Story
Here's Max, He's about 6 yrs old and 65lbs House and crate trained, potty trained as well. Australian shepherd/German Shepard/lab/pointer mix Taller but not quite the size of anything he's mixed with. Very excited about new people but good with everyone he meets. Also good with kids, loved his family's new baby and nephew Plays great with other dogs, plays tug of war with them as well as fetch and tug with us. Currently in a house full of cats/kittens, he's very interested and wants to play and be their friend, even if they might not feel the same lol Never tried to jump the 5ft fence, even though he is very athletic and energetic. He'll also give you plenty of love and cuddles at the end of a long day. Apply www.4paws4rescue.comAugust 29, 2025, 8:53 am

Story
Dharma is a sweet 11-week-old male Aussie/Shepherd mix.  He is a fun-loving puppy who enjoys playing with his sibling and exploring the back yard.  Dharma is doing very well with his crate training and is working hard on his potty training.  He is a pro and going up and down carpeted stairs. He loves attention from his humans but is content to play with toys.  He's even been known to play fetch with his favorite toy.  Dharma is treat motivated so he should be easy to train.  He is picking up commands such as sit, come & of course learning what no means.   He has been neutered, microchipped and has had 2 rounds of vaccinations.   H e will make someone a great addition to their family.   If interested, please  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. Our $295 adoption fee 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.

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 haydududeequine.org Meet Ellie — Your Holiday Helper, Professional Hug Collector & Seasonal Hall Monitor! Ellie is a 4-year-old, 27-pound Mini Aussie who brings the perfect mix of brains, beauty, and festive flair. Think of her as your own personal holiday elf… if elves had herding instincts sharper than Santa’s sleigh runners. This clever girl is house and crate trained, rides like a champ in the car, and is always ready for a peppermint mocha run (don’t worry, she’ll stick to pup cups). She’s great with other dogs and absolutely adores her people — especially if they come bearing treats, belly rubs, or compliments about her fabulous coat. Speaking of that coat: Ellie will stand patiently for grooming like she’s at a Christmas spa day. A little brushing? A little pampering? A little “you’re so pretty, Ellie”? She is HERE for it. Now, a quick note about kids: Ellie takes holiday “peace and order” very seriously. Small children may find themselves gently herded back into formation — so she’s best suited for a home with adults or older kids who appreciate her commitment to organization. Think of her as your festive floor manager. Cats? TBD. But knowing Ellie, she’d at least try to offer them some seasonal guidance. Ellie is loyal, funny, affectionate, and ready to jingle all the way through life with her new family. Whether it’s winter walks, cozy nights by the fire, or supervising gift wrapping, she’s your girl. Ellie’s Highlights: - 4 years old, 27 lbs of Aussie adorableness - House & crate trained - Great with other dogs - Expert co-pilot for ANY road trips - Loves attention, grooming sessions, and anyone who appreciates her sparkle - Professional human-herder (older kids or adults preferred) Looking for a little magic this season and a whole lot of love? Ellie is ready to deliver all of that wrapped in puppy fluff and tail wags!! ✨ Apply at haydudeequine.org — Ellie is ready to make your season (and every season after) joy filled, bright, and perfectly organized!

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 hikes 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! 🐶✨
