ADOPTION STATUS
Lee’s Gold, now known as Rhett, was adopted by Nancy on April 11, 2020. It is such a great match, and we know Rhett will blossom with Nancy and her family, including their pony, mare and gelding.
Nancy said, “It’s amazing how he just fits in with the new surroundings. We belong together, not a doubt in my mind. I’m so in love with him.” Congratulations to Rhett and his wonderful forever family!
