JOJO - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet JoJo - NEEDS A FOSTER This adorable puppy was found roaming alone in Chester. Thankfully, a kind-hearted Good Samaritan took her 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.
