About Rhea

Rhea (pronounced "Ray-a") is a lovable 4.5-year-old German Shepherd/Great Dane mix currently fostered in Austin, Texas, and ready to find her forever family. Weighing in at 70 pounds, she has been a favorite among volunteers at BARC, thanks to her friendly and laid-back nature with other dogs. Rhea is the type of girl who shines brightest when she's surrounded by people and furry friends. Smart and affectionate, Rhea enjoys her walks and playtime, but she also knows how to relax at home. She has a moderate energy level, making her a perfect companion for both active outings and cozy evenings. Although Rhea has lived with both larger and smaller dogs, she's a bit rough during playtime, so a companion of at least 40 pounds would suit her best. She's house- and crate-trained and sleeps comfortably wherever you prefer — whether that's in a crate or snuggled on a dog bed. Rhea is also good with children, making her a great fit for families with respectful and dog-savvy kids. While she hasn't lived with cats, she has shown a bit of a curious side towards them on walks, so a cat-free environment might be best. Rhea thrives in homes where she can be included in everyday life, making her a delightful Velcro dog who enjoys following you from room to room. She’s treat-motivated and eager to learn more commands, already knowing “come,” “sit,” “lay down,” and “stay.” If you’re looking for a loving companion who desires to be part of the family, Rhea could be the perfect match.
