For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
This sweet little six-year-old girl sadly finds herself in need of a new forever home. We do not know a lot about her background other than her elderly owners had dementia and were unable to care for her. Their daughter took her in, but she was left alone extended periods and was definitely not getting the attention she loves. One of JoJo's adopters rescued her from that situation and asked us if we can find her a wonderful home.
Trixie is about 15 lbs and we're guessing maybe a Yorkshire Terrier/Chinese Crested Dog based on her looks. Her back is just peach fuzz, like a Chinese Crested mix might be, but her cute little face looks like Yorkie or Mini Schnauzer (depending on her haircut?) It's an unusual mix, but she is lower maintenance than most Yorkies or Schnauzers because she doesn't have so much hair to get matted. She mainly will need face and feet trims to keep up her adorable appearance.
Trixie is a healthy girl, very playful and affectionate. She does have a little funny gait, but it does not seem to bother her at all. We do not know if it is from an early injury, a birth defect, or possibly the onset of a little arthritis (although she seems a little young for that.) Whatever it is, she does not show any sign of pain – she can run and jump just fine – she just has a cute gait when she runs.
Apparently Trixie's prior owners trained her to use pee pads, so she does do that. Her foster family said she is “semi-housetrained” and they are working with her to get her fully used to pottying outside. She is a smart girl and is learning quickly. She gets along with cats as well as dogs of all sizes, although she does find very hyper dogs to be a bit scary.
She will follow you everywhere and loves to cuddle and just sit in your lap, but she wants more interaction and activity in her life than that in order to be her happiest self. We think she would do well with a couple who loves to play with their dog or a family as long as the children are not too young...maybe 8 or older.) She is doing great with the two (much bigger) dogs in her foster home but may get nervous with a hyper dog.
If you are interested in meeting this sweet pup, please email us at jojosdogrescue @gmail.com and we will send you an application, or download one from our website www.jojosdoghouse.com. Adoption fee is $250 and includes spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, and parasite treatment and prevention. Thanks for choosing adoption!

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.
