❤️ Meet Jarvis — A Survivor With a Heart of Gold 🐾
Please note that we are a foster based rescue in TX. All of our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. We transport them to new states once adopted. **ALL ADOPTERS MUST BE 21+.** Our app can be found at **haydudeequine.org**
Hi, I’m **Jarvis**, and I’m living proof that having a rough start doesn’t have to define your story. ❤️
I’m a **distemper survivor**, and before coming into rescue, I was found as a stray with an absolutely unbelievable group—**18 puppies and two female Great Pyrenees!** We have no idea exactly how I ended up there, but somehow we all found our way to safety.
And now? I’m ready for my happily-ever-after.
My humans call me a **special needs boy**, but honestly, I think I’m pretty darn normal. I walk just fine on a leash, eat like a champ, and get around without any trouble.
I do have one little reminder from my distemper battle: I have a **permanent tic in my back legs that you can see when I’m sitting or lying down**. My legs don't wobble, and it doesn't prevent me from walking or enjoying life—it’s simply a little involuntary movement that I’ll have forever.
Basically, my legs occasionally decide to do their own little dance. 💃🐾
And I say, **let them dance!**
Because I have places to go, people to love, and treats to investigate.
Speaking of people…
**I LOVE PEOPLE.** ❤️
I am an absolute sweetheart and genuinely enjoy being around humans. If you sit down, there is a very good chance I will come over to say hello. If you offer affection, even better. If you have treats?
Well, congratulations. We are now best friends.
I’m also **good with other dogs**, so I’m perfectly happy sharing my world with some canine friends.
What I really need is someone who can see past my little tic and recognize the amazing dog underneath. I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me. I need someone who understands that sometimes special dogs come with a few extra quirks—and those quirks are often what make them even more lovable.
I survived distemper.
I survived life as a stray.
And after everything I've been through, I’m still a **happy, affectionate, people-loving boy.**
That’s pretty special.
Now I’m looking for my forever person—someone who will give me a soft place to sleep, a hand to hold, plenty of love, and maybe a few extra treats for being such a good boy.
**My legs may have a little rhythm of their own, but my heart is perfectly steady.** ❤️
I’m Jarvis.
I’m a survivor, a sweetheart, and I’m ready to be somebody’s very best friend. 🐾
