More about Solene-ARR

Meet Solene Solene—affectionately known as Jo Jo—is a delightful little girl with a playful spirit and a heart that’s learning more every day how wonderful love can be. After leaving her life as a puppy mill mama behind, she has been blossoming in foster care and discovering just how fun life can be. Jo Jo is equal parts silly and sweet. She absolutely lights up for mealtime, enjoys her “crazy walks,” and has recently discovered the joy of toys, playtime, and soaking up the sunshine during a good nap. Watching her engage with her foster dog friends—whether it’s playful wrestling or simply walking side-by-side—has been a joy, and she clearly takes comfort and confidence from their companionship. While Jo Jo has made wonderful progress, she is still learning to fully trust the world around her. Sudden movements and loud noises can make her a bit unsure, but with patience and reassurance, she continues to come out of her shell. She now seeks out affection, happily joins her people on the couch, and even wants to be part of bedtime—big milestones for a girl with her past. She enjoys walks and does best when she has a canine buddy to guide her, as she’s still getting the hang of leash skills on her own. Jo Jo has a moderate energy level—she’s playful when it’s time to play, but equally content to relax and recharge. She does well with potty training when kept on a consistent schedule and loves earning treats for her success. Like many dogs adjusting to a home environment, she’s still learning how to signal when she needs to go out. Jo Jo is currently on a special diet to support her urinary health, which is expected to continue through early May as a precaution. Her ideal home will be one that embraces both her joyful, playful side and her need for continued patience and understanding. A home with another friendly dog would be especially beneficial as she continues to build confidence and learn from her furry companions. Most of all, Jo Jo is ready for a family who will cherish her, nurture her growth, and return all the love she is so eager to give. She has come so far already—and her best days are still ahead. Solene’s adoption donation is $525, and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She is fully vetted and ready for her forever home — she has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccines, including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. Solene has tested negative for heartworm and has been started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and she has also had a dental cleaning.
