This adorable cutie is 2 years old, good with dogs, cats, and older kids. He lives in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada and is being fostered by LEASH Animal Welfare Society. He came to us emaciated but he is filling out nicely. He’s a fun boy with a great personality.
Jo’s one minor setback? He loves to pee. Loooooves to pee. He’s been cleared medically so we know he is a healthy boy, and this is something that can be worked with, although we definitely wished he had chosen some other pass-time to enjoy 😉 Currently, Jo has an array of belly-bands that help him not to lift a leg when he’s indoors.
Jo and his wardrobe of belly bands is available for adoption and would love the chance to find a furever home that loves him dearly and is willing to be patient with his love of making the world his own 😉

Belly bands helped our chihuahua that had a penchant for peeing inside. Being proactive about taking the dog out, using belly bands, and using an enzyme cleaner on pee spots inside (I use Nature’s Miracle) should solve the problem over time — it did with my boy (who has also been featured on Dog Shaming, but for eating bras). Don’t let this be something that makes you not adopt!

“….but for eating bras.”
Thanks for the laugh. lol

I agree with that. Sometimes people shy away from adopting a dog with “problems,” but they can be worked on with a little patience and love. Sweet little Jo deserves a good home with people who will take time to work with him. And, he is a precious boy who is obviously secure enough in his masculinity to rock the pink belly band!!!!!

My senior chihuahua also wore belly bands for most of the 4 years I had him. He went straight from trauma induced peeing in the house to senility induced peeing in the house :). I hope Jo finds a new forever home soon.

Oh dear…he was consistent! So glad you gave him a good home for his senior years.

Has Jo been neutered? Asking because I didn’t see it mentioned. My late Jack Russell Terrier lifted his leg to mark nearly every object he passed…until we got him neutered. It stopped as though we had turned off a faucet!

A delightful testimony for a very cute boy!

Is he still up for adoption?
