These little guys are the definition of a bonded duo—where one goes, the other follows, tails wagging and hearts wide open. They’re sweet, silly, and endlessly cheerful. Whether they’re playing tag in the yard, snuggling on the couch, or greeting new friends, Carlos and Snoopy radiate joy. Their favorite things? Belly rubs, snack time, and being together. They are good with other dogs their size, though we do not know how they are with cats. We’re looking for a home that can welcome both boys with open arms. They’re a package deal of love, laughter, and low-to-the-ground zoomies. If you’re ready for twice the cuddles and twice the fun, Carlos and Snoopy are waiting to meet you.Please help us make room to save more homeless pets!!!

Story
Hi, I’m Tango! I’m an 8 year old Terrier mix, weigh 12 lbs, and am a quiet little guy. My owner passed away, so I’m just staying to myself, trying to make sense of everything. I crave attention and love, and really like it when my foster mom sits and talks to me and loves on me, but I’m not really much of a lapdog. If I’m in her lap, it’s only for a brief moment and then I’m gone again. I sleep in a large crate at night, with lots of blankets and stuffed animals. I snuggle in and sleep quietly through the night. I’m enjoying chewing on bully sticks and other chewies, and playing with toys that make noise or have squeakers in them. I do like to go outside, and foster mom says that I’m a “work in progress” with my potty training. I get along well with other dogs (small dogs 20 lbs. or less), and would do well in a home with or without doggies. I do tend to vocalize quite loudly when playing, and might not do well in an apartment setting. I would do well in a home with younger people (no toddlers or babies) and adults. I would enjoy walks, and as long as I’m walked frequently and monitored on a leash, I do not require a fence. Please don’t leave me unsupervised outside; I would want your attention all the time. Since my owner passed away, I need someone who is going to re-teach me some of the rules about going potty, learning to snuggle with the family, you know…all that stuff. Tango is neutered, up to date on all his vaccinations, is heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. He’s had a dental, is microchipped and dewormed. Tango’s adoption fee is $300. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport. WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS. If you're looking for a very sweet and lovable little guy to join your family, please fill out an application on AAP’s website.

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 Gordo: 8 Pounds of Loyalty, Cuddles and Endless Love 🐾 Gordo may only weigh 8 pounds, but this little Chihuahua mix is living proof that the best things really do come in small packages. At just 3 years old, he’s equal parts lap-warmer, Nyla bone enthusiast, lizard chaser, and full-time heart thief. He’s got a soft spot for the ladies—his ideal home is with a calm, loving woman who doesn’t mind having a pint-sized shadow follow her from room to room. (Gentlemen, don’t worry—he’ll accept you too, but he’s a mama’s boy at heart!) Because of his sensitive nature, Gordo would do best in a quieter home without kids, ideally with another small dog buddy to snuggle and catch some rays. 💊 Gordo is considered special needs. He has occasional seizures, but with his daily meds (Levetiracetam and Phenobarbital—about $50 every two months), they are being managed well. He’ll also need Midazolam on hand, just in case. The good news? He takes his meds like a champ, and he doesn’t let this slow him down from enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Some of Gordo’s favorite hobbies include: Curling up with his human like a living, breathing neck pillow 💤 Catching some rays - made so much better if he can curl up with a doggie sibling Begging shamelessly for watermelon 🍉 Sitting in your lap just to be as close as possible ❤️ Joining his small-dog pals in epic standoffs with the vacuum Gordo is house trained, crate trained (he happily hops in at mealtime), and ready for a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished. He may have been through a lot already, but Gordo’s heart is wide open and waiting. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive pup who will adore you endlessly (and maybe steal your watermelon), Gordo just might be your perfect match. Apply today at haydudeequine.org🐶💖

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 Picasso - Creating Joy With Every Stroke of His Tail Move over, Michelangelo — there’s a new artist in town, and his medium is pure joy! Meet Picasso, a 1–2-year-old, 14-lb canine masterpiece who’s here to color your world with love, laughter, and a few perfectly placed paw prints. This pint-sized prodigy was found tied to a bus stop (clearly waiting for his next big exhibition), but he’s brushed off the past and is now painting a brighter future — one belly rub at a time. 💛 Picasso’s Greatest Hits (So Far): 🖌️ Compact size, museum-quality charm 🖌️ Excellent with dogs (especially the big ones — he loves the larger canvases!) 🖌️ Tolerates cats — after some initial “artistic curiosity,” he’s decided they don’t make great models 🖌️ Adoring of kids who know how to pet with gentle strokes 🖌️ Potty trained, kennel trained, and hasn’t marked his territory (even though we all know artists can be a little… expressive) 🖌️ Fully vetted and behaved like a total gentleman at the vet — no drama, just fine art 🖌️ Loves to snuggle and be carried like a baby — perfect for gallery tours or sofa exhibitions He’s playful, affectionate, and occasionally bounces around like a bunny chasing inspiration. When the muse strikes, you’ll find him zooming after stuffed toys, fetching with flair, or simply reclining on the couch like the distinguished work of art he is. Sure, every masterpiece has a few brushstrokes of imperfection — Picasso can be a little vocal when he hears something new, a tad too enthusiastic with smaller older dogs, and he’s still learning that sharing snacks is part of the deal. But with a loving home, he’ll polish his technique in no time. ✨ In summary: Picasso isn’t just a dog — he’s a living, wagging, tail-thumping limited edition. He’ll fill your home with laughter, your heart with warmth, and your days with color. So if you’re ready to adopt a one-of-a-kind original who believes love is the greatest art form of all — grab your brush (and your application)! 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — because every masterpiece deserves the perfect frame… and Picasso’s looks best next to you. ❤️🐾🎨
