Meet Rango – A Quiet Companion with a Big Heart (and a Squirrel-Chasing Side Hustle)

Rango is a calm, gentle soul with just the right mix of independence and devotion. This 10-pound Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix has been waiting for his perfect match since August, and we think it’s time he finds the quiet, loving home he deserves.

He’s not one for crowds or chaos—Rango prefers a peaceful life. He’d be happiest in a calm household with a couple or individual who enjoys quiet days, sunny garden sits, and low-key neighborhood strolls. He bonds deeply with his people and gives his love in the sweetest, most loyal ways—but he’ll also happily take time to himself, curling up in his crate or finding a quiet corner to rest.

Rango’s mellow nature doesn’t mean he’s lost his spark—far from it. He absolutely lives to chase squirrels, and he’ll zip around the backyard like it’s his job. He also enjoys the occasional game of fetch with a squeaky toy, and you might find him carefully gathering his favorite toys into his bed like little treasures.

Rango is house-trained, crate-trained, and has a routine that works well for him. He can be shy with new people and needs a patient, understanding adopter who can help him feel safe and secure. But once you’re in his circle, his love is unwavering.

If you're looking for a companion who is sweet, a little silly, a little shy, and totally devoted—Rango is ready to meet you.
