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 Cindy Lou — Your Future Walking, Wagging Bundle of Joy ✨🎀 At just 10 months old, Cindy Lou is already proving she’s less “puppy” and more full-blown heart thief. With her beautiful coat, bright eyes, and joyful puppy energy, she’s the kind of dog who makes strangers smile and friends ask, “Okay but where did you find her?” Cindy Lou is sweet, playful, affectionate, and delightfully goofy — the total package. She adores her people (big and small), though she’s still learning how to contain her enthusiasm when giving love, so older kiddos might be her perfect match. Her affection comes in enthusiastic tail wags, happy hops, and the occasional “oops, I love you too much” moment. She’s great with other dogs and would love a canine sidekick for zoomie sessions and shared mischief. Cats? She’s young, adaptable, and open to negotiations — terms TBD. Outdoorsy? Even a little bit? Cindy Lou is ready. She’s got that “where are we going next?” energy wrapped in puppy curiosity and confidence. Ranch walks? Check. Trails? Absolutely. Puddle splashing like it’s a competitive sport? Gold medal performance. Off leash, she checks in like a pro — part loyal companion, part personal accountability partner. After spending far too much of her young life in rescue, Cindy Lou is more than ready for the good stuff: a home, a couch, a routine, a snack schedule, and people who adore her for the joyful, living mood booster she is. 🌟 Cindy Lou’s Highlights: • 10 months old (DOB 2/24/25) * 60lbs • Beautiful girl with a personality just as bright • Great with people & other dogs • Smart, social, and affectionate (Velcro level: elite) • Adventure buddy by day, champion snuggler by night If you’re looking for a dog who will fill your days with laughter, love, and a whole lot of happy chaos, Cindy Lou is ready to lean in and prance right into your heart. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Cindy Lou is ready to start her forever story with you. 🐾💖

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