About Jojo

Dutch Shepherd / Akita Age: Young Adult Sex: Male

Jojo is exactly 3 years old. We rescued him when he was 2 months old. He is extremely friendly with my 6 month old son and he plays excellent with dogs especially when we go to dog parks. He is trained to go outside for poo and pee and he does tricks like 'sit, stand, high-five, go (and point to where). He also listens when he is told to go to his cage to eat bones so he doesn't make a mess in the house and he has never shown signs of aggression. He is very spoiled and loved by us. We sleep with him in bed and allow him to stay on our bed and living room couch and just about anywhere in the house. Sometimes he'll bark at strangers and if he is introduced to new dogs hes never seen before he needs to sniff them and he'll walk around and smell them all over before he actually plays with them or becomes friendly. Sometimes he'll slightly bark but he usually does this if the other dog barks at him first. We have never had a problem with jojo but recently I moved to Australia and I am going back this weekend and we need to find him a home before we leave. He is so used to spending time with us during the day and going to the dog park and lately he has been home alone because we moved and my brother is a college student who just got a full time job so no one has been home to play with him or take him out. He's getting very depressed at sad being alone for long periods of time during the day. 2 weeks ago he got scared while peeing behind a large tree branch and slightly bit our neighbor. It was not an attack just a small bite on her forearm. He is not reported anywhere and she is fine. This is also the first time he has ever done anything like this and it is not due to aggressiveness but rather he got scared as he did not see the lady there and she got closer to him because she didn't see him either so I think they both kind of got scared of each other not to mention she said she hates dogs. I leave Jojo alone with my son who is 6 months as aforementioned and he is so playful and friendly with him. I can show videos and photos and also a lot of people and neighbors can attest to how nice and loving Jojo is.
