Jojo’s plight was first shared on WhatsApp. Before anyone could try to help him, he was sadly abandoned at a bonsai nursery by the family who couldn’t manage his playful puppy energy. Tethered to a metal cabinet with a short leash, Jojo could have spent his life in confinement. Thankfully, with the help of Ling from SOSD, Jojo was surrendered and given a chance at a new beginning.

Jojo is estimated to be 6-12 months old, HDB-approved, and incredibly affectionate. As with all young dogs, families should understand that Jojo is likely to be nippy and have teething issues, so providing him with enrichment activities and appropriate chew toys is a must. He thrives with gentle guidance, quiet sniffari walks, and opportunities to explore and learn about the world at his own pace. He walks well on a leash and is friendly around people. With the right family, we know Jojo will blossom and leave his difficult past behind.

We’re so relieved that Jojo’s story didn’t end with him chained for life.
