Story
Looking for a Loving Home for Reina 🐾 Meet Reina — a beautiful, all-white Akita with a heart of gold. She’s about 9 years old and has been an incredible companion to our family. Reina is extremely well-behaved, intelligent, and affectionate. She’s wonderful with kids and gets along great with other dogs — truly a gentle soul. Reina is a medium-to-large dog who enjoys spending time outdoors, whether it’s a walk, a bit of sunshine, or just being near her humans. She would make a perfect addition to a loving home that can give her the time and attention she deserves. We’re heartbroken to rehome her, but due to our current living situations, it’s just not fair to her. I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs, and while my dad has a house, his schedule only allows for brief time with her in the morning and evening. She deserves more — a home where she’s not alone most of the day. We’d love to find Reina's home where she can thrive and be loved as much as she loves in return

His curiosity knows no bounds; every new smell or sound is a thrilling mystery waiting to be solved. His bravery is admirable, facing every new day with an unwavering spirit and a loud WOOF! Bernie's playful nature and boundless energy are infectious, bringing joy to everyone around him. His curly tail wags with excitement at the thought of new adventures. Bernie is not just a pet, he's a loyal friend, a playful companion, and a source of unconditional love. He deserves a home where he can continue to explore, play, and spread joy.

Story
Note: Special Needs Dog due to Behavior/Shyness. This dog is bonded and must be adopted with Pepe. Are you looking for a gorgeous dog? What about a very shy dog? If you answered yes to both of these questions, Chee Yoo could be the perfect dog for you. Chee Yoo is a beautiful, 5 yo medium/large female dog that came to Jelly's Place from South Korea in July 2021. Why has such a wonderful dog not been adopted yet? Read further to find out. Chee Yoo is very timid and nervous around people. She LOVES other dogs, and has become best friends with another Jelly's dog named Pepe. Pepe has a very similar personality to Chee Yoo and the two of them are like 2 peas in a pod. Chee Yoo can guard her food which is not surprising given where she came from. So, care needs to be taken with another dog when food, especially high value foods, are around. During her time at Jelly's Place, Chee Yoo has gone from hiding in the corner to taking daily walks on a leash. She is becoming more comfortable and confident, but still has a long way to go. She has learned to trust her primary caregiver, but is still not comfortable interacting with other people. Chee Yoo would do best in a calm, quiet home with dog experience and older or no children. Chee Yoo is NOT a dog for first time adopters. She needs adopters who are willing to be patient and to give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable, confident and loved. Another dog in the home is essential. and we prefer to keep Chee Yoo with her buddy Pepe. If you are interested in adopting Chee Yoo, we recommend that you come and spend time with her on several occasions so that she becomes comfortable with you. Chee Yoo is UTD on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. Applications are being accepted and qualified applicants will be contacted.

Shadow Nose's Story Meet Shadow Nose: Your Future Best Friend! 💖

Hi there! My name is Shadow Nose and I’ve been waiting patiently for the perfect person to bring me into their family. Could that be you?

I’m a 4-year-old, 53-pound, Akita German Shepherd Mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! My foster family says I’m incredibly sweet, affectionate, and well-adjusted with just the right amount of energy to keep you smiling every day.
 Here’s a video to help you get to know me better: https://youtu.be/lvdhggj4fPo 
🩺 My Special Needs
I have been diagnosed with mega-esophagus, a condition that means my throat is oversized and I need a little extra care when eating. But don’t worry — it’s super manageable! My foster family and veterinarian have created an easy routine that keeps me happy and healthy. I even have a fancy custom feeding station (built just for me!) where I eat and drink comfortably. 
 
🐾 Why You’ll Love Me
From my captivating smile to my playful spirit, I’m the kind of dog who lights up a room.
I’m:
- Affectionate: I’ll happily cuddle up with you after a fun day.
- Energetic and playful: I love tossing my toys around and trying my best at fetch!
- Learning to have good canine manner
- I’m crate trained, know how to use a doggy door and can be left home alone without any issues.


 🌟 A Star Companion
I’m great with adults, strangers and kids and I even love car rides! One of my previous fosters took me to the Veteran’s hospital, where I brought smiles to everyone’s faces. At home, I’m bouncy and playful, but I also know how to wind down with a cozy nap in my dog bed.
 
🐕 My Ideal Home
I’d love to be your one-and-only furry friend, but with the right introductions, I might get along with another dog. I have "bossy" tendencies! I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. My moderate energy level makes me a great fit for most homes and I promise to fill yours with love and laughter.
 
💖 Let’s Make It Happen!
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, I’m your girl. I’ll warm your heart with my adorable smile and keep you entertained with my goofy antics. Check out my video of me tossing my toys around — you’ll see how much fun we could have together!

Don’t let my special needs hold you back—I’m one of a kind and ready to join your family. I can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Oso is a 9-year-old Husky with a big heart and a bigger personality. He was first adopted from us in 2018 and, through no fault of his own, has found his way back twice due to changes in his families’ circumstances. Now, he’s hoping that the third time will truly be the charm.Oso has lived with children and even a small dog, and he thrived in a busy home. He does best, however, in a cat-free, small-animal-free environment. At this stage in his life, he’s looking for a calm, steady household where he can relax, be loved, and show off his sweet, quirky nature.Despite the ups and downs, Oso hasn’t lost his gentle spirit — he’s just waiting for someone who will commit to him for good. Could that be you?September 11, 2025, 1:47 pm
