About Jojo

Jojo is a young Shih Tzu with a real zest for life. He adores snuggles, kisses, and belly rubs, and is on the lookout for a home that can provide these along with the occasional treat. Born in June 2025, Jojo has a friendly personality and loves to cuddle in bed with his humans or play with his toys. Though he’s dog-friendly and eager to make friends, the other dog in his current home hasn’t reciprocated. That said, Jojo would thrive with a canine buddy who could keep up with his playful spirit. It’s essential for him to engage in activities that allow him to be active and enjoy life to the fullest. A personal space during mealtime is a must since he prefers his meals all to himself. House and leash trained, Jojo is also a fetch enthusiast, although he would benefit from further training to refine his skills. This lovable companion needs someone who’ll let him shine as the best version of himself, and in return, he’ll be your devoted lap dog, ready to bestow kisses. The suggested adoption donation for Jojo is $585, which includes ongoing behavioral training. He’s currently in Council Bluffs, IA, and it’s crucial to meet him in person for potential adopters. Jojo is waiting for someone to give him a chance to blossom! Start your journey together! Apply now.
