My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Denali came to us as part of a litter in February, 2023, when she was 8 weeks old. She was adopted as a young puppy, but came back to JoJo's because of an ongoing health issue they were unable to figure out. Our vet correctly diagnosed it as a hormonal issue that we resolved by allowing her to have one heat cycle before she was spayed and she is completely healthy now -- but for all of that time she remained in foster care as we wanted to be sure she was completely healthy before allowing her to be adopted. It's been a long wait for Denali to get to start her forever life with her very own person, but she is more than ready now.

Denali is full-grown at 38-40 lbs -- a nice, compact size. Based on DNA results provided by one of her siblings, she is a wide-mix of breeds -- primarily Lab/Boxer but also a sprinkling of Great Pyrenees, Collie, and 37% "breed groups" -- whatever that is!

Denali can get along with other dogs of all sizes --and has in her foster home -- but occasionally she will get too rough or bossy. We feel like she would do best in a one (or two) person home, where she can be your best friend and active playmate and not have to compete with other dogs for your attention..

She loves to play and would enjoy going on adventures with you. She's a great car rider and overall happy girl when she's out and about with us. She is very athletic and can scale fences amazingly. Her foster home has wire fencing and no matter how high it didn't stop her from getting out. Finally electrifying the fence worked and she no longer got out. Denali doesn't seem to want to get out of the fence to run off -- she always stayed right around the house when she got outside of the fence. It seems like she does it just because it is fun and she can. So whoever adopts her will need to either keep her on a leash with you or have a secure (even electric) fence that she can't escape. She may not be able to get out of standard 6 foot privacy fencing -- we haven't had a way to test that. She would be great for off-leash walks -- she doesn't try to run off at all if she is with us...she just goes escaping and exploring when left alone in the yard.

After adventuring with you, there would be nothing Denali would love more than to share a snack and settle in for some snuggling. She's such a great people dog.

If you think you might want to give this uniquely wonderful girl a home, please email jojosdogrescue@gmail.com and we will send you an application, or visit our website: www.jojosdoghouse.com and download one. Adoption fee is $250, which includes spay, up-to-date vaccinations, parasite treatment and prevention, and microchip with lifetime registration.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

We are foster based, so meet and greets are set up after approval. Email applications to jojosdogrescue@gmail.com

2.

Approve Application

We are pretty much a two-person operation, but usually our application review process is fast -- often the same day as received.

3.

Meet the Pet

With application pre-approved, adopters are able to take a pup home from their meet and greet if they are ready and the pup is old enough

Additional adoption info

We have an application process and we will check vet and personal references (usually takes only 1-2 days). There is also an adoption contract and fee which helps to cover vet and other expenses. The contract is designed to ensure the dog is cared for in all ways and if you are ever unable to care for the dog, re-homing is approved by us. If the dog is too young to be spayed/neutered before going home, you will also sign a document committing to having the dog fixed and the rescue will follow up.
