Although Rhino is shy at first, he has great qualities you are most likely looking for in a pup. He is very friendly (please allow him time), the sweetest ever, calm, and well-behaved. He likes to play with his foster sisters but also knows when to calm down. He comes to me whenever I call him especially if I call him Rye. He also makes his cute moves by showing his belly; he would sit in front of you to get your attention and to let you know he wants to give extra kisses.
And he has this awkward face that is too funny once you get to know his personality. We laugh when he does it. And of course, He would cuddle with you for as long as you want. He needs a secured yard. He is crate trained and housebroken. He is getting better on the leash, but still get nervous on car rides. I had trouble uploading short videos of him, but do let me know if you want to view them. Or if you have any questions. Thank you for your interest in Rhino...

Special Needs: PLEASE NOTE: Rhino is not a family member to be taken lightly. You must be patient and a loving fur owner/parent to be able to adopt Rhino; he is timid, loyal, and super sweet, but it might take a while for him to warm up considering that he came from what they referred to as a Hempstead Hell Hole.
The adoption fee includes vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a an additional $12.99 fee for Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip.
Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.
It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
NOTE: In our bios, we provide information based on our volunteer's experience with a particular dog; such as temperament, training, and ability to get along with others.
AARF is a 501(c)3 Non Profit, all breed, no kill organization. Our group is always in need of donations in order to continue to give the needed medical care to our rescues. Adoption fees do not begin to cover all of the medical costs. Any donation, no matter how small is a big help and is greatly appreciated. Please help us to continue to help them. Thank you.
