er in and advocated for her to find a rescue. We had the perfect foster home available, so JoJo became a Worty Dog. This pretty girl is estimated to be about 8 months old and weighs 35 pounds, though she still has a little growing to do. She's currently safe in foster care with Laine, Gary, and their pack of four pups, where she's learning the rules of home life and getting ready for her next chapter. What have we learned about JoJo so far? She is FULL of life. JoJo is naturally confident and affectionate, and doesn't quite understand the concept of personal space. She loves to cuddle up with her foster mom and dog siblings and wants to be involved in everything that's happening around her. She is very much still a puppy—curious, energetic, and eager to explore the world. She is incredibly dog-friendly and has become best friends with her foster brother, Gavin. She loves to play, loves the water, and approaches life with endless enthusiasm. JoJo is always ready for her next adventure and would thrive in an active home with a playful canine companion who shares her love of fun. We don't know much about the first few months of JoJo's life, but we're grateful she found rescue while still so young. It's clear that much of the world is brand new to her. Automatic doors, stores, new people, and new experiences can be a little overwhelming at first, but she's gaining confidence every day and making tremendous progress. Like any young puppy, she's still working on her manners. She's also doing great with potty training, is crate trained, and has a sweet, affectionate side that shines through when she slows down long enough for cuddles. What we love most about JoJo is her zest for life. She's joyful, curious, resilient, and eager to experience everything this world has to offer. After an uncertain start, she finally has the chance to just be a puppy—and she is making the most of it. We hope to bring JoJo to Northern Virginia on 6/20, but we need a foster or foster-to-adopt family to make that happen. APPLY TODAY to learn more about this sweet girl and help her take the next step toward her forever home. BREED ESTIMATE: AmStaff/Red Heeler or Pointer mix (red speckled coat) GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: ~ 35 lbs APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 8 months old COAT TYPE: short ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/spayed/microchipped LOCATION: York County, SC FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to adopt.worthydog and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to foster.worthydog and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
