Meet our Pet of the Week, JOJO - a lovable Boxer mix with flyaway ears! JOJO and his brother Spotty came to It Takes a Village after being surrendered to Animal Control due to financial reasons. This happy fella is ready to start a new chapter in his life with a loving forever family.

All of the animals at ITV are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, and FIV/FeLV-tested.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
