Please note that we are a TX based rescue. We transport our dogs to new homes once adopted. All our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org Hey there, I'm the big man of the litter! 🐾 My name is Cowboy, and I came into this world on March 18, 2026, under a porch at an apartment complex right on the Texas/Mexico border. My mama was a friendly stray who clearly knew how to find cozy spots and sweet humans. Somehow my siblings and I ended up at a rural shelter that was sadly running out of space. Things were looking pretty rough until these amazing people stepped in and gave us a second chance. I'm the biggest, chunkiest dude in my crew — a solid mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Border Collie energy. That means I've got the brains, the drive, the athleticism, and the zoomies to match. I'm super smart, always watching and learning, and I’m incredibly people-oriented. If you’re in the room, I want to be right there with you — preferably leaning on your leg, staring into your eyes, or figuring out how to get you to play fetch or tug. I may still be a puppy, but I’ve got the build of a future adventure buddy. Strong legs, a serious “let’s go explore” attitude, and a whole lot of love to give. Whether it’s hiking, running around the yard, learning new tricks, or just chilling on the couch after a big day of being awesome, I’m all in. I went from “born under a porch, almost out of time” to “ready to be your loyal shadow and best friend.” If you’re looking for a smart, athletic, chunky little lovebug who’s going to bond hard and keep you laughing, I’m your guy. Ready to bring this border-heeler home? I promise I’ll make it the best decision you’ve ever made. ❤️
