About Rhian

Meet Rhian, a delightful one-year-old female Terrier and Jack Russell mix who weighs about 13 pounds. She’s a loving companion who quickly attaches to her people and enjoys snuggling in laps or lounging on the couch. A walk is a treat for her, although she can be a bit reactive on a leash, so experience with a leash may help her thrive. Rhian takes some time to warm up to new faces, whether human or canine, but once she finds her comfort zone, she blossoms into a playful and sweet friend. Unfortunately, she does not get along with children, so she needs a home without kids. While she loves having a dog buddy to play with, she could also thrive as an only dog. A secure 6-foot fence is essential, given her agility and jumping skills. Rhian would thrive best in a quiet environment where she can relax and feel secure. This lovely girl has a zest for life, especially when it comes to chasing squeaky toys and enjoying tasty treats. Rhian is looking for a dedicated owner who can see her for the wonderful companion she is, and understands her unique needs. She is crate trained at night and can be left briefly, though she would prefer to be by your side. This beautiful pup is waiting for someone special to bring her home.
