About Jolene

Jolene (also known as JoJo) is all about low-to-the-ground charisma and big-hearted companionship. At just over two years old, she's mastered house and crate training, but her real dream is curling up next to you for downtime. She's a one-of-a-kind character: quick with a happy tooth-click when the mood strikes, and always ready to make you laugh. Toys and treats keep her engaged, and she’s an eager walker who enjoys car rides and gentle adventures. Snacks are her love language, so her new family will find it easy to work on recall and polish her basic manners, especially since she’s already off to a solid start. Jolene does well with kids and, while she hasn't met toddlers recently, she’s handled family life like a pro with older children. Courteous with cats and comfortable around friendly dogs (with proper, slow introductions), Jolene prefers mellow company over chaotic energy. She thrives on attention, affection, and routines. If you’re searching for a loving, gently quirky companion who lifts the mood with a single grin, Jolene could be the one. Jolene is fostered in Eau Claire, WI and available for adoption in Alma, WI.
