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 🌿🐶

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 Dixie! Well, howdy there, y'all! I'm Dixie, and I'm looking for my very own forever family! My story started with a heartbreaking chapter. My human passed away, leaving my mama and all six of us puppies behind. Thankfully, we got our chance at a fresh start, and now I'm ready to find the family I've been waiting for. We think I'm an Australian Shepherd x Cattle Dog mix, which means I may have inherited some serious smarts along with my good looks. And speaking of looks — have you noticed my eyes? I've got one of those gorgeous blue-eyed looks that makes people stop scrolling and say, "Well, would you look at HER!" I reckon I was born knowing how to work the camera! I'm the largest girl in my litter, but I'm also a little more laid-back than some of my siblings. While they're busy auditioning for the Puppy Olympics, I'm perfectly happy taking things at a slightly more relaxed pace. Don't get me wrong — I'm still a puppy with plenty to learn and lots of growing to do, but I may be the perfect balance of playful and chill. Someone's got to keep this bunch grounded, right? Mama weighs around 55 pounds, and I'm expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. That means I'll be a great size for adventures, family outings, and finding my favorite spot on the couch. I'm not planning to take up the ENTIRE couch, although I reserve the right to change my mind once I discover how comfy it is! With my possible Aussie and Cattle Dog heritage, I'm likely to be a smart girl who enjoys learning new things. I'll need a family willing to help me with training, exercise, and mental stimulation as I grow. Walks, games, adventures, and learning tricks will help me become the very best version of myself. A clever girl needs a little something to keep her brain busy, after all! But what I really want is a family to call my own: someone to love me, help me learn about the world, and include me in all the little everyday things that make life special. Whether we're heading out on an adventure or spending a quiet evening at home, I'm ready to be your loyal little sidekick. So, if you're looking for a beautiful blue-eyed cowgirl with brains, a sweet puppy spirit, and a slightly more relaxed approach to life, I might just be your Dixie! Apply to adopt me at haydudeequine.org. I'm ready to trade my uncertain beginnings for a lifetime of love, adventures, and a family who thinks I'm just as special as I think they are. Love, Dixie

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 Cheyenne! Howdy, y’all! I’m Cheyenne, and I’m looking for my very own forever family! 🤠❤️ I’m a 4-month-old Australian Shepherd x Cattle Dog mix, which means I come with a whole lot of brains, a whole lot of personality, and enough adventurous spirit to keep life interesting! I’m also sporting a pretty special marking on my forehead… a big ol’ Y! I guess the universe wanted to make sure everyone knew to ask, “Y wouldn’t you adopt me?” 😂 I’m a super sweet, outgoing girl who thinks the world is one big adventure just waiting to happen. New places? Let’s go! New people? Let’s be friends! Water? OH, HECK YES! 💦 If there’s a puddle, pond, creek, or any other opportunity to get my paws wet, you can bet I’ll be investigating it. I’m basically a tiny explorer with a built-in water attraction system. Now, let’s talk brains. With Australian Shepherd and Cattle Dog in my family tree, I’m a pretty smart cookie. I love learning and figuring things out, so I’ll need a family who can keep my clever little mind busy. Training, puzzle toys, adventures, games, and plenty of opportunities to learn new things will help me grow into the best girl I can be. Fair warning: smart puppies can be a little TOO good at coming up with their own entertainment. If you don’t give me a job, I might just invent one. And I can’t promise that my ideas will always align with your interior decorating preferences! 😉😂 I’ll grow into a medium-sized dog, making me a great adventure buddy for someone who wants a fun, active companion. I’d love a family who enjoys getting outside, exploring, teaching me new things, and including me in everyday life. I’m still a puppy, so I’ll need all the usual things: patience, consistency, training, and lots of love as I learn how to be a well-mannered member of the family. But underneath all that energy and intelligence is one very sweet girl who wants to love her people with her whole heart. I’ve got the looks, the brains, the adventurous spirit, and a forehead marking that makes me pretty hard to forget. All I need now is YOU! So, if you’re looking for a smart, sweet, water-loving sidekick who’s always ready to say “Y not?” to a new adventure, I might just be your girl! 🌵💦❤️ Love, Cheyenne 🤠🐾

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 🐾💕

Monty is a great name for a great dog like me ;) I have the Monty Python kind of humor... goofy and sweet! But, don't mess with my crate! That really is my only "pet: peeve!! I was found on the streets 2 years ago and was adopted as a pup... however, I became the boss in the house and didn't like anyone entering the house that I didn't know :( SO..... Back to the rescue, because they won't give up on me!! So here I am and I have really adjusted to the environment and new people meeting me and treats and lots of love. AND the crew here basically has determined that I need a family/adopters that will be in charge of the house. Someone I can trust to protect me so I don't have to!! I am vocal in my crate, so my crate needs to be away from the common areas so I can relax and not meet everyone that stops by. Once I settle into my new home I will follow your lead! I am a gorgeous boy, with caramel and milk chocolate highlights in my soft fur. I want to please my family and go on all kinds of adventures! I am awesome out and about, meeting new people and new friends :D I hope you will look into my eyes, the windows to my soul, and see the HOPE I have to find my own home again! The rescue is great because I got a second chance, but I REALLY want a home!! Local adoption only $300 (in TX)

