Jojo, black Labrador retriever mix
Jojo is a male black Labrador retriever mix staying at Diamonds in the Ruff Rescue.
Jojo will get along great with your other dogs. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. He's already vaccinated and neutered.
Here's what Jojo's friends at Diamonds in the Ruff Rescue think of him:
Jojo is a handsome 7-year-old black lab mix. He was brought to a shelter when his owner had to have a bone marrow transplant and could no longer take care of him. He is the happiest boy and loves everyone.

Charlie, Australian cattle dog
Charlie is a lovable male Australian cattle dog being kept at Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association, Inc.
Charlie is a social butterfly — he'll get along great with other dogs. Fear not: he's already house-trained. Charlie is neutered and has all his shots.
Notes from Charlie's caretakers:
Charlie wants a person to call his own. He is great with other dogs of all sizes and breeds. He would be a great companion for someone who is home alone or runs by themselves. Charlie is not a dog for a family with children. He will take some time and patience from his adopter to create that unbreakable bond.

Mia, Australian cattle dog
Mia is a sweet female Australian cattle dog dog currently housed at Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association, Inc.
Mia is friendly as can be, and she's happy to keep company with other dogs. She's already house-trained. She's already spayed and vaccinated.
Here's what Mia's friends at Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association, Inc. think of her:
Mia is a wonderful and sweet dog. She does well with most dogs and could be best in a home that has another playful dog her size or smaller for her to interact with. She would also do well as an only dog if she is active and part of the family.

Bella, pit bull terrier
Bella is a female pit bull terrier dog staying at Diamonds in the Ruff Rescue.
Bella is a social animal — she'll get along great with your other dogs. Good news: she's already house-trained. She is spayed, and she has all her shots.
Notes from Bella's caretakers:
She found herself in the shelter with her brother (who has sadly passed away), and now she’s looking for a forever family. Her last family gave up on her and her brother. She deserves this more than anyone, because she lost so much in the last few weeks.
