One in a million. A little bit silly. A whole lot of heart.

Some dogs arrive and settle into your home. Rein arrived and immediately made it clear that she belonged. From the moment she stepped off the plane, she was ready to become the beat of our hearts. She found her way not only into our hearts, but into our bed—which, according to Rein, now belongs entirely to her. We are simply fortunate enough to be allowed to sleep there too.

Rein is the perfect combination of sweet, silly, and soulful. Inside the house, she is an absolute angel—quiet, gentle, and happy just being close to her people. But outside, she knows how to have fun and lets her playful side shine through. She has a wonderful balance of calm companionship and joyful personality that makes her such a special part of our family. Truthfully, we never could have known how much our lives needed Rein until she arrived and showed us. She has a way of bringing laughter into everyday moments. Her silly little antics and comical personality can make you laugh out loud, and her ability to make people smile is one of the many things we love most about her.

As a mother, Rein gave everything she had. She was an incredible mama who poured herself into raising her puppies and passed along the qualities we value so deeply: beauty, intelligence, loyalty, and that special “best friend” temperament we strive for at Coyote Creek. She also continues to remind her son Ezra that he is not nearly as important as he thinks he is—approximately 25 times a day. A mother's work is never done. 😉

After giving so much of herself to her puppies and to our program, we decided it was time to give back to Rein.

She is now officially retired and enjoying every moment of being spoiled exactly as she deserves. She has earned every cuddle, every nap, and every bit of attention she so happily receives. If Rein could somehow crawl inside you just to be closer, we have no doubt she would try.

She is affectionate, hilarious, beautiful, and completely irreplaceable.
