My name is Jojo!

Introducing the one and only Jojo! Can you believe this precious little 5 1/2 girl (pictures make her look bigger) was abandoned left to fend and defend herself in a park? Jojo is a Poodle/Bischon mix (believed to be) that is just a bit special. She was born with cerebellar hypoplasia, which means part of the brain stem is smaller than normal or did not fully develop affecting her motor skills. Don't feel sorry for this little girl as she doesn't let it slow her down one bit! She may run a bit different but she loves to be outside and play with the other dogs! Jojo doesn't do stairs yet, but since she only weighs 5 1/2 lbs. it is no bother to help her. Jojo may also have a bit of sight issues but can definitely see and has no issues motivating around things at all! This issue will NOT affect her lifespan or get any worse, it will jut give her a uniqueness to add to her very loving personality!

Jojo is playful and would need dog companions that are patient and gentle. Jojo LOVES being held and kiss and rocked and would make a perfect companion for someone wanting a cuddle bug. Jojo knows her name, and is crate trained and doing well on potty training if let out frequently and watched. She is smart just like any other 6 mo old puppy since only motor skills are affected.

Jojo will be spayed, is current on vaccinations, microchipped, heart worm negative and kept on monthly preventatives. If you think you can give this sweetheart the home she deserves please visit our website at www.handsofhoperescuecom and fill out an application! (Petfinder is not an appliatiion)
