My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hmmm....life on a chain is to blame for this sweet boy's possession you need to claim:
My name is Jo Jo and my story is unfortunately not uncommon in these parts. I was a sole member of a chain gang. My owner felt no shame in watching me chained day in and day out with an occasional feeding and watering. My house was a lean-to that was suppose to protect me from the elements in the spring, winter, summer and fall. I say ha to that! I also say thank you to the kind people who could not tolerate watching me suffer any longer and were able to convince "those people" to surrender me to caring hands.
Since I have been emancipated, I have gone through extensive training trying to learn my manners. I am only a year old and have a lot of catching up to do. I love to play with my foster brother or any other dog that will play with me. They tell me I would never hurt a fly because I have such a sweet nature. I like kids but I would probably knock over a toddler because I am a rough and tumble teenager. I need an experienced pit bull owner so we know how to relate to one another. I am working on my house training and crate training.
My vetting is up to date and I am neutered. If you are looking for an energetic and clownish companion, I am your man! Please add me to your life! You won't be sorry. My foster mom will be happy to talk with you about how great I am! Call 423-503-4234.
