Meet Jethro

Hello there, my name's Jethro, Jett for short! My two siblings and I were born while in rescue and my DNA panel says we're Chihuahua, Pit Bull, Mini Schnauzer, and Toy Poodle. A lot going on there, I know, and while I don't think I look like most of those I sure do think it's fun to have humans try to guess my breeds. I personally think I am part Giraffe because my legs are so long! I also have beautiful markings (someone called it a reverse brindle) and the sweetest brown, puppy eyes. My tail never stops wagging and sometimes my whole body flips and twists when I'm excited!I'm currently 6 months old and about 25 pounds. They don't think I will get too much bigger, but I might get a little wider. I think I am a perfect match for someone looking to add a small dog with a big personality to their home!My favorite things to do are running around with toys, playing with other dogs of all sizes, and snuggling with my foster mom. I also met some cats, and I am cool sharing space with them! My foster mom shared that I am super social and adaptable to new things. I think that means that I like meeting people and going places and she's right! Especially when there are treats involved - yum! I also enjoy going for car rides and am really good in the back seat, so I don't get car sick.My foster mom has been teaching me so many new things like "sit" (I've got that down) and "don't jump" (still working on that one because I am such a happy dog). I am also working on my leash manners and while I still have the occasional accident in the house, I am trying really hard to only go outside. Fun fact: I love making pillow dens with ALL of my foster mom's pillows - she isn't keen on me doing that but if I pretend to be asleep when she notices that I have, she indulges me and lets me stay snuggled up in my pillow fort I have made for myself. Oh! And I also love hanging out and snuggling with my foster sister.So, that's me! I love my foster mom and foster sister, but I am also really excited to find my forever family. If you think we might be a match, fill out an application at the link below. I can't wait to meet you!
