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 🐾💕

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 🌿🐶

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 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 🤠🐾

Your Shadow, Sidekick & Adventure Buddy All Rolled Into One! 🐾 2 years old | 30 lbs | Mini Aussie x Border Collie If you're looking for a dog who thinks personal space is overrated and being your best friend is a full-time job, Desiree would like to submit her application! ❤️ This gorgeous girl is a Mini Australian Shepherd x Border Collie mix, which means she's got brains, beauty, and enough personality to keep life interesting. She's a total people-lover, gets along great with other dogs, and is happiest when she's right by her person's side. Seriously, if you get up, she's getting up. If you go somewhere, she's going too. Bathroom privacy? She doesn't really understand the concept. 😂 Desiree is an active, high-drive girl who loves car rides, walks, adventures, and basically anything that involves spending time with her favorite human. She's incredibly smart and eager to engage, so she'll thrive with a family who enjoys keeping both her mind and body busy. Think walks, training, games, activities, and plenty of opportunities to show off that brilliant little brain! Because of her high drive and herding-breed instincts, a home without cats would likely be the best fit. Desiree isn't looking for a family who will simply admire her from across the room. She wants to be INCLUDED in the fun, involved in your daily life, and right there beside you through it all. If you want a loyal, clever, adventurous best friend who will happily be your little shadow, Desiree is ready to clock in for duty! Apply to adopt this sweet girl at haydudeequine.org! ❤️

Well, howdy there, y'all! I'm Riata, 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 a Border Collie x Australian Shepherd mix, which means I may have inherited some serious smarts along with my good looks. And speaking of looks... have you noticed my gorgeous eyes? I reckon I was born knowing how to work the camera! I'm a beautiful cowgirl with brains, personality, and plenty of puppy charm. With my Border Collie and Aussie heritage, I'll likely grow into a clever girl who enjoys having a job to do, even if that job is simply keeping you company and making sure you never eat a snack alone! Mama weighs around 55 pounds, so 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! Like any smart young pup, I'll need a family willing to help me learn the ropes. Training, exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of opportunities to explore will help me grow into the very best version of myself. Walks, games, adventures, and learning new tricks will keep my clever little brain happy. A girl with my heritage needs more than just a pretty pasture to admire! 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 cowgirl with brains, a sweet puppy spirit, and a whole lot of love to give, I might just be your Riata! 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, Riata

Story

Animal Information: Venus is a female German Shepherd/Malinois mix. Venus is the roman goddess of love. She was found as a stray with her mom and 9 siblings. She had been at the Devore animal shelter for 2 weeks and was on the euth list due to space. Thanks to a Seattle area foster stepping up to take the family in, they were all saved. We will share more about Venus her mom and siblings as they settle in. Foster Profile: Venus is a beautiful nearly 10-month-old Aussie/German Shepherd/Malinois mix, weighing currently 44 pounds. She’s smart, athletic, playful, social, and full of personality. She is always ready for an adventure or a good game, and she absolutely loves swimming and dock diving! Venus is dog-friendly, kid friendly, highly food-motivated, potty and crate trained, and loves being with her people and learning new things. She’s also energetic, mouthy, and has opinions. She’s very much still a puppy in her teenage era and is continuing to learn how to channel all that energy. Venus thrives with structure, consistency, boundaries, and continued training. She loves being near her people but isn’t a cuddly pup—she’s more of a “hang out close by” kind of girl. A securely fenced yard and an active, breed-savvy home are preferred. Kids that are 10 and up will do best with this energetic girl. No apartments, please. Venus is a fun, loyal, incredibly smart, smiley girl who will make an amazing adventure buddy for the right home!

Story

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Neptune! Neptune is a 3.5-year-old, 50 lb Australian Shepherd mix who came to us from an overcrowded shelter in CA. He is a handsome, incredibly smart, active boy with all the intelligence, enthusiasm, and personality that working-breed lovers appreciate! Neptune loves having a routine and a job to do. He is house trained, eager to please his people, and can become very bonded to his person or people. He thrives when he has structure, clear expectations, and opportunities to use both his mind and his energy. While he can take a moment to warm up to new dogs, he’s a social guy who loves playing with his canine friends in our play yard at the rescue everyday! Because Neptune is such a smart, instinct-driven working dog, he needs a confident handler who understands working and herding breeds and can provide consistent boundaries and leadership as he can also become protective of his people. We are looking for a home with working-breed experience that will continue to give him structure, training, enrichment, and an active lifestyle. Neptune would do best in an adult-only home without cats and without the hustle and bustle of an apartment or condo. A home with a full yard and a more predictable environment would be ideal for him. His perfect family will appreciate his working-dog brain and give him the outlets and guidance he needs to thrive. Neptune is an incredibly intelligent, fun, affectionate dog who has so much to offer the right person or family. If you’re looking for an adventure buddy and have the experience to help a working dog be his best, Neptune may be your guy! Neptune is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.

Little Louie

Border Collie Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Story

This dog is joining our rescue after being confiscated during a warrant execution as part of the cruelty case investigation involving the Pittie Project PNW. They have been in temporary protective custody with Whatcom Humane and will soon be released into our care, where they will begin the next chapter of their journey toward safety and a brighter future. Animal Information: Louie is a 2-year-old, 30 lb herdy breed mix. He's an Oklahoma native that came to Washington in July of 2025. He initially went into foster care with a trainer to help overcome some of his fears as a hoarding house survivor. Louie spent a few weeks in home working on his basic leash skills and learning to trust people. He can take a minute to warm up to strangers, but is very sweet and eager to engage. Louie would do best in a home with another social, friendly pup to help him continue to learn how to dog. Louie was reportedly house trainer, and does well in his crate. He immediately offered engagement during his assessment on the property, and was very sweet leaning in for attention and affection. Foster Profile: Coming Soon! Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, heartworm test if indicated, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
