My story

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

Jet is a sweet and gentle 3-year-old pup who’s looking for a second chance at a loving home. His journey to the shelter wasn’t an easy one - his beloved owner passed away in March 2025, and with no family able to take him in, Jet suddenly found himself here. While he was understandably sad and confused at first, his warm and friendly personality quickly began to shine through. Jet has become a true favorite of the staff and volunteers. He absolutely adores people, greets everyone with tail wags, and has a playful side that comes out when he’s chasing the water hose (his favorite game!). He’s also a master of relaxation and can happily nap the day away on a comfy bed after a nice walk.

What makes Jet extra special is how easygoing and adaptable he is. He’s happy to join in the fun but just as content to enjoy quiet time with his people. He’s the kind of dog who fits right into your life and makes it better simply by being there.
Here are a few things to know about Jet:
✅ Potty trained
✅ Sleeps well in a kennel
✅ Great on walks and enjoys exploring
✅ Loves people and does well with other dogs
✅ Playful but also a big fan of naps and downtime
✅ Treat-motivated (and very polite about it!)

Although he’s deeply loved by the shelter staff, it’s clear that Jet isn’t thriving in the shelter environment. He would do so much better in a cozy home where he can feel safe and settled, whether that’s through adoption or even a temporary foster situation. Jet is ready to give his whole heart to someone new. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion who will bring both joy and comfort to your life, Jet could be the perfect match.
