About Rhett

Hello there! My name is Rhett! I'm a handsome 1-year-old Australian Shepherd/Collie mix weighing about 29 pounds. I have a bright smile, a playful heart, and enough enthusiasm to make every day feel like an adventure! If you're looking for a loyal best friend who's always ready for fun, I just might be your guy. I'm a wonderfully social fellow who loves making new friends. I get along great with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine sibling to run, romp, and play with. I also adore people of all ages! I'm especially gentle with kiddos and do wonderfully with the elderly, always making sure to approach everyone with kindness and a wagging tail. I walk nicely on a leash, which makes going on adventures together easy and enjoyable. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a hike through the woods, or a trip to the park, I'm always excited to explore the world right by your side. Playing is one of my favorite hobbies! Balls, squeaky toys, ropes, stuffed toys--you name it, I love it. I'm always happy to entertain myself, but it's even more fun when my favorite humans join in the game.

As an Australian Shepherd/Collie mix, I'm a smart cookie with an active mind. I thrive when I have both physical exercise and mental challenges to keep me busy. Puzzle toys, obedience training, learning new tricks, scent games, agility, or long adventures are all wonderful ways to help me stay happy and prevent boredom. I'm highly intelligent, eager to please, and love having a job to do. The best part? I genuinely enjoy learning! Positive reinforcement, kind encouragement, and a few tasty treats are all it takes to get my tail wagging. With consistency and patience, I'll quickly become an incredibly well-mannered companion who loves making my people proud. Above all else, I'm a happy, affectionate boy who wants nothing more than to be part of a loving family. I'll fill your home with laughter, loyalty, and plenty of happy tail wags for years to come. If you're looking for a fun-loving, intelligent, gentle companion who's ready for every adventure life has to offer, I just might be your perfect match.

Ideal Home

I would thrive in a home where I can receive plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation.

Ongoing Health

All animals at HSO are current on their vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If not already spayed/neutered, there may be a short delay between when you select this pet and when they are ready to go home. Breed and age are determined based on observable physical traits. Actual lineage and birth date are rarely known.

Training & Support

I am an intelligent and eager-to-please dog who enjoys learning. Positive reinforcement, kind encouragement, and tasty treats are the best way to train me. Consistency and patience will help me become a well-mannered companion.
