Jojo is a 4-year-old neutered male weighing about 54 pounds who is looking for a foster home where he can settle in and show us more about who he is outside of the shelter.

From what we have seen so far, Jojo is a fairly low key, easygoing dog. Shelter staff report that he handles routine care well, including nail trims and basic grooming, and we have not seen any handling concerns with him.

About Jojo

Jojo previously lived in a home and came to the shelter when his family struggled to safely manage interactions between him and their toddler. According to his former owners, he nipped at their 2-year-old during boundary issues, but the nips never broke skin. Because of this history, Jojo would be best placed in a home without very young children.

They reported that he did well with their two older children.

Jojo is house trained and crate trained, and his previous owners report that he does not have accidents in the house.

Dog and Cat Compatibility

Jojo’s former family reports that he does well with other dogs.

He has not lived with cats, so a home without cats or a foster comfortable managing slow introductions would be best.

Ideal Foster Home

Jojo may be a good fit for a variety of homes, but we are currently looking for a foster home that has:

• No toddlers or very young children
• A calm environment where he can settle in
• Potentially another dog, though it is not required

Why He Needs a Foster

Like many dogs, Jojo will benefit from time in a home environment where we can learn more about his personality and help set him up for success in a future adoptive home.

A foster home allows us to better understand how he behaves outside the shelter and helps him relax while he waits for the right permanent family.

If you can open your home to Jojo, even temporarily, you can help give him the stability and breathing room he needs.
