Jelly is an adorable 2-year old male Beagle who was brought to the HSOV on November 18, 2025 by a Good Samaritan who had found him on County Road 4 in the Waterford Ohio area. Jelly was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.
This handsome young man has a tricolor short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful tan/white Beagle face with hopeful trusting eyes, a black button nose, and extra-large floppy ears.
Jelly has the sweetest personality for which the Beagle breed is known for and so highly prized as a family pet.
Jelly weighs 32 lbs.
Happily for Jelly, a wonderful foster family offered him the hospitality of their home on November 20th so that he could enjoy a vacation over the Thanksgiving Holiday. They reported that Jelly (whom they gave him the cute name "Theo") was good with both small/large dogs and children .. And he also made friends with cats. Jelly LOVES toys and tends to collect them (smile). Jelly aka Theo was a perfect passenger in the family's car and did well on long car rides.
Jelly returned to HSOV from his Thanksgiving vacation on December 3rd, and we're sure that he is still having sweet dreams of his awesome time with a real family in a nice home environment.
These photos of Jelly were taken late in the afternoon on December 3rd when HSOV Volunteers Miley Kiggans and Braylee Buck spent time with him in the lobby and (much to Jelly's delight) showered him with attention and 'good boy' treats. Jelly was a joy to photograph while he turned on his Beagle charm and pranced around the lobby for a new adventure. Jelly loved jumping up on the sofa for a better view of several kitties in a nearby tower.
Jelly will be neutered before being officially adopted. He could be fostered while awaiting that procedure with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application.
Update: Jelly went home with a foster family on December 6, 2025 who plans to adopt him after he is neutered.
