Jojo Siwa is mourning the loss of her new puppy, who she named Tooie. She only had the puppy for two months and described his sudden death as an ‘accident.’ She made the announcement in the caption of a TikTok posted on April 29, where she shared a video of her dancing with the adorable little puppy.
“2 months ago our puppy Tooie (O2) joined our family and he brought the MOST joy, laughter, and messes into our life,” she wrote in the caption. “My heart hurts so much to say that this morning he was involved in an accident and is now in puppy heaven. I cant even explain how perfect of a dog O2 was.”

Jojo Siwa, who didn’t share any details regarding how Tooie died, has long been an activist for animal rights and animal welfare. She has been working with organizations, such as the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), for years now and isn’t shy about her love for all animals.
Having only been with Jojo for two months, Tooie wasn’t featured in a lot of her content. She posted a photo on February 28 of her hugging and kissing the puppy – who appeared to be a poodle mix of some sort. “The last few weeks have been nothing short of an adventure,” she wrote in the Instagram caption.
She also took to her Instagram Story to share a photo of her little pup the day after announcing his death. “Missin this face a lot today. It’s settling in that it’s real and it’s sooo hard he was just a babyyyyyy,” she wrote in a text overlay. Anyone who has ever lost a pet understands the emotions she was feeling.
