Adopt Jojo

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 10 months

* Children: For an explanation, please read Why we are cautious about placing our dogs with families with (young) children. Jojo also prefers a calm energy in the house, consistent routines, and predictability. **Size:** Approximately 50 cm at the shoulder and weighing around 16 kilos, which is comparable to a Bearded Collie, though it's unknown if that breed is actually present in Jojo's genes. **Temperament:** Jojo (her passport name is Josephine) is a gentle, sensitive dog with two sides. She has a deep-seated insecurity that worsens in new environments or with clumsy handling: then it's pure fear. On the other hand, when Jojo is accustomed to a good fit in a new place and her new person(s) and is properly guided, you see the relaxed Jojo. That Jojo is a delightful cuddle buddy, super affectionate, joyful, and playful! ❗ The conditions listed below, which her new home must meet, are therefore each crucial!

* Kinderen: voor een toelichting, lees Waarom wij voorzichtig zijn met het plaatsen van onze honden bij gezinnen met (jonge) kinderen alstublieft. JoJo houdt bovendien van een kalme energie in huis, van vaste routines en voorspelbaarheid. ** Formaat: ongeveer 50 cm schofthoogte en een gewicht van 16 kilo, dat is vergelijkbaar met een Bearded Collie, waar ze uiterlijk ook best veel op lijkt. Of dat ras ook daadwerkelijk in Jojo's genen zit, is onbekend. Karakter: JoJo (haar paspoortnaam is Josephine) is een zachtaardige, gevoelige hond, met twee kanten. Ze heeft een diep-zittende onzekerheid, die verergert op een nieuwe plek of bij onhandige begeleiding: dan wordt het pure angst. Aan de andere kant, wanneer JoJo gewend is aan een goed passende nieuwe plek en aan haar nieuwe mens(en) en ze op een goede manier wordt begeleid, dan zie je de ontspannen JoJo. Die JoJo is een heerlijke knuffelkont, super aanhankelijk, vrolijk en speels! ❗ De voorwaarden die hieronder staan - waaraan haar nieuwe thuis moet voldoen - zijn daarom stuk voor stuk belangrijk!

About Jojo

What life with Jojo looks like

Jojo is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Straydogs Rescue Nederland in RC Nieuwe Pekela.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jojo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jojo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Straydogs Rescue Nederland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jojo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jojo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Straydogs Rescue Nederland will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Jojo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Jojo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Straydogs Rescue Nederland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jojo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
