My personality

Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


We adopted Jolene in May 2023 as our first family dog. She was born Feb 14, 2023. Our little Valentine! We have loved having her in our family. She is great with people and other dogs, though she can be intimidating and territorial with smaller children. She was spayed in March 2024 and is current with all of her healthcare.

The reason for rehoming is our relocation to Florida this summer. We will be in a small apartment without the space nor the schedule to give her the attention and exercise that a Rhodesian Ridgeback needs. She will do best in a home without small children and with experience with Rhodesians or big dogs. True to her breed she is energetic and strong-willed and wants to be a part of a pack. She loves to run and chase and to lie in hot sunny spots. She loves to chew bones and snuggle with stuffed animals.

The decision to rehome has been gut-wrenching and we will all miss her terribly. We hope you love our "JoJo" as much as we do!
