About Rhett

Rhett is a unique pup with a selective taste in friends, making him particular about his dog interactions. If you think he’s adorable and want to meet him, it's recommended to bring your current dog for a meet and greet to see if they hit it off. This handsome fellow takes his time warming up to new people, but once he does, you’ll discover just how amazing he can be. He really shines when given the opportunity to bond, so patience is key. Introductions to family members should happen gradually. The adoption team is here to provide guidance on how to make the transition as smooth as possible. Rhett would love to meet you! The Adoption Center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12 PM to 4:30 PM, and no appointments are necessary for adoptions. Isn’t it time you gave him a chance?
