Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Betty Please share this “fun size” pup who has so many great qualities! HER STORY- An elderly person had got Betty from a backyard breeder situation when she was a puppy. They decided Betty was too much for an older person, and put her for free on Facebook. Free puppies is never a good thing, so we stepped in and took her before she ended up in a bad situation or bounced from home to home. BREED- We were told that Betty's dad is a Mountain Feist/American Coonhound mix and her mom is an Australian Shepherd. AGE-estimated DOB 8/18/24 making her almost 9 months old. SIZE-Betty is only about 25 pounds. I do not think she is going to get much bigger. She may fill out a little but that's about it. 25 pounds is a perfect size! She is house trained and crate trained!! She LOVES other dogs!! She is fostered with other dogs of various sizes, including an XL dog, and she’s great with all of them. She has not been around cats. ENERGY/PERSONALITY- Betty is an energetic pup. She loves to play with toys and loves to play fetch, though she doesn’t always bring it back. She loves to play with other dogs. A fenced yard will likely be best for her due to her energy and lack of leash skills and recall, but this can be negotiable depending on the situation. RIDES- Her owner had not taken her anywhere since she got her as a puppy. Due to this, riding in the car is a new thing for Betty. She rides pretty good (stays put for the most part, doesn't jump around) but does get nervous and drools. She’s been in her foster home for just under 3 weeks and has already gotten a lot more comfortable in the car. Her owner had not put a collar on her or a leash, ever. She was very nervous when I first put a collar on her but she is much more used to it now. She needs to work on leash walking. She gets nervous on the leash but we haven’t had much time to work on leash walking. KIDS- I have not had her around little kids. She does jump and occasionally nips (out of play) when she gets excited or thinks there is something in my hand that she wants (food, toys). She is not doing this aggressively in any way, she's just excited and it's probably a little bit of the Australian Shepherd in her. She did meet some 13 year old kids and was good with them. She seems to love people! She is food motivated! She is learning 'sit' and we are working on not jumping which she is getting better with. She loves people and has the adorable wiggle but and tail wag when her people get home from work. She is a really cool dog! She could likely do some agility work if someone had the time to work w/ her on it. Her owner had not done any vetting-no shots, nothing. So, we're getting her fully vetted and then she'll be ready for adoption. She will be spayed at the beginning of June and then she'll be good to go! We hope to have a home ready and waiting for her! I have many videos of this girl too. Facebook won’t let us post pics and videos together. Message us and we’ll send you the videos!

Please note that we are a TX based rescue that transports our dogs once they are adopted. All out dogs reside in foster homes in TX. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Stacey - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hello all you fabulous people out there, let me introduce myself. My name is Stacey and I'm here hoping to adopt me a family. One that I can say is ALL mine and since you're reading this, I'm hoping you're considering making ME part of yours!! I am super loving and have got the sweetest personality. I love my people and I do well with other dogs once you give me a minute to get acquainted with them. I get kinda scared if they just run up on me. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any of those creatures y'all call a cat but if proper introductions are made I should do fine with them. I am adventurous and love to go exploring. I'd make a great hiking pawtner, stroll taker or camping buddy. At only about 4 months these lil legs don't keep me from having a blast finding all those wonderful smells. And I might be small for now (35-41lbs grown) but I'm super quick and find the sheer joy in getting the zoomies, running circles around the other foster pups. I am guaranteed to put a smile on your face, you just won't be able to help it!! I'm super snuggly and love laying up beside you (or on you) to take naps. I'm also very content to take one on my bed if you're busy working on the computer. And I just may have the fastest tongue in the west!! I can give you kisses before you even know I was going to!!!! Sweet and loving, energetic and playful, I have got the cuteness factor going on, along with some... have you laugh out loud personality traits. The only thing I don't have yet is...YOU!! If you think I could 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

Story
Rocket Man is a dog with a strong personality. He is short and stocky, making him stand out among other dogs. Rocket Man enjoys being in control and likes to be the boss of the pack. He craves attention and loves being around people, always seeking out affection and playtime. However, his assertiveness can sometimes lead to him bullying less dominant or submissive dogs. Despite this behavior, Rocket Man's loving nature and need for human companionship make him an ideal companion for an active and experienced dog owner. He enjoys running around with other dogs at the dog park. With proper training and socialization, Rocket Man can become a loyal and loving pet who will always be by his owner's side. FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
