JoJo - Collie / Greyhound / Mixed (short coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

eventative and is microchipped. Meet JoJo! We think JoJo is a collie/greyhound mix, but we do know JoJo is one of 3 puppies that were left in someone's yard in June 2016. His 2 siblings got adopted quickly, but JoJo has unfortunately not been as lucky. He spent two years at our southern partner's shelter and as much as they did all they could for him, a shelter is never the ideal place for a dog. Spending two years at a shelter has really shaken JoJo's self esteem and how can you blame him. He's been in two foster homes since February 2018 and is doing better, but we are hoping that someone will see JoJo's wonderful spirit shine through his shyness and make him a forever home in the northeast. As with all of our rescues, we think of George Browning's poem excerpt, "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be!" And this is especially true of JoJo. JoJo does great with other dogs and in fact, that's when you can see his personality shine. We think he'd be great with another balanced canine family member. He's currently living with a few other dogs and a chicken and he's even left the chicken alone, even though he's a bit interested in it. He hasn't been tested with cats or children, but due to his shyness, a busy household is not likely ideal. He is playful, respects corrections, but is a little cautious with new situations and new people. JoJo does love rides in the car and jumps eagerly in, waiting for his current foster mom to shut the door. He's brushing up on his canine good citizen skills. He is working on his housetraining skills (he's had a few accidents) and his leash walking skills. He does not do well in thunderstorms, especially in a crate and will likely do damage to the crate and maybe to himself as well. But he does do well being comforted by a human friend, when the winds and rains are raging outside. We think to build his confidence, obedience classes would be a great idea. Plus, it'll help form a bond between JoJo and his forever family members. While a yard is a good place for some dogs to get exercise, JoJo doesn't like to be left alone so long walks are better and he's doing well with long walks with his current foster. After that, he's a pretty chill dog. His foster says that JoJo has an awesome smirk - that whenever he's happy, he scrunches his nose. We hope that his forever home will give him a thousand reasons to smile more so we can see that face. If you can accept JoJo's shyness and are interested in bringing out his smiles and providing him a forever home, fill out an application and an adoption counselor will get in touch.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
