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

A medium- to high-energy dog and in her excitement to be out of her kennel, she does pull a bit so a strong and patient handler would help her get the training and exercise she needs. She does love to play with and fetch toys! While she loves the large squeaky stuffies, she seems to be a digger hiding her prized possessions!Once she's a bit tired out, she'll sit by you for pets. In fact, she seems to understand the "sit" command.

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
Hey guys my name is Wesley and there is a lot to unpack within my little body, although I won’t be little long. I am a beautiful boy with a lot of love and loyalty to my pack. I had a rough go. My best friend Tess and I had a wild childhood and ended up in animal control. Luckily and nice man called Wiley’s Wish and asked them to take a risk on us. Both of us were really feral and scared of people so Wiley’s knew they needed some special trainers to work with us. We got to stay together and went to an awesome training program. My foster dad does a lot of work with me and I used to be so scared but I am doin really well, especially with treats. I know I’m a working progress but I promise I am doin all the work so that one day I can find my perfect family.

Story
Frankie is a super sweet, ultra-cuddly husky boy who’s ready to charm his way straight into your heart. This handsome fluffball has the classic husky personality: playful, expressive, goofy in the best way, and always up for an adventure. He loves to run and play, enjoys being outdoors, and will happily trot alongside you on a walk — he’s great on leash! He already knows “sit,” and his eagerness to please (along with those soulful husky eyes!) makes him a fun pup to continue training with. Like many huskies, he thrives with activity, routine, and being part of the family action. Frankie is also a world-class snuggler — after playtime, he’s all about curling up close for affection. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready to go home. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s equal parts silly, loyal, and cuddly — with that signature husky sparkle — Frankie is your guy! 💙🐾
