Jetson was rescued from the Newark, NJ SPCA on January 6th, 2002. As his foster home described him, "Jetson, the handsome two-year-old boy with a thick, luxurious coat, has jettisoned his way into our hearts. He's a saint--I'd like to canonize him!" With that it is hard to imagine his foster home ever giving him up, but they knew his forever home was out there waiting for him.

On February 2nd, 2002, Jetson found his home with the family of many, the Eckert's. Jetson's new family came to the rescue looking for a family dog, their first family dog. Well this was certainly a job for Jetson. Young energetic and eager to be everyone's friend. He got off to a bit of a rocky start, since who knew any family could completely and totally wear a husky out!

A member of TOTTSHR, who was involved in this placement, writes, "On seeing Jetson and his new family after being together for a few weeks now, it is obvious that Jetson loves his new family. All he wanted to do is know where they were."

Thank you to the ENTIRE Eckert family for giving Jetson that special place he can call his home. You have done such a wonderful job with him. We know he appreciates it as much as we do.

Check out how Jetson is doing ... here is an update from his personal in-house trainer and best friend Caitlin.

Hi,
This is Caitlin. I have taken him out for a walk and he doesn't pull me but sometimes when he sees the dog across the street but just a little (it is ok with me)!! Well my Dad just got him two new toys and some liver treats but Jetson already chomped up one of them there was all cotton on the floor and the squeaker doesn't work anymore. Today when I was walking Jetson, Jim (my brother) his car window was open and Jetson just leaped in so I had to open the door and say "come here Jet"! It was funny though!
From, Caitlin