Story

Clyde is a happy, playful boy who believes there's simply way too much fun to be had to sit still for very long! He's always ready for the next wrestling match, a good case of the zoomies, or a toy that needs his immediate attention. Other dogs are definitely Clyde's favorite playmates. He absolutely loves his puppy roommates and is happiest right in the middle of whatever they're doing. Whether they're racing around the yard, wrestling, or investigating something new, you can count on Clyde joining the party. He's also been respectful of the cats in his foster home. Clyde enjoys his people too and gets excited when he sees you—he'll happily engage in a little human-versus-puppy wrestling match! He's just not quite as interested in stopping for pets and cuddles as some of his roommates. Right now, playtime wins over snuggle time, and with so much puppy business on his schedule, who can blame him? As he continues getting more individual attention and bonding with his own family, we think there's still plenty of Clyde's personality waiting to unfold. He loves toys, running around outside, and putting those puppy legs to good use. He's currently working on potty training and learning all the other skills that come with growing into a very good boy. Clyde would love a family that appreciates his playful spirit and will give him the time and space to build his relationship with them naturally. And if there's another playful dog in the family? Clyde would probably consider that a pretty fantastic bonus. Local adoption fee is $350 (in texas) and $650 for out of state adoption fee ( includes transport to your area)

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there... I'm Dixie. I'm quite literally the best girl, according to the staff and volunteers here at the rescue. About me: I LOVE the water—I could swim all day! I'm fully potty and house trained, and I'll even let you know when I need to go outside by crying at the door. I walk nicely on a leash and absolutely love playing fetch (at least until my age catches up with me. I know my name, and have excellent recall. I seem to do okay with larger dogs, but smaller dogs I do not like. I am a quiet, gentle soul looking for a forever home to call my own. While I may be a little older, I still enjoy playing with my toys and spending time with other dogs when the mood strikes. My journey here has been quite the adventure. During a big storm, the local fire department found me in the water and brought me to the rescue. They later realized they had actually been trying to catch me for months, believing I was a stray. But it turns out I wasn't always on my own. I once had a loving owner, but after he passed away, I was given away because his mother was no longer able to care for me due to her own health challenges. I'm already spayed, fully vaccinated, 4DX tested (positive for heartworm), and up to date on my ProHeart 12 and Bravecto. I am heartworm positive right now, but I’ve already started treatment. I’ve been on antibiotics and am going through the ProHeart 12 protocol approved by the American Heartworm Society. The good news is that with this treatment, I should test negative in about 8–10 months. My adoption fee is $250, and you can apply to adopt me at www.adoggie4you.org. I'm currently in Texas, but I can travel to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington (Kentucky), and locations along the East Coast for an additional $250 transport fee. Due to state regulations, I cannot be transported to Rhode Island or Massachusetts.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 23, 2026, 12:03 pm

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 Hope! And trust us, she's everything her name promises! If you're looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart, follow you from room to room, and consider personal space a completely unnecessary concept, then allow us to introduce you to Hope! Hope is a 5-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, and honestly? She's the kind of dog who makes you wonder how you ever lived without her. She's sweet, loyal, loving, and happiest when she's right by her people's side. Bathroom trip? She's coming. Laundry? She's supervising. Couch time? She has already saved you a spot. This girl is a certified Velcro dog who wants to be part of whatever you're doing. She's not just looking for a house to live in; she's looking for HER people. The ones she can love fiercely, stick close to, and shower with affection every single day. And the best part? Hope is wonderful with kids, other dogs, and cats! She's a social sweetheart who fits right into family life. She's also house-trained, so she's already got some important life skills mastered. Good girl points? Off the charts! Now, we do need to discuss the chickens. Hope thinks chickens are delicious little opportunities rather than feathered friends, so a home with chickens would not be a safe match. We'll call that her one very specific career interest! Hope has so much love to give, and at five years old, she's past the tiny-puppy chaos but still ready to enjoy all the adventures life has to offer. She'd love a family who wants a devoted companion: not just a dog in the backyard, but a true member of the family. Hope is the bestest girl, and she's ready to prove it to her forever family. She's got the loyalty, the cuddles, the good manners, and enough love to fill a whole house. All she needs now is someone to choose her. Could Hope be the missing piece of your family? Give this wonderful girl her happily-ever-after! Apply to adopt Hope at haydudeequine.org.
