Story
Our Sadie Lady just adores her people! She is a little shy at first but, once she gets comfortable and feels safe, her big ole, goofy personality comes out! She loves to collect her squeeky toys and hoard them on the couch next to her. If you sit next to her, she will gladly roll over and "let you" pet her tummy! And, when she is really happy, she'll prance around the house like she is on stage. Sadie would love a home that allows her to be outside often. This is her first autumn and she has discovered that rolling around in the leaves is so much fun! She also enjoys watching the squirrels and even chickens if you have them! (Chickens are NOT a prerequisite!) She is also a fantastic cubicle-mate! She is content sitting next to me, on her bed with her bone when I work from home. She will get up and boop my leg with her nose to say "hi"! Sadie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her shots and preventives. Her adoption fee is $325.

Story
Meet Cassidy, the Charming Introvert! Get ready to fall in love with Cassidy, a pale white pup with captivating puppy eyes and a heart-shaped nose. Despite a challenging past where he navigated the streets and scrounged for survival, Cassidy's resilience shines through. Now, he's on a mission to find a loving home where he can feel safe and cherished. Cassidy is a dog with a gentle and timid personality. Loud noises and intense reactions make him nervous, and he prefers a calm and serene environment. He needs time to warm up to people and build trust before he feels comfortable and secure. This smart little guy knows some tricks already and is a well-mannered companion during feeding time. He's polite and respectful, showing his intelligence and willingness to please. Sitting on command is just one of the many tricks he has mastered. When it comes to relaxation, Cassidy's favorite spot is snuggled up on the couch or bed. He loves cozy naps and enjoys sleeping in when it's chilly or rainy outside. His head and ears are the sweet spots for scratches and cuddles, and he might even roll over for a belly rub! Cassidy is searching for someone who will shower him with love and understanding. While he respects cats and tolerates other dogs, he prefers his own space and will often retreat to a separate room. However, when the other dogs are not around, he comes out for attention and cuddles. He enjoys the quiet company of a select few men, seeming to have a preference for quieter individuals. It's important to note that Cassidy is not a fan of chaos, whether it's caused by humans or other dogs. He seeks a serene and calm environment where he can feel at ease. Car rides are a pleasure for him, as long as he is the sole rider and not in a crowded car with other dogs. To provide Cassidy with his ideal home, a single, quiet man with no other dogs or possibly a submissive dog that Cassidy meets and approves of would be the perfect match. An at-home social life that aligns with his introverted nature is preferable. While Cassidy tends to avoid general interaction and may not seek pets, hugs, or kisses, he has his moments of affection when he feels comfortable. Cassidy may be an introverted hermit, but beneath his reserved exterior lies a dog yearning for love and understanding. If you're someone who appreciates the quiet moments and can provide a calm and peaceful environment, Cassidy will reward you! (Only) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
Ever see 23 lbs of love and happiness to see you? Meet Willow! In her short 18 months on earth, Willow has survived a lifetime of hard knocks. She was found on the side of the road injured, by what is assumed to be a car accident. No owners around and needing help, Willow was picked up by the city pound.... Despite having serious injuries (2 pelvic fractures and a open ankle wound), Willow was so sweet and thankful for help, she won the attention of the staff and a spot on their Facebook page pleading for help for this gem of a gal. Willow is on the timid, submissive side, but warms up very quickly with a few sweet words of encouragement and LOVE. Through bandage changes, cleanings, shots, exams, Willow remains happy and easy going with body wags, you'd never know she has injuries! That being said she is on crate rest and meds for her injuries and is expected to make a full recovery! Yay! She loves people and other dogs and is cautiously curious about cats. In time she will be friends with them too. SO, If you are looking for a loving, happy go lucky dog, look no further. Willow is your sweetheart! She is a wonderful girl with the heart of gold you have been looking for :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
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 found at haydudeequine.org Mojito - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hey all you fabulous people out there, I'm Mojito and I'm here searching for a family, a home...one that I can call my very own!! And since you're reading this I'm hoping maybe just maybe it could be with YOU?!! My name is Mojito but I'm sometimes called Meathead, Dammit, Get Down, Stop That and Mojo. And I answer to all of them!!! My foster mom wants you to know: He is very loving and wants to sit in your lap! I think he will do well with older kids. He will need someone that will be home most of the time. He has learned how to stay in a crate but is not happy about it. He does sleep in a crate at night and usually does well. He also identifies as a cat and loves to climb so he can see everything that goes on. He will get things off the counter if left alone. I didn't have a very good start in life and as a result have some separation anxiety but we have been working really hard and I'm really doing so much better. But my ideal home would be where my person works from home. I'm a youngster yet of around a year old and come in at the top end of the small category of about 25lbs. That is a pawsomely perfect size for...everything! Neighborhood strolls, nature hikes, co-piloting errand runs, supervising yardwork, you name it, I'm just right for the job at hand!! Playful and sweet, active and adventurous, I've got some great qualities ready to share with my very own family. I am so ready to be that lil heartbeat at your feet or on your lap! If you're ready for an active lil buddy to share in your life's adventures all you need to do is stop scrolling and fill out my adoption application. You can find it at haydudeequine.org
