About Rhett

Meet Rhett, an adorable 8-month-old scruffy terrier mix who is excited to find his forever home. Weighing in at about 18 pounds, Rhett is a playful and affectionate little guy with a unique personality. His exact breed might be a mystery—maybe a Schnoodle or a terrier mix—but his charm is undeniable. He can be a bit shy at first, often warming up quickly to reveal his loving nature. Rhett enjoys giving kisses and has a special talent for making the cutest little grunting noises when he’s sleepy or trying to coax a play session from his friends. Rhett is great with other dogs and does well with children, showing his playful side with them too. While he can be timid around loud noises or new people, he’s becoming braver every day. He's house-trained and excellent on a leash. Rhett has experienced some separation anxiety since his brother was adopted, initially crying when left alone in his crate, but he's learning to be more independent. This sweet boy is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready for a loving family. Rhett would thrive in an active home where he can be part of the family, get plenty of playtime, and maybe have another playful pup to keep him company. A fenced yard and some kids to run around with would make for his dream setup! Could Rhett be the companion you’ve been looking for? Your new best friend is just one click away!
