About Reed

Reed’s story started rough, but he’s hoping his next chapter looks a whole lot brighter. At just over 72 pounds, this brown and white terrier came from a neglected home where daily life meant hunger, poor conditions, and looking out for his own. He’s lived alongside other dogs, especially females, but would also thrive as the only dog in a home. Cats are not a match for him, but children are—Reed genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and people in general. He loves hiking, enjoys car rides, and has a sweet, gentle presence, especially for someone who’s been through so much. Reed is neutered, house trained, and up to date on his vaccines. Born September 4, Reed is a practical and grounded Virgo—a real reliability streak in that smile. If you’re ready to give Reed the home he’s only dreamed about, it’s his turn to know comfort and care. Click apply to start the adoption process.
