My 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 at haydudeequine.org 🎬 Meet Al Pawcino – Ready for His Big Break! 🎬 Al Pawcino is a 3-year-old, 22 lb Poodle mix with star quality written all over him. He may be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, you’ll find yourself Cruisin’ through life with the sweetest sidekick by your side. Al’s story hasn’t been all red carpets and bright lights—he came from a hoarding situation where he never got the love and attention he deserved. Now he’s looking for a patient, caring family to help him discover what it means to just be a dog. With time, gentle introductions, and lots of TLC, Al will blossom into the star he was always meant to be. This gentle boy gets along beautifully with other dogs and would love to have a confident canine buddy (but not pushy) to show him the ropes. The world is still new to him, but with patience and love, he’s ready to turn up the Heat and shine in his forever home. A few things to know about Al Pawcino: ✨ Appears to be non-shedding ✨ Very sweet and kind with other dogs ✨ Can climb a 4-foot fence panel — so he’ll need a secure yard ✨ Shy but loving, just waiting for the right person to help him blossom ✨ Still young enough to make every day feel like a playful Dog Day Afternoon Al Pawcino is eager to trade his rough past for a brighter script—he just needs someone who understands that good things take time. With your patience, he’ll learn that life isn’t an 88 Minutes thriller but a lifelong story filled with a slow and steady supply of safety, love, and happily-ever-afters. ❤️ 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Al Pawcino steal the scene in your life!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Al Pawcino, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
