About Jolene

Jolene came north from an overcrowded South Carolina shelter, but you'd never guess her rough start from how she acts now. At just four months old, this mixed-breed hound and pit bull puppy loves exploring, playing, and soaking up attention from anyone she meets. Her days in foster care are full of puppy antics and learning—she's working on potty and crate training, figuring out manners, and discovering the world with youthful curiosity. She’s being consciously socialized with other dogs and is thriving, and her foster thinks she’ll do just fine with cats as long as introductions are careful and slow. Jolene’s looking for a patient, structured family ready for everything puppy: some chewed shoes, a few accidents, plenty of laughter, and loyal companionship. Once adopted, she'll be spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. She’s ready to settle into her forever home and give back a lifetime of affection. Fun fact: Jolene's Capricorn sun might make her extra determined as she grows! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
