Here's what the humans have to say about me:
JO JO***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabreacue.com JO JO'S STORY-- WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTER IN THE SOUTH LETTING US KNOW THAT THE MOST GORGEOUS "GOLDEN" FELLOW WAS IN HER SHELTER. A FAMILY HAD JUST SURRENDERED JO JO TO HER SHELTER, THEY WALKED INTO THE SHELTER, TIED JO JO TO A POLE, COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK GIVING HIM UP AND WHEN THE SHELTER DIRECTOR ASK WHY THEY WEREN'T KEEPING JOJO THEY REPLIED 'WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR HIM, WE DON'T WANT A DOG"!!!. THE FAMILY THEN TURNED AND LEFT, THE SADDEST PART THEY NEVER EVEN SAID GOOD BYE TO JO JO. THE DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT JO JO STOOD AT THE SHELTER WINDOW WAGGING HIS TAIL AS IF HE KNEW HIS FAMILY WAS COMING BACK FOR HIM AND WHEN HE COULD NO LONGER SEE THEM, HE LOWERED HIS HEAD, HIS TAIL STOPPED WAGGING. THE SHELTER WAS BEYOND FULL, THE SITUATION WAS URGENT. "THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE SWEETEST DOGS EVER. HE IS BEYOND GORGEOUS AND JUST A LOVING, GENTLE GENTLEMAN, HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE. CAN YOU HELP HIM?" WAS HER PLEA TO US. THE MINUTE WE HEARD ABOUT JO JO AND SAW THE PICTURE SHE SENT US WE COULDN'T GET TO HIM FAST ENOUGH. JO JO LEFT THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY, HIS OTTER TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING, ALL READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE. JO JO IS A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, 2 YEAR OLD, YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER WE ALSO FEEL THERE JUST MIGHT BE A HINT OF GOLDEN RETRIEVER IN JO JO'S FAMILY TREE, TWO GREAT BREEDS, ONE "GREAT" PUP!!!. WHEN YOU FIRST SEE JO JO HE WILL STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, HIS COAT IS FLAWLESS, A WARM SUN KISSED GOLDEN COLOR!!! HIS GORGEOUS HEAD IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES, THEY ARE HUGE, A RICH, DEEP CHESTNUT COLOR, WITH A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "LOVE ME" IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. ONCE YOU MEET JO JO YOU WILL REALIZE THAT BEING BEAUTIFUL IS ONLY THE START TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE. HE IS SO MUCH MORE THEN JUST A PRETTY FACE BUT WE HAVE TO ADMIT THIS PUP IS "PRETTY". JO JO IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL COMPANION, HE HAS A GLOWING TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, TRAITS WHICH HAVE ENDEARED THE LABRADOR RETRIEVER & GOLDEN RETRIEVER BREEDS TO FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS. HE IS A PUP WHO IS LOYAL AND DEDICATED TO THOSE HE LOVES. HIS TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM BELONGING. HE IS A PUP WHO'S FIRST DAY WITH YOU YOU WOULD THINK HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF YOUR LIFE. YOU COULD TAKE JO JO ANYWHERE AND HE WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD, JUST GET USE TO BEING STARED AT WHEN FOLKS SEE HIM, HE IS A SHOW STOPPER!!! WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH JO JO JUST AS LONG AS HE GETS TO GO. HE WOULD FIT INTO ANY FAMILIES LIFE STYLE AS HE IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION, JO JO'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES!!!. IF YOUR DAY STARTED WITH AN EARLY MORNING WALK OR JOG, JO JO WILL BEAT YOU TO THE DOOR, TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKING, HE WOULD BE A TERRIFIC WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY AS THIS PUP IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND WILL MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP. HE WOULD ALSO ADORE A TRIP TO THE PARK THIS "MR. SOCIAL" GUY LOVES OTHER DOGS JUST A CHANCE TO MEET A NEW BUDDY. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET AWAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS, JUST OPEN YOUR CAR DOOR AND IN JO JO WILL HOP, GRAB A FEW TREATS, SOME TENNIS BALLS, NOW TAKE OFF. JO JO WILL SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, CHASING ANY STICK YOU THREW HIM, WHEN IT'S WARMER WE BET SWIMMING IN ANY WATER HE COULD FIND, DON'T FORGET HE'S THE COMBINATION OF TWO WATER LOVIN BREEDS. JO JO IS ALSO AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT GUY, ALERT AND A PUP THAT IS EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH AND ONE WHO DELIGHTS IN PLEASING. HE FINDS ANYTHING NEW YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE. HE IS A PUP THAT IS VERY IN-TUNE TO HIS OWNER ALWAYS WATCHING AND LISTENING FOR ANY COMMAND YOU MIGHT GIVE HIM. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR THIS GRAND FELLOW. AT DAY'S END WHEN JO JO COMES INTO HIS HOME, HE CONTINUES TO SHINE, THIS BEAUTIFUL FELLOW ALSO HAS BEAUTIFUL MANNERS, DON'T BE SURPRISED WHEN YOU SETTLE IN YOUR EASY CHAIR TO READ A BOOK OR WATCH A MOVIE OUR "GOLDEN BOY" WILL BE CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET. HE IS HAPPY AND CONTENT BEING WITH THE PEOPLE HE LOVES MOST IN THE WORLD HIS FAMILY. JO JO TRULY HAS "GREAT" COVERED FROM A TO Z. IN FACT OUR KENTUCKY LAB RESCUE DIRECTOR MADE THE COMMENT "THIS IS A WONDERFUL DOG AND THE FAMILY WHO MAKES HIM A PART OF THEIR LIFE WILL BE RECEIVING A TRUE TREASURE"!! JO JO IS THE TOTAL PACKAGE, GLOWING TEMPERAMENT-GENTLE--LOVING--CALM--SMART AND OH YES "DROP DEAD GORGEOUS". WE FEEL THAT AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH JO JO HE WOULD BE A GREAT FIT FOR A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE WANTING A BEST FRIEND!!!
