My story

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

* Approximate Age 1 Year Old * Dog-Friendly * Up To Date On Vaccines * Child- Friendly* House-trained *

Meet Jelly Bean, a charming and unique pup with an inspiring backstory. As a foster-based rescue, we receive numerous requests for surrendering pets daily, but Jelly Bean’s situation caught our attention. When her family faced the challenge of finding a new home due to a landlord’s change of heart, we couldn’t resist stepping in to help, especially since she happens to be deaf.

After reaching out to our interaction team and trainers, we connected with Ali from I Got This SIT, LLC, who immediately offered her assistance. Jelly Bean is a quick learner and has mastered commands like Sit, Down, Touch, Paw, Place/Mat, Come, and she is crate trained. While she has a higher energy level, she thoroughly enjoys training sessions and interacting with other dogs.

In her leisure time, Jelly Bean loves indulging in treats like liver sausage, crunchy treats, cheese, and Real Meat Co. treats. She finds joy in playing with tug ropes, standing between your legs, and getting love and scratches from people.

Jelly Bean’s friendly nature extends to people and larger dogs, making her a great companion for families with kids over 10 years old and other doggy friends. However, she isn’t a fan of cats, and her leash biting habit is being addressed with training.

We believe the perfect home for Jelly Bean would be one that understands the needs of a deaf dog and continues using the hand signals she’s been trained with. Patience and dedication to working on her leash biting are essential. A fenced yard and the presence of another larger dog for playtime would be a bonus, as she thrives in the company of her furry friends.

Jelly Bean is a unique and loving dog, and we know that with the right family, she’ll flourish and bring boundless joy to her forever home. If you’re ready to open your heart to this sweet pup and provide her with the love and care she deserves, Jelly Bean could be the perfect addition to your family.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application (applicant must be at least 23 years of age). Once your application is received a volunteer will contact you to discuss your application. All references listed will be contacted, along with a call to your veterinarian to make sure your current/former pets are/were up to date on all vaccinations. We also complete a background check and home visit will be performed. Once all that is complete, and application is approved, we will arrange meet and greets with our adoptables that may be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. If a perfect match is found, an adoption contract will need to be signed, along with an adoption fee.
