Jello is a 4 month old Pug mix (currently 6.6 pounds) who is as lovely as can be and can’t wait to make your life sweeter! Jello and his brother, Pudding, came to our rescue after being saved from a hoarding situation. When we originally arrived, we didn’t even know these sweet boys existed, but we refused to leave any dog behind so into the rescue they came! While we aren’t sure what Mom or Dad looked like, we suspect these brothers will remain under 15 pounds fully grown. We will be looking for individual homes for each puppy as we do not place siblings in the same home.
Jello is the leader between the two boys but only in planning the social calendar! Jello adores his toys and lives his life aiming to have more fun every day! He is an absolute character and brightens any room he enters (or more accurately comes crashing into with his brother right behind him). Jello loves playing tug of war and is figuring out how to play fetch. Jello loves cuddles as well, and often wraps his hands around an arm or hand when he is ready to snooze so he can make you nap with him! He will never say no to climbing into an open lap for some scratches as he gives out puppy kisses. This sweet boy is cute enough to eat and lives up to his namesake by making life better by the day.
Pudding is a true Mama’s Boy and would love spending his entire day being coddled and snuggled if he could. Don’t let that make you think he doesn’t like to play though! Pudding can get down with his brother and loves snatching toys and zooming away with them as fast as his little legs can carry him. Pudding practically melts when he gets belly rubs and will often fall asleep on his back as he gets loved on. Pudding follows his brother around faithfully but doesn’t let Jello take advantage of him! He will happily flop down on top of Jello when he decides it is time for a nap and then he is off in dreamland!
The brothers start their day at 7 AM with breakfast as their pen is cleaned out. They spend some time playing with each other and their toys after breakfast. They are working on basic training and have already started learning quite a few tricks! Throughout the morning, they play together and nap together in an adorable cycle until 1 PM, when they eat lunch. Once the foster family comes home, the puppies spend their evening getting their zoomies out as they race around the house before flopping over for naps. They have dinner at 6 PM and enjoy some boiled chicken with their kibble. They get some time in the yard to sniff and play after dinner, where they also work on some more tricks. After it gets dark, everyone comes inside and the puppies enjoy some snuggles on the couch until they go to bed at 8 PM in their pen.
The puppies get along well with dogs of all ages and sizes. They were polite with the resident cat. They love people and adore their human foster siblings. Jello and Pudding will require continued socialization and training to ensure they grow up to be the perfect pups we know they can be! We expect any interested home to provide a plan for training once the puppy joins your household.
Jello is only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.
