Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I rescued Rhett as a stray who had been thrown out of a car in rural Ohio and abandoned. After a few weeks on the run, I brought him in as a foster who I hoped would become a permanent family member. Rhett excelled in house training and crate training and is incredibly intelligent, picking up new tricks and habits effortlessly. He was vetted and found to be totally healthy, and is now approximately 2 years old. (He was less than a year when I rescued him a year ago.) Rhett has an abundance of energy for walks, fetch, hiking and swimming and will follow you anywhere. Loves toys and to play with other dogs, kids, and mostly you! I am only rehoming Rhett because my other dog has not adapted well to Rhett and picks fights with him, with Rhett always submitting. I don’t feel it’s fair to have to crate and rotate the two dogs within the house and I know there’s a perfect home out there for Rhett where he can be loose all the time, and maybe even have other dogs to play with!
