Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This sweet girl is Jet. She is a 2 year old lab/pointer mix. She weighs in just shy of 50 pounds. Jet came to Rover Rescue pregnant. She delivered 9 healthy puppies who have found homes of their own. It is now momma’s turn to take it easy and find her forever family.
Jet is adjusting great to being a house dog. She is house trained and will whine when she wants to go outside. We do crate her when leaving the house and at night. Jet can get vocal in the crate, but with some work, yummy treats, and classical music she is doing much better. Jet does like to bark, she loves to watch out the window and let us know if anyone is passing by. For this reason I do not think she would be suited to an apartment.
Jet has a bunch of energy. She loves to run in the back yard. We were told she may be a fence jumper, but so far she has stayed in our 4 foot fence. We do not let her out unsupervised. If she gets interested in what’s on the other side a little redirection with toys works great.
Jet would make a great activity buddy. She does really well in the car. She is still learning leash manners, but is doing ok. We went to Dog Day at the Morton Arboretum and overall she listened pretty well. The East Walk harness works wonders on her.
Jet loves other dogs. She will try to make friends with any dog she meets (whether they want to or not). She loves to wrestle and play tag. She will also wave toys in front of them to entice them to play. She loves all sorts of dog toys!
Jet would do best in a home without cats or small critters.
Jet has met several kids at adoption events. She has done well. She may be a little too rambunctious for really small children.
We are working on manners. Jet does like to jump up. She will also play nip, we are working on curbing these behaviors. She has not tried counter surfing, but she does get really interested when we are eating.
Jet is really a great dog. She is so sweet. She loves absolutely everyone she meets. She is quite the character and makes us laugh daily with her antics. As long as she has an outlet for her energy, she will settle in at night to watch tv. Please consider adding this amazing girl to your family.
If you would like to meet Jet, please call Annie at 815-685-0746. Her adoption fee is $225.
