Rhino - Pit Bull Terrier and English Bulldog Dog for Adoption in Rochester, Minnesota

Meet Rhino - your pocket-sized rhinoceros with a BIG heart

If you've ever dreamed of having your own baby rhino (minus the whole wild animal thing), Rhino is your guy! This pocket bully stands just under 12 inches tall and weighs in at a whopping 37 lbs.! He looks straight out of the prehistoric era, complete with the cutest little rhino stance and the most endearing "charges" you've ever seen! His zoomies? Legendary. His determination? Unmatched. His love? Absolutely overflowing!!!

Rhino has severe congenital musculoskeletal abnormalities and walks on his front carpal joints, but don't tell him that-because it hasn't slowed his spirit one bit! He's full of life, joy, and resilience, and he tackles each day with a "watch me do it anyway" attitude that will melt your heart.

This sweet boy is a Velcro Dog 2.0. Rhino's favorite place is wherever you are. He'll happily follow you from room to room, supervise every task, and curl up nearby just to make sure you don't go anywhere without him. He thrives on companionship and would do best with a homebody who can offer lots of love and reassurance, as he does have some separation anxiety he's working through.

Rhino does fantastic with dogs of all sizes, but prefers calmer companions and a home without young children. Rhino is not usually the most playful type of guy with other dogs and rather co-exists with them, although he does like to play with his humans at times.

Rhino does wear a belly band, but is working hard on potty training, improving every day. He'll need a home with little to no stairs and a patient, compassionate human who can help lift him when needed and support his unique mobility needs.

Despite being built a little differently, Rhino's light shines bright! He doesn't let his differences define him-only his courage, affection, and unstoppable will to love. If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime soul dog who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Rhino is ready to charge straight into your heart!
