My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi My name is Jojo

From his foster: Jojo is a sweet, old man! He's lived a long life, so he knows what he likes and doesn't like! He loves attention but he doesn't like sharing it! He's been known to get a little snarly when his foster brother gets scratches from the humans! What can he say, Jojo loves to be the center of attention!! He's a great lap dog.

Jojo is not a big fan of his crate, but does love to be left home alone with his foster brother! If he isn't with another dog he will howl and howl! Because of this, he would do best with another furry friend in the house. The furry friend should be smaller, non-reactive, and submissive. He hasn't been tested with cats, but I think he would prefer to be without them. He's got a very high prey drive and barks at pretty much anything he sees that isn't a dog his size! He is not a fan of big dogs either, but could possibly warm up to them with slow intros.

He loves to snuggle up with his person and sleeps a lot. He enjoys walks outside, but he's definitely not running buddy! Jojo has arthritis and does best when he can be active but nothing too strenuous. He has a bit of a difficult time with stairs and often falls while using them due to a weak hip. Because of this, he would do best in a house with very few stairs.

Jojo has cataracts in both eyes which limits his vision. He cannot see in the dark and becomes very afraid. We carry him when it is dark, and he should not be by stairs when it is dark.

Jojo wears belly bands inside when left alone for more than an hour or so. He's got an elderly bladder! He sometimes has poo accidents inside too.

Jojo has some health concerns that we are keeping an eye on. He has fatty masses, hair loss, and low pressure in his eyes. He has allergies of some sort that seem to be slightly improved with Apoquel. The vet says he will need a dental cleaning and probably some extractions.

To sum it all up, Jojo's ideal forever home would include:
-One other small dog in the home (dog must be willing to let Jojo rule the roost and get all the attention he wants!)
-Limited stairs or ability to block them off
-Someone willing to follow up with his medical needs
-A family who loves to cuddle!

Overall, he is a special and sweet boy! He is a big time snuggler and will give you all his love!

Go meet their pets

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.

If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

For more information on fostering or adoptable animals, please visit https://www.thebondbetween.org.

More about this rescue

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
