My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION.

🤍❄️ Meet Artic — A Gentle Soul with Adventure in His Heart ❄️🤍
(11 Months • ~50 lbs • Male • Full-Time Best Boy)

If loyalty had a face (and four paws), it would look a lot like Artic. This handsome 11-month-old, 50-pound sweetheart is the kind of dog who doesn’t just walk with you — he walks for you, always checking in, always nearby, always quietly making sure his person is okay.

Artic is wonderfully balanced: playful when it’s time to have fun, calm and affectionate when the day winds down. He’s the dog who will happily explore the outdoors with you and then curl up close afterward like, “We did good today.”

🐾 Why Everyone Falls for Artic:
• Excellent with other dogs — friendly, easygoing, and social
• Walks beautifully on or off leash, naturally staying close (no wandering, no drama)
• Loves the water — splashing, wading, and cooling off like a true nature pup
• Affectionate and gentle, with a calm presence that just feels good to be around
• Playful without being overwhelming, snuggly without being needy

At the ranch, Artic’s favorite walks are the ones that head toward the river — where the pace slows, the water sparkles, and he gets to just be a happy dog. He’s not loud about his love, but it runs deep, and once you’re his person, you’re his whole world.

Like his brother, Artic has spent far too much of his puppyhood in rescue, waiting patiently while life passed by. Despite that, he’s remained trusting, sweet, and hopeful — and now it’s time for him to finally experience the joy of a family, a home, and a forever spot on the couch.

Artic would thrive with an outdoorsy person or family who values companionship, quiet loyalty, and shared adventures followed by cozy evenings in.

If you’re looking for a dog who will choose you every single day — without hesitation…

👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Artic is ready to go home. 🐾❄️
