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 💙🤎🐾

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 Emma — Ranch-Raised & Ready for Her Next Assignment! 🐾🌾 2 Years Old • ~70 lbs • Australian Shepherd / Border Collie Mix Emma is a 70-pound bundle of loyalty, brains, and heart — with a résumé that includes “Professional Goat Wrangler” and “Cattle Operations Manager.” This gorgeous 2-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix grew up on a ranch helping round up goats and cattle like a seasoned pro. She understands responsibility. She understands teamwork. She understands that somebody has to keep things moving in the right direction — and she is more than happy to volunteer. Through no fault of her own, Emma was surrendered in a small town and sat patiently at the pound for months. Just waiting. Watching other dogs leave. Hoping her turn would come. And we made sure it did — because a girl this special and with this much heart deserves more than a kennel and a concrete floor. Emma is incredibly sweet and walks beautifully on a leash. She’s attentive, smart, and very tuned in to her people. She would absolutely thrive on a ranch or property where she can help with chores, check fences, or supervise livestock. But if your “ranch” is more backyard than back forty? That’s okay too. She’ll happily help you: • Corralling wind blown leaves • Patrol for suspicious squirrels • Keep an eye on the kids • Inspect groceries as they’re brought in Now, since Emma was primarily a working ranch dog, we can’t say for certain how much indoor living she’s had or whether she’s fully housebroken. But here’s the thing about Emma — she is incredibly smart. If she needs to learn house rules, it won’t take long at all. Herding dogs don’t just learn fast… they practically pre-install the software themselves. Give her a little guidance and she’ll have it figured out in no time. Emma would love: • A job or daily purpose • Regular exercise and mental stimulation • A home that appreciates a working-minded dog • A family who values loyalty and intelligence She’s not just looking for a couch (though she won’t turn one down after a long day). She’s looking for connection. Purpose. A person or family to devote herself to. Emma has the heart of a worker and the soul of a loyal companion. She’s ready to trade the uncertainty of the past few months for stability, routine, and a forever home where she’s cherished. If you’re looking for a smart, steady, ranch-ready best friend who will work hard, love deeply, and maybe gently herd you toward the kitchen at dinner time, Emma is ready to clock in for life. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give this hardworking girl the future she’s been patiently waiting for 💛🐾

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 Jesse James – The Outlaw of No Boredom Here! 3 years old • 40 lbs • Border Collie Mix Extraordinaire This is Jesse James, and no — he won’t steal your money… but he WILL absolutely steal your heart, your couch spot, and possibly one sock when you’re not looking. Jesse is a 3-year-old, 40-pound bundle of brains, enthusiasm, and nonstop “whatcha doing and can I help?” energy. True to his Border Collie roots, this boy is SMART with a capital S. His mind is always working, his tail is always wagging, and he is always ready for the next mission. Need a hiking buddy? He volunteers. Need a running partner? He already tied his shoes. Need someone to supervise yard work, car rides, or snack-making? Jesse has clocked in and is on duty. He loves people, loves being involved, and believes personal space is optional when you’re part of the family. If you’re looking for a dog to quietly nap in the corner all day… Jesse respectfully declines that job offer. This handsome guy walks nicely on leash, learns quickly, and absolutely thrives when he has structure and something to do. Training? Games? Adventures? He’s in. He’d be amazing for an active person or family who understands that a tired Border Collie is a happy Border Collie. Jesse does great with other dogs and older kids who appreciate his enthusiastic, wiggly, sometimes goofy personality. Cats are currently a mystery — but knowing Jesse, he’d probably try to organize them into a committee. His ideal home? One that enjoys exercise, laughter, activity, and a dog who thinks life is meant to be FUN. A bored Jesse is a mischievous Jesse — but a busy Jesse is the happiest, most loyal best friend you could ask for. If you’re ready for a clever, affectionate, full-of-life sidekick who will keep you moving, smiling, and slightly entertained at all times, Jesse James is ready to ride off into the sunset with you. Apply today at haydudeequine.org — before this lovable bandit steals someone else’s heart!
