Story

Alright everyone. I have never posted anything like this, but I am looking for a bit of a Christmas miracle. I have a friend who has asked me to help rehome her 10yo female German Shepherd. She is moving to a location that does not allow dogs. This dog is well behaved, house broken, and great with humans. She would have to be the only critter in your home as she does not get along with other animals but makes up for it with her sweet and loving demeaner to her humans. She is in good health with no ongoing medical needs. She has been well cared for but just needs a new home. If you, or anyone you know, would be interested please reach out. She needs to move by the beginning of the year and does not want to take her to a shelter as she is worried with the not so friendly behavior to other animals, she may not have a successful venture. Please help!

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 Mercy — A Soft Soul with So Much Love to Give 🐾🤍 Mercy is a 1-year-old, ~40-pound sweetheart who has spent her entire puppyhood waiting for something simple and life-changing — a family. Born into an unwanted litter, Mercy and her siblings grew up without the warmth of a home, yet she somehow emerged with a heart full of kindness and a spirit that never gave up hope. Mercy is gentle, affectionate, and quietly loving, the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention but melts into you when she gets it. She’s wonderful with other dogs and kids, and has a calm, comforting presence that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay. She’s the pup who will sit close, rest her head on your knee, and remind you how powerful unconditional love can be. Her mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad remains a mystery — possibly a shepherd mix, possibly a charming wanderer who left behind good looks and great genes. Mercy inherited intelligence, loyalty, and that special “old soul” energy that makes her so easy to fall in love with. Mercy would thrive in an active yet nurturing home — one that enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures, but also values quiet moments and connection. She’s eager to learn, ready to bond, and more than prepared to make up for lost time as someone’s beloved fur-baby. 🐕 Mercy’s Heart Notes: ✅ 1 year old, ~40 lbs ✅ Gentle, affectionate, and sweet-natured ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Calm, loving, and emotionally intuitive ✅ Smart and ready to learn ✅ Has waited patiently for her forever Mercy doesn’t ask for much — just kindness, consistency, and a place to finally belong. In return, she’ll give you a lifetime of devotion and love. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Mercy the home her heart has been waiting for. 🤍🐾

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🧭🐾 Meet Ranger — A Good Boy on a Mission to Find His Forever 🐾🧭 Ranger is a 1-year-old, ~40-pound sweetheart who has spent his whole puppyhood watching the world from the sidelines, waiting for a family to notice him. Born into an unwanted litter, Ranger and his siblings grew up without the simple joys of home life — no couch naps, no bedtime routines, no humans calling his name just because they love him. But somehow, Ranger’s heart stayed wide open. Ranger is friendly, affectionate, and playful, with an easygoing personality that makes him a joy to be around. He does great with other dogs and kids, and has that wonderful mix of curiosity and gentleness that makes you think, “Yep… this is a really good dog.” He’s the kind of guy who’s happy to explore by your side and then check in often, just to make sure you’re still there. His mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad remains a mystery — possibly a shepherd mix, possibly a smooth-talking drifter with a wagging tail and great timing. Whatever the blend, Ranger inherited the brains, athleticism, and loyalty that make for an amazing companion. Ranger would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures, but also values connection and togetherness. He’s eager to learn, ready to bond, and so deserving of the life he never got to experience as a puppy. 🐕 Ranger’s Rundown: ✅ 1 year old, ~40 lbs ✅ Friendly, affectionate, and people-oriented ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Playful, curious, and loyal ✅ Smart and ready to learn ✅ Waiting patiently for his forever family Ranger doesn’t need much — just a chance, a home, and someone willing to love him the way he’s been waiting for all along. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and help Ranger complete his most important journey yet: finding home. 🐾🧭

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🌼🐾 Meet Daisy — Sunshine in Fur Form, Ready to Bloom in a Home 🐾🌼 Daisy is a 1-year-old, ~40-pound sweetheart who has spent her entire puppyhood waiting for something most dogs never have to wait for — a family to call her own. Born into an unwanted litter, Daisy and her siblings grew up without the comfort of couches, bedtime snuggles, or humans who made them feel chosen. But despite it all, Daisy’s heart stayed soft, hopeful, and full of love. Daisy is gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully friendly, with a playful side that comes out once she feels safe. She does great with other dogs and kids, and has a calm, loving presence that makes you want to sit down beside her and stay awhile. She’s the kind of dog who leans in close, quietly soaking up affection like she’s making up for lost time. Her mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad? Well… dad was apparently a traveling salespup, charming his way through town and leaving us with a mystery — possibly shepherd, possibly heartthrob, definitely good looks. Whatever the mix, Daisy inherited the best parts: brains, athleticism, and a deep desire to be close to her people. Daisy would love an active but loving home — one that enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures, but also understands the magic of slowing down and just being together. She’s ready to learn, eager to please, and so excited to finally experience what it means to be part of a family. 🐕 Daisy’s Darling Details: ✅ 1 year old, ~40 lbs ✅ Sweet, gentle, and affectionate ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Playful with a calm, loving heart ✅ Smart and ready to learn ✅ Has waited patiently for her chance at a home Daisy is ready to bloom into the best version of herself — all she needs is someone willing to give her the love she’s been missing. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and help Daisy finally plant her paws where she belongs: right in your heart and home. 🌼🐾

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 💙🐾 Meet Scout — A Loyal Heart Ready to Finally Belong 🐾💙 Scout is a 1-year-old, 40-pound bundle of sweetness who has somehow grown up without one very important thing… a family of his own. Born into an unwanted litter, Scout and his siblings missed out on the comforts most puppies take for granted — couches, bedtime routines, and humans who call them theirs. But somehow, Scout never let that dim his spirit. Scout is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and playful, with a heart that’s clearly been saving up love just waiting for the right people. He’s great with other dogs and kids, and greets life with a wagging tail and a hopeful look that says, “Is this my family?” His mom is a heeler/border collie mix around 40 lbs, and dad? Well… dad was apparently a traveling salespup, charming his way through town and leaving us with a mystery — possibly shepherd, possibly heartthrob, definitely good looks. Whatever the mix, Scout inherited the best parts: brains, athleticism, and a deep desire to be close to his people. Scout is playful and energetic, and would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, adventures, games, and the kind of everyday moments that mean everything to a dog who’s waited so long. He’s the type who will happily run beside you one minute and lean his whole body into you the next, just to be sure you know how grateful he is. 🐕 Scout’s Highlights: ✅ 1 year old, 40 lbs ✅ Sweet, affectionate, and people-loving ✅ Great with dogs and kids ✅ Playful and active — adventure buddy approved ✅ Smart, eager, and ready to learn ✅ Missed out on puppyhood comforts, but not on love Scout doesn’t want to miss another second of what he’s waited his whole life for — a home, a family, and someone to love him back just as fiercely as he’ll love them. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and give Scout the happy ending he’s been scouting for all along. 🐾💙
