Jetty

3 months, Male, Small

WISE is entirely volunteer-run and all of the donations made to our rescue go directly back to the animals in our care. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save animals’ lives and restore them back to health. While some animals only need standard care, others require more extensive veterinary or behavioral care. 

Regardless of which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with a minimum donation of $850. The donation may or may not be directly applied to care of the dog you're adopting but rather goes toward supporting all of the dogs in the rescue. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying.

NAME: Jetty

BREED:  Shih Tzu x Maltese mix

DOB:  Mar 11, 2025 (13 weeks)

Home Recommendation:Jetty is a young pup who will thrive with an adopter who is home more often than not and can dedicate time to his puppy training, playtime, and socialization.

Personality: Jetty is a total social butterfly who adores everyone he meets! He’s eager to please and makes the perfect little sidekick. Whether he’s curled up in your lap or busy entertaining himself with toys, Jetty is a happy-go-lucky pup. He loves romping around the yard and playing with his siblings, always bringing a dose of joy wherever he goes.

KIDS: Yes

DOGS: Yes

CATS: Yes

TRAINING:Jetty is currently working on his crate and potty training and is making good progress. He’s learning to walk on a leash and, with continued practice and consistency, will catch on quickly. He’s a smart boy who responds well to structure and routine.

WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Puppy mills overbreed to the point where they produce more dogs than they can sell. Dogs like Jetty were rejected for reasons ranging from birth defects, being born with the wrong color fur or eyes, or just simply because no one wanted to purchase them. When the dogs are not sold, the puppy mills destroy them, and it is legal to do so. WISE has recently partnered with a group to save these unwanted dogs - healthy, unhealthy, and/or with birth defects - who are destined to be killed for no reason.
