Jolene "Jojo - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Millcreek, Utah

JOLENE (JOJO) 🐾

Jolene is a sweet, energetic 8-10-month-old Shepherd/Collie mix weighing around 30-40 pounds. She's affectionate, playful, smart, and loves her people--expect plenty of kisses and lap cuddles!

JoJo is great with kids and other dogs, and would love a playful canine sibling, although she could also be your one-and-only. She enjoys walks, playtime, adventures, and basically anything that involves being with her humans.

She's doing well with her crate and is learning her house manners, but she's still very much a work in progress. Counter surfing, jumping for her food bowl, door darting, and potty training are areas we're working on. She knows sit, come, and no, and is eager to learn when treats and praise are involved.

JoJo walks nicely on leash with a little pulling, but she does chase cars, so continued training and management are important. She also gets carsick and does not enjoy car rides.

This busy girl would thrive in an active home with a fenced yard, people who want to include her in their adventures, and the patience to keep working on her puppy-level impulse control. Apartment living is not a good fit, and she'd do best with someone committed to consistent training.

If you're looking for a loving, goofy, energetic young dog who will happily climb into your lap and look straight into your soul, JoJo might be your girl! ❤️
