In the shelter’s words

MEET RYLO! 9 months old Chihuahua / Border Terrier mix Male 19 lbs Sweet, playful & full of love! Meet Rylo , an adorable 9-month-old pup with a BIG personality packed into his little 19-pound body! Rylo is a happy, energetic, affectionate boy who loves being around his people. He has tons of love to give and is always ready for cuddles, kisses, playtime, and adventures. Rylo is very friendly and playful and would love a home where he has plenty of room to burn off his puppy energy. A home with a yard would be wonderful for him, or he may enjoy having another playful dog around to keep him company and help tire him out! ❤️ ABOUT RYLO: Friendly, affectionate, and playful High-energy and loves to run and play Loves cuddling and sleeping with his people Could enjoy having a playful dog friend Has lived in apartments before, but would love more space Surprisingly loves bath time and is super easy to bathe! Smart and a quick learner Sweet-natured and not aggressive Rylo is still working on his potty training . His previous home allowed him to potty indoors and on the balcony, so he is learning a completely new routine. He is making progress, but his future family will need to continue working with him, give him frequent potty breaks, and be patient while he learns. He may also have an occasional excited pee when he gets really happy. Cats: Rylo has been living with three cats. He means them no harm, but when he gets excited, he wants to jump, run, and play, which can be overwhelming for cats. A home without cats may be the easiest fit unless the cats are confident and accustomed to energetic dogs. People & Kids: Rylo does well with people. He can sometimes bark when meeting someone new or around young children, but he responds well to correction and has already been improving. He can actually be a bit of a scaredy-cat himself sometimes! Underneath all that puppy excitement is a very sweet boy who wants to feel safe and loved. Rylo’s current family loves him and hoped they could make things work, but living in a one-bedroom apartment with three cats simply isn’t the best environment for his energetic personality. They want to find him a home where he can run, play, continue learning, and get all the love and attention he deserves. ❤️ Rylo is still just a puppy with so much potential. With some consistency, patience, exercise, and continued training, he is going to make an amazing companion. Interested in giving Rylo his forever home? Contact Shabrin at 510-666-5933
