NANAIMO — Rhino is a little guy with a big name and a big personality to match.

This two-year-old Chihuahua mix loves to spend time outdoors with his people and gets very sad when left alone.

He has to go to a patient home with no other pets or children, as he can be very protective of his owners.

He’s still mastering potty training, and the vet suspects his wobbly walk is due to a possible intervertebral disc disease, but his daily meds keep him pain-free.
