Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Please note that we are a foster based rescue in TX. All of our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. We transport them to new states once adopted. ALL ADOPTERS MUST BE 21+. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org Hey there — I’m Astro 🚀💙 I’m a 7-week-old Great Pyrenees/Aussie/Lab mix with fluffy cream-colored fur, dreamy blue eyes, and a face that apparently makes humans immediately start talking in baby voices. I don’t really understand it yet, but I’m rolling with it. My siblings and I were rescued from a rural area outside of Bastrop, Texas after being found as strays with our mama. She was extremely skinny when we came into rescue, but she still took such good care of us. Now we’re safe, loved, and discovering that life is pretty great when you have soft blankets, full bellies, and people who adore you. I’m a sweet and curious little guy with a gentle personality and just enough puppy confidence to make exploring fun. I love waddling around investigating new things, soaking up attention, and giving my best serious “tiny polar bear” expression when people take my picture. With my mix, I’ll probably grow into a beautiful medium-to-large dog around 60–70 lbs full grown — loyal, smart, affectionate, and ready for adventures with my future family. What I’m really looking for is a home where I can grow up feeling safe, loved, and included in all the little moments of life. Someone to teach me things, cuddle me after long puppy days, and remind me that I’ll never have to survive on my own again. Until then, I’ll just keep being the fluffy blue-eyed heartbreaker of the litter. 🩵🐾

Our mama is a Lab x Pyr mix, and while we’re not sure about dad, one thing’s for sure — I’m gonna grow up to be a sturdy, handsome boy right around 60-70 lbs. I take more after my Lab side in looks — sleek, soft cream-colored coat, floppy ears, and that classic Lab build — but I’ve got these striking blue-green eyes that everyone keeps talking about. They’re kinda mesmerizing, if I do say so myself! I’m the kind of puppy who: Loves belly rubs and zoomies around the yard Gives the sweetest, slobbery kisses Follows my people everywhere (loyalty is my middle name) Plays gently but with plenty of goofy puppy energy Melts hearts with those big blue-green eyes Even as a little guy, I’m already showing that perfect mix of Lab goofiness and Pyr calmness. I’m sweet, smart, and ready to be your constant companion — whether it’s chasing balls, hiking Texas trails, or just chilling on the couch after a long day. If you’re looking for a fun, loving, and super handsome adventure buddy who’ll be your best Amigo for life, I’m your boy! Come on and take me home — I promise I’ll be the best friend you’ve ever had. 🤠 — Amigo 💙

Story

Meet COWBOY, pure sweetness on 4 legs. He's a gorgeous mixed breed boy with the sweetest face, about 2 years old and fully grown at 34 pounds. Our best guess on breed is beagle/Australian Shepherd plus who knows what else. We're basing that on appearance not personality, he's a fun, playful guy who loves attention, toys, zoomies and hanging out with his people. He loves a good game of fetch. Cowboy is housebroken and best suited to life as an only dog where he can soak up all of the attention. If you'd like to meet Cowboy, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Cowboy at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate. Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.

Story

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 $200 (in TX)

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 🐾 Elvis is a 2-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix with a big heart, a playful spirit, and 60 pounds of pure love. He has a wonderful balance of energy and calmness—always ready for a game of fetch, but just as happy to relax and spend time with his favorite people. This handsome guy never met a toy he didn't like, but fetch is definitely one of his favorite activities. If you've got a ball to throw, Elvis is ready for the job! When playtime is over, he loves scratches on his hips and lower tummy and will gladly soak up all the affection you can give. Elvis came from a farm and would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of attention, love, and opportunities to stay active. He's an incredibly sweet dog who loves being part of the family and would make an amazing companion for adventures, backyard games, and cozy evenings at home. He's great with cats and other animals, though if a cat decides to sprint across the room, Elvis may see it as an invitation to a friendly game of chase. (He thinks everyone should want to play as much as he does!) If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving, family-friendly dog who will keep you smiling and remind you to enjoy the simple things in life, Elvis is your guy. All he needs is a forever family to love.

He's incredibly gentle, wonderful with kids, and has a loving personality that makes him an easy companion. He gets along well with cats too, although he may occasionally try to convince them to play like they're fellow dogs! His favorite toy is his yellow ducky pull toy, and if you're looking for the quickest way to become his best friend, give him scratches on his lower tummy or thighs. He'll happily melt into a puddle of appreciation. Sven came from a farm, and while he doesn't necessarily need acreage, he would thrive in a home with people to shower him with attention and affection. More than anything, Sven wants to be part of the family and included in all of life's adventures. If you're looking for an amazing, gentle, goofy best friend who is equal parts cuddle bug and playmate, Sven may be the perfect match for you.

Story

Meet Jacques! At just 3.5 months old and already tipping the scales at 20 pounds, Jacques is a handsome black-and-white Border Collie mix with a thoughtful soul and a bright future ahead of him. Jacques is the kind of puppy who likes to take it all in first. He’s observant, intelligent, and always paying attention to what’s happening around him. While some puppies rush headfirst into every situation, Jacques prefers to assess the scene before joining the fun—which is classic Border Collie behavior! His gentle, sweet temperament makes him a joy to be around, and he has done wonderfully with both people and adult dogs. As he grows, Jacques will thrive in a home that enjoys teaching and engaging a smart pup. Whether it's learning tricks, exploring new places, or simply being your loyal sidekick, this boy is ready to soak it all up. Jacques is still a baby and isn't fully potty trained yet, but he's already doing a great job consistently using pee pads and learning his puppy manners. If you're looking for a sweet, intelligent best friend who will grow into a devoted companion, Jacques may be your perfect match. Jacques is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is $400.00.
