At home Jojo's favorites are treats, belly rubs, and napping at your feet. Jojo has some mild anxiety, improved with medication. He is truly a little teddy bear who just wants to be loved. Jojo gets along well with his foster's resident senior dog and kitten. He would do best in a home where his space is respected by teens 14 and up.Â
