Rhyli - Standard Poodle and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Mankato, Minnesota

Rhyli came to BENCHS from another shelter with his brother, Bayli, and he is ready to find a family to call his own. At just over a year old, he is all teenager, full of curiosity, energy, and personality. He loves to romp around, explore, and is always looking for his next adventure.

Rhyli is a smart boy who is just beginning to learn the ropes. He has recently started clicker training and is enjoying the challenge of learning new skills. Like many young dogs, he is still working on his manners and learning appropriate boundaries. Because of his enthusiasm and strength, he would do best with a confident, consistent handler who can continue building on his training in a positive way.

We are unsure what breed Rhyli is, but he has a medium length coat that does shed. He would likely be a little more allergy friendly than a typical heavy shedding breed. He enjoys playing with toys, chewing on bones, and would thrive in an active home that can provide plenty of exercise and mental enrichment.

Since we are unsure whether Rhyli has ever lived in a home before, he may need patience as he learns potty training and household routines. He previously lived with his brother and enjoyed having a canine companion, so we believe he could do well with another dog following a slow and thoughtful introduction.

Because Rhyli is still learning boundaries and can be a bit exuberant, he would do best in a home without very small children or elderly family members. With continued training, structure, and lots of love, this goofy young dog has all the potential to grow into an incredible lifelong companion.

If you're looking for a fun, active best friend who is eager to learn and ready for his next chapter, Rhyli just might be your perfect match.
