Pet of the Week: JoJo

JoJo was rescued by Home Free Animal Sanctuary after way too many months in shelters, and he is more than ready for his forever family.

This little Chihuahua is one of the sweetest dogs ever housed at the sanctuary. JoJo loves his walks, sitting on warm laps and sharing his affection. The 2-year-old pup, who weighs just 5 to 6 pounds, likes pretty much everyone and he is good with other small dogs.

JoJo is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.

Home Free rescues dogs from high-kill shelters and abusive or neglectful situations and provides a temporary sanctuary while permanent, loving homes are found.

It is located at 20302 Riverside Drive in Newport Beach and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and by appointment on Sundays.

The nonprofit also contracts with the city of Newport Beach to provide animal shelter services. For information on dogs and cats available for adoption, call (949) 370-2776, email kathy@homefreeanimalsanctuary.org or visit homefreeanimalsanctuary.org.
