R is for Rhino

Let me introduce everyone to Rhino.

Rhino is almost 2 years old. He is a Beagle.

Rhino came to our home initally as a foster dog. Scott and I realized that we had a tendency to always want new animals, which is why we have six, so we thought if we became foster parents we could satisfy our desire to have new animals in our home and at the same time help an animal in need. However, that plan didn't work too well because I quickly fell in love with Rhino and the idea of giving him up was too much. So we decide to adopt him.

Rhino was found on the side of the road and taken to the shelter. I am pretty sure he was abused pretty bad at some point in time because when he first came to our home he was scared to death and wouldn't go near Scott. Over time he has gotten better. He will cuddle by Scott on the couch and is much better around new people; however, he still is very jumpy and will freak out over the smallest thing (i.e. an empty water bottle falling on the floor).

Rhino came to us with his name and since he was going to be a foster, we decided to keep it and then once we adopted him we were so used to the name that we kept it. Some of his nicknames include Rhinox, Nox, Noxasaurousrex, and Rhinox the Destroyer.

Rhino is really good friends with Tempe and they love to play and wrestle together. He also loves to play outside with Scott. He will run around Scott and howl at him. It's hilarious!!!
