My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Hi, I’m Pesci, but you can also call me Jo or Jojo—those are my nicknames! I’m a one-year-old collie with a heart full of love and a brain full of smarts. My past hasn’t always been easy (I even lived through a house fire), so I can be a little nervous when I encounter new things. But once I’ve had a chance to settle in and feel safe, I’m all sweetness, hugs, and kisses. I promise, I’ll be your most loyal and loving companion.

I’m a playful guy who absolutely loves balls and nylabones, and I can keep myself entertained for hours with them. I also get along well with other dogs, so if you’ve got a pup who needs a buddy, I might just be the perfect fit. Oh, and did I mention I’m potty trained? That’s right—I’ve got the basics down and won’t make a mess of your home.

I’m also a quick learner and already know a bunch of commands like "sit," "up," "down," "lay," "come," and "no." If you’re into training, I’ll make you proud because I’m eager to please and super smart. Positive reinforcement is my jam, and treats and praise are the way to my heart. Plus, I absolutely love being brushed, so I’ll happily sit still for a good grooming session.

Even though new experiences can sometimes make me a little shy, I’m brave enough to face them with a kind and patient human by my side. With your love and guidance, I know I’ll continue to grow in confidence and become the best version of myself. So, what do you say? Let’s start this adventure together!
