Rhett Husky & Pug Mix Nashville, TN

Meet Rhett. This little guy is kind of dorky looking in that awkward sixth grade class picture kind of way. It's not often you get to see a blue-eyed husky pug cross and he certainly is a conversation piece. Rhedd gets along well with other dogs and is quite playful. He is OK with cats but likes to chase them. Cats despise him so it's probably best to be feline free. Rhedd is great with people of all ages. He has been hanging with Great Pyrenees and was trying to practice mournful, sad looks of starvation to get extra treats but when your eyes make you look possessed (they are really that blue) it's pretty hard to get anyone to notice you are trying to suck in your puppy gut. Rhedd is not large at 40 pounds or so and he is practically hamster-sized in this rescue. He is medium energy and loves to play but is perfectly happy to collapse on your sofa. Your call on that. This is a truly great dog.

Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process.

All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be.

Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:
1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).
2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.
3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.
4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.
Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.
Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.

All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training.
Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
