What you see is what you get here, and what you get is a gorgeous boy with the perfect side of goofy! His name is Jet Jethro, his friends call him Jetty, and he will pull you in with those soulful eyes and mohawk hair, then immediately show you his goofy side and it is basically a 1-2 combo that never fails.
Before you read too far, take a moment to watch Jet’s video and see his personality come through on screen, then come back to get to know him a bit more.
👉 https://youtu.be/Oh23nil74BQ
Estimated to be around 2 years old and weighing about 65 pounds, Jet is a striking guy. We don’t have a clue what his breed is (or his birthday) given he is a rescue, but we’re putting our money on some kind of boutique doodle/ lab/ setter mix. You can decide for yourself. The fur, the strong face, the long lines, whatever he is, I am in love. The cherry on top is that very honest sparkle of joy you can see in his eyes the moment you meet him. He loves people and loves to give kisses.
Jet is affectionate to his core and absolutely people-oriented. He knows no strangers and treats every new human like a long-lost friend he is beyond thrilled to see. When meeting people, he leans in hard, hands out kisses freely, and will roll onto his back at the first sign of a belly rub possibility. The invitation to love stands with Jet. If there’s a room full of people, Jet will politely rotate through them all, making sure no one feels left out. He settles nicely indoors, but if there’s movement nearby, he’s up and ready to see if he can help or if by chance, affection is being handed out.
On leash, Jet is still practicing containing all that joy. In other words, his leash skills are a work in progress. He’s happy and curious, and just gets mixed up in where he wants to be going, from lovingly by your side to leader of the adventure. He responds so well to guidance and he is a fast learner, but will need consistent practice and a dog-savvy person willing to help him keep his rhythm. Once that clicks, he is a dream adventure buddy.
Dog-wise, Jet did wonderfully. He meets other dogs politely on leash and hasn’t shown any pulling or frustration. Once leashes are dropped, he roams calmly with the group, coexisting easily. He hasn’t shown us a particularly playful side yet, but we can see that changing once he settles into the rhythm and makes a connection with a playful friend. Jet would do well with a medium-energy dog companion who enjoys some movement and play but won’t overwhelm him in an attempt to get him to play. Jet is a no-cat guy. His interest when he met our house cat was a bit too strong, and given his size, if he were to chase a house cat, he would cause some chaos.
Jet will do best with an active person or household that enjoys movement, visitors, and connection. A busy home with people coming and going would suit him beautifully. Apartment living could be a possibility for the right adopter committed to daily exercise, continued leash training, and mental enrichment. More than anything, Jet needs someone who understands young, goofy dogs and can help him learn all about the big-wide world.
Jetty is perfect for a home with adults or older teens that love puppy kisses and a loyal boy!
Sweet, affectionate, and charmingly goofy, Jet is the kind of dog who will happily join you on any outing, soak up attention wherever he goes, and make you and yours laugh daily.
With you by his side, this boy is going to shine even brighter than he already does.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
