About Reed

Meet Reed, a 6-month-old Terrier pup currently in a foster home in San Antonio, TX. Weighing around 15 pounds, Reed is a shy little guy still learning how to trust people. He came to us with his mom and siblings, having had limited exposure to the wonders of the world. While his timid nature makes him hesitate to seek affection right away, there's a loving spirit within him waiting to bloom. Reed needs a patient adopter with experience in building trust with shy or under-socialized pups. This journey will require gentle encouragement, time, and the celebration of small milestones. The ideal home for Reed will understand that love grows gradually and that sometimes reassurance is all it takes to help him thrive. He's great with dogs and kids, making him a potential fit for a family environment. If you have an open heart and the willingness to help Reed discover the joys of life, he's ready to make that journey with you. Please remember that adopting a puppy means a lifelong commitment to his care and happiness. Reed's adoption fee will help cover his neuter surgery and vaccinations among other needs. If you're ready for a loving companion who just needs a little extra time to shine, Reed is waiting for you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
