Story
Meet Mukbang ❤️ Mukbang is a 5-year-old male rescue from Nepal with a gentle heart and a loving spirit. He is a medium-sized, sweet, playful, and deeply affectionate dog who adores treats, walks, and simply being close to his human. Despite a very difficult past as a street rescue—where he experienced abuse, threats, and being chained—Mukbang has remained incredibly loving, calm, and trusting with people. He continues to show resilience and a strong desire to bond and feel safe. He is fully house-trained and knows basic commands like sit and stay. Mukbang currently lives peacefully with a small terrier and does well with other dogs in the home. He has also been around a baby and is respectful and calm in that environment. On walks, Mukbang is generally good, but he can become triggered by certain dogs, motorbikes, and fast-moving vehicles, as he was previously hit by a bike in Nepal. Because of this, he needs a confident, experienced, and attentive handler who can continue guiding

Santi is 5 years and 2 months old, affectionate, loyal, and a wonderful companion.

He would make a wonderful companion in most home.

Story
King came to Jelly's Place with Chonchi. They had livedvtogether theircwhole lives and we originally thought that they needed to be adopted together. However, since being in a foster home for several months, we and the foster feel that they can be adopted separately. King was extremely overweight when he first got here; hence the name King Size. He has since lost about 10 pounds and looks and feels so much better. King is a a big lover boy and couch potato. He is affectionate, eager to please and happy to snuggle up by your feet. He never turns down a treat which makes him easy to train. His foster said this about King: King is loving, sweet, wants belly rubs and pets. Loves affection Always wants to be included in whatever it is you’re doing. King is neutered, microchipped and will be UTD on his vaccines. If you want to meet King, apply at jellysplace.org
