Jett is a 12-year-old Labrador Retriever in West Monroe, LA, who needs $1,808 for CHOP.

Jett is my boy, my baby, my best friend. He is 90lbs of Labrador love. He’s a handsome 12 year old guy with a sweet & playful puppy spirit, He brings so much, joy, love & companionship to my life. He’s the most loyal creature I’ve ever known. He has a pleasant demeanor & a gentle, calming spirit. His favorite activities are playing ball & walking in the neighborhood. He loves his chuckit balls!!

We play ball inside of the house & outside. Or whatever the chosen toy is. And anyone who comes to visit has to throw the ball for Jett. He has gained attention from the neighborhood kids who absolutely adore him. They call his name and his tail starts wagging & sometimes he’ll even give them a big toothy grin. It warms my heart knowing the joy that Jett brings to everyone, from young to elder.

On 10/26/20 Jett was diagnosed with epithelialotropic lymphoma of the mouth. If untreated, the mass will get bigger, bleed, become painful, interfere with chewing until he stops eating completely. My goal is to help my boy achieve remission & live with dignity. Thank you.

Shortly after getting Jett, I bought our first home. It’s where we still reside today. We love being in the comfort of our home. Life with him has never been dull. He’s been my personal alarm clock from day one. I miss him when I leave & love seeing him when I get home. He’s so glad to see me, too!! I tell him everyday how much I love him & give him lots of kisses. He loves his chin scratched.

I read somewhere recently that dogs need to pick their owners, instead of owners picking the dog. Funny story, Jett was never intended to be mine. He belonged to someone else briefly. They came to visit one day when Jett was just a few months old. Jett & I played & When they were leaving, I said “bye Jett”. He jumped out of the car window & ran to me. He was mine from then on. It was sweet.
