My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say hello to Jethro, a ten year-old male chihuahua who still has plenty of energy and love to give.
Jethro is a sweet boy who loves everyone he meets. He has a bit of a swagger to his walk, and likes to strut his stuff on short walks and then take long naps. He went camping with his foster family recently, and had a ball exploring the wilds. Jethro was found as a stray, so his history is unknown, but we do know he is ready for his forever family. He is good with other dogs, but has not been tested around cats. He's so mellow that we're guessing he'd be okay, but that should be tested before committing to him. He'll also be fine with older children.

During his neuter surgery, the vet discovered that Jethro had testicular cancer. He is cancer free now, but there is a chance it could recur, so his new family will need to keep a close eye on his lymph
nodes.

He recently had a dental and lost all but three of his teeth. He still eats really well, but does prefer soft food. He sleeps well in a crate, and uses the dog door almost all the time. He is pretty quiet for a small dog, so nothing to worry about with close neighbors. He also has the downward dog pose mastered and you will be amazed at how fast my tail wags when he does it. He really is a mellow guy who loves to hang with his people. He would be a great addition to any family.

If you feel your family is the right match for the cuteness that is Jethro, please fill out an adoption application at UAAF.org. If you have questions, call / text Kirsty at (435) 671-0985 or email Kirsty.ju@gmail.com.
