About Rhea Pups for

Rhea moves at her own quiet pace—steady, calm, and always gentle, just like her name hints. She's a 2-year-old Corgi and German Shepherd mix with a soft black and golden coat and easy, unhurried energy. Life hasn’t always been simple for her; she grew up outdoors, part of a large group from a hoarding case, and nearly everything about being a proper house dog is still new. Yet she's already mastered 'outside' and 'crate,' and she's working hard at the rest. Rhea is sweet and laid-back, shy at first, but eager to please and deeply willing to bond with people who offer patience and gentle guidance. She gets along well with other dogs and older kids. Another calm, confident dog would help her learn how to settle into indoor life. A fenced yard is a must while she adjusts and builds confidence. She needs a quiet, steady home with adopters who see her potential and will give her both space and support to gain new confidence. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
