as a full-time profession When it comes to people, Huckleberry may be a little shy at first, but give him a moment, a soft voice, and definitely a snack, and you’ll see him blossom right before your eyes. Once he trusts you, his loyalty runs deep. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly walk beside you on life’s adventures — whether that’s hiking a trail, camping under the stars, or just enjoying a peaceful evening at home. And honestly? He’s just out here looking for his Tom Sawyer — his person, his partner, his best friend to share all of life’s little (and big) adventures with. Huckleberry isn’t just looking for a home — he’s looking for his person, his Tom. The one who will give him the time, love, and companionship he deserves… and in return, he’ll give you a lifetime of loyalty and quiet, heart-melting moments. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and be the Tom Sawyer to this sweet Huck's story. 🐾💛
