Story
Mavis is a very sweet 2 year old dog. We believe she is mostly Dutch Shepherd. When we adopted her they said she is a lab mix. She does well with other dogs and the very little interactions she has had with children she did good. My wife and I are moving and we can't take her with us.

Story
Jack was left for dead as a puppy and was rescued by a stranger. Our neighbor took him in and worked to re-home and we couldn’t say no when we saw him. Fast forward 2.5 years he is much too big for us and really needs to be in a home with older kids or adults. He is full of energy and needs to be walked/run regularly. He is an absolute love and is a very loyal boy. We love him, but have determined it’s time for him to find his forever home with someone who can give him the attention he deserves.

We found Caleb at an animal shelter. He was living in poor conditions. He is 2 years old. He is gentle and loving. He has a great deal of energy and would do best with a family that has land and is very active, we have 3 children and do not have the time to dedicate to this.

Found abandoned on the side of the interstate, picked him up just so he did not get hit. Excellent dog, very playful with children and other dogs. I am only rehoming because I have other animals and not enough room. House trained, barks to let you know or nudges you.. kennel trained as well.

Story
Hello fellow adventurer my name is Brissie. As you might guess I’m a black lab mixed. I love to play, run and I'm great at ball. People are my favorite! I get so excited I break into dance. It’s my happy dance and is the cutest dance ever. I can be a little nervous with other dogs especially if they bark at me. But once we get to know each other I'm ready to play. Since I’m active I need someone to love me that likes goofing around. I'm ready for a road trip anytime. I enjoy all the smells the world has to offer. I’ve got the basics under my belt, and I do have the potential to be great at agility play and other things you might want to teach me.

Story
Meet one of the Mountain Ranges puppies! Two girls and two boys came to us from the shelter at about 10 weeks old. We do not know his breed mix for sure, but he looks most like a Lab mix to us. Rocky is a very sweet "teenage" pup now and he has been waiting patiently for the right person to find him. He is somewhat submissive compared to his siblings which makes him a little timid initially, but he is so affectionate and loving. We do not know how Rocky and his siblings ended up in a shelter, but we do know he is going to be a wonderful addition to his family. He is house-trained to a doggy door and does great with dogs of all sizes in his foster home. We think he would be fine in a home with or without other dogs. He particularly loves people. If you think you might want to give this sweet pup a home, please email jojosdogrescue@gmail.com and we will send you an application, or visit our website: www.jojosdoghouse.com and download one. Adoption fee is $250, which includes neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, parasite treatment, and microchip with lifetime registration. Please visit our Facebook page JoJo's DogHouse (non-profit) to learn more about us and see many of the dogs we have rescued. We hope you'll join JoJo's family of adopters.
