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.4/27/25 Meet Betty! She was being given away for free on Facebook, so we stepped in before she ended up in a bad situation or bounced from home to home. An elderly person had got Betty from a backyard breeder situation. She was being given away by her owner because Betty was too much for an older person. We were told that Betty's dad is a Mountain Feist/American Coonhound mix and her mom is an Australian Shepherd.  We were told she is 6 months old, however, our vet thinks she is more like 8 months old.  Betty is only 23-24 pounds. I do not think she is going to get much bigger. She may fill out a little but that's about it.  Betty is an energetic pup. She loves to play with toys and loves to play fetch. A fenced yard will likely be best for her, but this can be negotiable depending on the situation. She is house trained and crate trained.  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 good (stays put, doesn't jump around) but does get nervous and car sick. We are working on this and she is already making progress. She also had not put a collar on her or a leash. She was very nervous when I first put a collar on her but she is getting used to it. She needs to work on leash walking. She has another month before she gets spayed and can be adopted, so we will work on leash manners between now and then! She is good with other dogs. It took her a little time to find her place in the pack and realize she is not the boss. She loves to play with my dogs and run and chase w/ them.  I have not had her around kids. She does jump and occasionally nips (out of play) when she 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 is food motivated! She is learning 'sit' and we are working on not jumping.  She loves people and has the adorable wiggle but and tail wag when her people get home from work.  She has not been around cats.  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 have videos of this girl too. Email us and we’ll send you the videos!   In New England   To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059  email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any details questions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

Story
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.
