About Jethro
Jethro has lived through things most dogs never face. He spent years outside, forgotten in the Texas heat, until neglect and abandonment finally led to rescue. Now safe in Michigan, he’s relaxed, affectionate, and happiest curled up on a soft couch. Despite a heart murmur and surviving a close call during his neuter surgery (he literally died under anesthesia, but the vet staff brought him back), Jethro stays upbeat and hopeful. He’s heartworm positive, but treatment is covered and continues in his new home—just a slower protocol suited for his condition. This dog has grit and a goofy side, and after everything, he still greets people with a wag and a big heart. Jethro is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and on preventatives. He doesn’t get along with cats or other dogs, but he does fine with children and would do best as the only pet. Adopters need an approved application, photos of their home or yard, and must come in person for a meet and greet. Click apply to start the adoption process.
