Story
I rescued Koda when he was a puppy around the age of 6months old. He was house trained and lived with two smaller toy size dogs. He is a high energy smart dog and very loving(loves hugs). Potty trained and crate trained him within a week with no prior experience. I recently tore my achilles and unable to keep up with him physically and I also have a baby on the way. I hope he is able to be adopted by an active loving person/family.

Story
-I was a stray in Fresno and adopted at ~1yr old. I am now ~2 years old -They call me smart, goofy, affectionate, curious, high energy (working-dog breed) & speckled like a giraffe! -I love to lounge in the sun & can be a big cuddle bug in the evenings -I LOVE playing with other dogs -I am good with kids but can be jumpy and a bit mouthy. This will pass with age -I have a high prey drive (cats, squirrels, birds) -My favorite place is a 17acre off leash dog area where I am content, confident, and playful -I must confess though, I am pretty sensitive to city life triggers such as electric scooters, motorcycles, skateboards, rollerblades. I have been reactive with motorcycle helmets, luggage being pulled, folks using canes/walkers, skateboard sounds and people catching me off guard Ideal home: with someone who is experienced with high energy, sensitive, & situationally reactive dogs, has a large open space with a dog or two, no young children, in a rural and pretty quiet environment

I’ve have Toby for about a year, but I’m trying to re-home him because the landlord won’t allow me to have it. Also due to my current job I don’t really have time for him.

Story
Nellie is a sweet and active 3 yo terrier who LOVES her toys! This playful girl loves to play chase and spend time with her foster Mom, and especially loves to play with the other dogs and cats in the home. Nellie takes some time to warm up to new people, but will eventually become extremely bonded to her new family. Because Nellie is so shy with new people, introductions will be done at the foster home and applicants should be prepared to spend some time with her during the introduction to allow her to warm up and show her true sweet personality. Nellie is UTD on vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. If interested in meeting Nellie, please complete an application at jellysplace.org.

Story
Chewbarka is only 9 months old and 2 pounds, but so heavy on charm and sweetness! He may be shy in new situations, but quickly warms up and asks for lots of love and pets. Chewbarka has not shown any reactivity towards other dogs, and loves people. Chewbarka came from a kill shelter where he was diagnosed brachycephalic with a heart murmur. For this reason, the Shelter was not able to neuter him. Chewbarka is current on his vaccines and is microchipped. If interested in meeting this adorable boy, please complete an application at jellysplace.org.

Story
Sweet Penguin is 3yo, 45 pound pocket Pittie Frenchie mix. Spayed. Potty trained, crate trained, knows all her commands. Very cuddly smart. Has excellent recall. Loves to run, play, but medium energy at home; a great companion. Dog friendly with most dogs with slow intro. Can be reactive with small dogs sometimes. Shy with new people, but always curious about them. She will bond with you quickly and love you forever. Not ideal in a home with kids, since she can be fearful & had some resource guarding with a favorite toy. No food or bone resource guarding. May need to be the only dog at home. Not destructive. Very well behaved.
