Story
Hi, my name is Silke and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Apr 21, 2025. Learning new tricks and exercising my brain are my absolute favorite things to do! The only way it could be any better would be if I could learn things with you. We could show off new, fun tricks together and be the coolest pair ever!

Story
Hi! My name is Sid and I am available for adoption. I am about 55 pounds.I was nominated as the Pet of the Week on January 4, 2022. This means that my adoption fee has been reduced. Please note that a pet license is a requirement and therefore a fee may be applied. This helps my safe return home should I become lost, and comes with additional benefits such as Vacation Pet Alert, Free Ride Home and more (visit our pet licensing page for more info)!I was brought in by a good Samaritan on 11/12.I am an independent dog who likes to do my own thing!I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy.My caregivers have observed that I might not get along with other dogs. I may do best as the only dog in my new home, or I may need a very slow introduction to other dogs.I have been known to resource guard, meaning that I am displaying behavior that is intended to convince other dogs or humans to stay away from a particular treasure or `resource.` If you take me home you will benefit from in home guidance to help to manage and improve this behavior.My personality color is RED. I am a spirited dog with a fun-loving personality! I am still working on my manners, so I would do best with a family who is willing to work with me and help me become the best dog I can be!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Calvin – Your Golden-Hearted Companion! Breed: Likely Long-Haired Dachshund Mix (Miniature Golden Retriever vibes!) DOB: Around February 28, 2023 &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 16.8 lbs Adoption Fee: $300 Calvin is a beautiful soul with a heart of gold and the fluffy charm of a mini golden retriever. While we think he’s a long-haired Dachshund mix, his golden locks and sweet demeanor have everyone guessing (and swooning). This little adventurer has quite the backstory – Calvin was rescued twice off the streets of San Antonio, earning his title as a certified escape artist. But don’t worry, with the right home and a secure yard, he’s ready to retire from his days of street escapades and settle into a life full of love. Calvin is incredibly friendly and social – he gets along great with other dogs and would love to have a furry sibling or a stay-at-home family who can give him plenty of attention and snuggles. He thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where he’s not left alone for long stretches of time. If you’re looking for a loyal, lovable, and slightly mischievous sidekick, Calvin might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to bring joy, warmth, and a little bit of goofy charm into your life. Come meet Calvin – he’s more than a dog, he’s a best friend in the making. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 21, 2025, 6:03 pm

Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Sunshine - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Looking for a new FBF (furry best friend)? Look no further than Sunshine (hey, hey, that's me!) and I'm here looking to adopt me a family, a home...one I can say will be all mine! And since you're reading this, I'm hoping that you'll consider making ME a part of yours!!!! I’m known to brighten up people’s day with my sweet face. I have been a momma myself, but am still just as playful as a puppy. I love to run around the backyard, and wrestle with all the foster pups. I’ve never had a home to call my own so for most of my life I have been very shy around people, however, my foster mom says I have really come out of my shell in the last few weeks. I am calm, low maintenance, and will be a very loyal companion to my family. If you adopt me, I can promise that I will add some extra sunshine and happiness into your life. I is a sweet, adorable, and playful pupster of around a year and a half old and 38lbs that has that cuteness overload that will win over your heart with my charming personality. I would love to be that 'sunshine' to brighten your life even when your skies are dark and grey!! I is ready to start this next chapter in life with lots of puppy kisses, tail wags and playtime with my new family!! I loves to run around and play with toys and the other pups here in my foster home. I has a lot of energy and would be the perfect companion for just about any household. I would be that pawsomely perfect addition to your family as a 'sibling' or hogging all the attention as your one and only. I am looking forward to sharing in ALL your adventures from the mundane daily to your weekend exciting, I'm ready to join in and have a blast...doing it together! I do great with people both tall and small. And I get on great with my canine 'sibling and I even do good with the resident kitties. I am sooooo ready to unleash all this awesomeness on a family and be that lil heartbeat at your feet, so if you think I'd be a pawsome fit for you and your lifestyle, please stop scrolling and fill out my adoption application! It can be found at haydudeequine.org
