Story
Jet came into rescue because his family worked a lot and they didn't feel that they could give him what he needed. Jet is approx 7 months old and we were told that he is a goldendoodle/German short-haired pointer mix (he looks mostly goldendoodle).Jet is a happy, playful boy who absolutely loves the water. He is always looking to get wet, loves the garden hose and is just at home where there is water. He would do great at the beach or swimming in your pool! Jet is pretty much housebroken here and is also crate trained, although he does not like being crated much. Jet does love to chew so appropriate toys to keep him busy and distracted from chewing other things. Jet loves playing with other dogs and is good with kids. He can get rambunctious and domineering at times but calms when corrected. He weighed 37.5 pounds when we had him neutered on 5/26/26. He tested negative for heartworms but was positive for hookworms and coccidia, which we treated him for. He also started Simparica Trio for heartworm prevention and flea control.
Now for the results we weren't expecting. When the vet neutered him, she stated that he was a cryptorchid (meaning he retained one testicle and she had to open him up to neuter him). At that time, she noticed that his testicles were abnormally small and when she cut, a fluid leaked out, which she suspected was possibly diluted urine. She stated that it appeared that they looked like they were connected so she removed the testicle and completed a closed castration. The vet stated that she had only seen something similar one other time and recommended a scan, which we will be doing once we get the extra $80 to perform it. At this time, we do not know exactly what is going on and that is what the scan should determine. Jet may need an expensive surgery to correct his issue. We suspect it may be an ectopic ureter (after googling the info we were given about his condition) but again, that is not yet confirmed. Vet stated this is, most likely, genetic.We may be asking for help for Jet, if it's determined that he does require a surgery to correct this rare issue. Jet continues to be his happy, bouncy, playful self and does not seem to be suffering any ill effects at this time however, the vet did believe that if this suspected condition is not corrected, he could have problems down the road. We hope to eliminate that possibility and give Jet a long, happy life!
If interested in giving Jet his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Jet's adoption fee will be $300 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will determine whether the applicant would be a good fit for Jet based on the info provided in the application. If we feel that you will be a good match for him, we will set up a meet and greet appointment with you.
