Meet RHETT


"Well, I imagine you are intrigued by my name and rightly so!! You see, I am cool, suave and just as charming as Clark Gable was as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind so they decided to name me Rhett!!  Wow, how lucky can I be to be named after a famous movie star and also be an exceptionally charming Golden boy!! Some guys have all the luck!!


You see, I had quite a scare when that big white truck rolled close to me-you know the one from Animal Control.  Well, I didn't like riding in it one bit and told them so by barking but after I arrived at the shelter, they were really nice and gave me some good food and a clean place to lay my head. Well, after so many days, I was kinda scared because my master didn't come to get me like I thought he would so I just laid around and waited. One day, the GREAT lady came and said, RHETT, we are going to get you outta here and into a forever home!  Wow, I really turned on the charm then because I knew good things were in store for me now.


So, off I went to visit their Vet who was really nice and pretty too-she liked me as well and thought I really lived up to my name.  So here is what she said-I am heartworm negative, have all my vaccinations, am neutered, wormed, micro-chipped and quite the handsome boy. I do have some seizures so am taking very inexpensive medicine to control them and I'm doing great on it!.  I am a Golden Retriever mix with a nice, nice coat, beautiful tail, and quite handsome face as you can see from my photo. I'm only 70 lbs so not really too big and just the right age at 6 years old to not cause a lot of trouble but young enough to still be loads of fun too!


I was adopted for a short while but a crazy large bird nested in the wildlife preserve by my yard and it made horrible loud screeching noises which really bothered me. They couldn't find it and so my family decided it best that I return to GREAT and a family that could provide a nice quiet environment which would keep me from having seizures. I am so sweet and loving, and I get along great with all other dogs. I totally avoid confrontation and will just walk away if another dog growls at me. I am not too good with cats though. I love riding in the car,and love to run, play and be happy. Life is good and I am enjoying it to the max. I am energetic and extremely agile. . The vet techs nicknamed me "Jumping Bean" as I can jump about 3 feet high in the air from a standing position. All in all, I am just a lover boy, full of joy, and love and live life to the fullest. 


My ideal family is a family with older children or a single or couple who have a quiet and settled home. I do need a large fenced in yard where I can run off all of my energy. As a matter of fact, if there is a shady porch, lots of trees or a big dog house, I'd be perfectly happy to spend my days outdoors.  If you are interested, will you please fill out an application by going to the GREAT Website at www.greatrescue.org and mention my name, RHETT, the good looking one!!"
