Jojo

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 6 years

Jojo is a beautiful small-sized German Shepherd looking for a quiet home where she can truly relax. At 6 years old, she has a gentle and affectionate nature and absolutely loves fuss and attention from the people she knows and trusts. Jojo would be best suited to an adult-only home, where she can enjoy a calm and predictable environment. She is not a high-energy Shepherd, but she does love her daily walks and walks beautifully on the lead. She also loves her toys and will love to run around in the garden playing. She settles well in the home and can be left for a few hours. Jojo is reactive around other dogs and is currently walked wearing a muzzle as a precaution. However, she is making really positive progress with her ongoing training and can be carefully introduced to calm dogs. Her future family will need to continue with this training; Jojo loves to learn new things too and is super smart. Ideally, Jojo would love a more rural setting with access to peaceful walking areas, although if her owners are happy to drive her to quiet walking areas to begin with then location isn’t too important. Jojo unfortunately seems to have been overlooked for some time and has been in our care for over a year, and we really cannot see why because she is a joy to be around. The staff and volunteers love to take her out for her offsite walks or play and cuddle with her in our onsite areas. Please consider adopting or even fostering Jojo so she can be in a loving home environment – she won’t take up much space she really is a tiny sized shep!

About Jojo

What life with Jojo looks like

Jojo is a very small adult german shepherd dog waiting at Pawprints Dog Rescue in Stretton-on-Dunsmore.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Pawprints Dog Rescue 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 — Pawprints Dog Rescue 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 Pawprints Dog Rescue 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 (EN). 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.
