JoJo Siwa Is a Dog Lover
Siwa has almost always had dogs in the house growing up and now that she’s an adult, not much has changed.
In January 2016, Siwa introduced her new addition BowBow on Instagram, telling fans that the pup only weighed one pound, at the time.
In December 2022, she shared a photo of her other dog, Buddy. Two months later, Siwa uploaded a post that contained a photo of her holding three dogs, one of which was Tooie.
Although Siwa doesn’t share content with her dogs super often, they have made appearances in her videos from time to time. On March 29, 2023, she shared a video of herself dancing with Tooie that she said she’d had on her phone in drafts from when she first got him. The video actually caused a stir amongst fans, many of whom were quick to notice that one of Siwa’s other dogs was pooping on the floor in the background.
