My name is Jojo!

This sweet little guy is looking for a home where his family will understand his needs. Jojo started life in a sad situation, found a perfect home then lost his best friend. He will need a home where is new family understands that sometimes he gets scared of people and their intentions. As he was not allowed to be a puppy and grow up a rambunctious toddler, he is always scared that life will go back to his earlier days.

In his previous home, Jojo was learning to be a dog but still was scared of the confinement aspect or what may be confinement. He tends to gravitate to men but woman are super great too. He is always up for meeting and playing with new friends, although they have to be dog savy as well as sometimes he forgets that not everyone wants to play all the time. He has no prey drive and seems to respect cats, but has never lived with them. Jojo has impeccable house manners and is very respectful of being allowed to roam the home freely. He does not chew, destroy or jump on furniture until he is told that he is allowed. He does love his bed though so that seems to be where he goes when he is tired. Loud noises scare him and he will run to hide, usually to his bed. Kids? Well Jojo loves them the most as they have a ton of energy like him.

Jojo will need to have a home where he has a completely fenced in yard. He likes to go for walks, and is good with his manners to stay close to you on leash. We are learning recall skills but that will take some positive reinforcement. This little guy would love to have a dog friend that he can play with, and it will help with his confidence.

We are waiting for Jojo to have a dental done, which is booked already. If you have previous experience with positive reinforcement training with shy/under-socialized dogs, go to our website to fill out an application. We will review all applications, but only those selected for an interview will be contacted. We will gather applications to review in the new year.
