Story

Meet Ginger, a 3-year-old, 50 lb retriever/hound mix with a curious mind and a heart full of love. Ginger is affectionate and playful when she’s not busy checking out her surroundings. She’s known for her “sneak-attack kisses” and loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch after a good walk. She’s smart and food-motivated, already knows sit, shake, and come, and is learning place and down. Ginger is comfortable in a crate, sleeps soundly through the night, and often chooses her crate as a comfy hangout spot. With her active energy, she thrives on walks and adventures, but also has a softer, cuddly side once she’s settled. Ginger would do best in an active home with someone who can keep her busy, continue her training, and give her plenty of enrichment. She can be excitable and pulls on leash when overstimulated, so a patient owner committed to helping her practice good manners will set her up for success. She can be (situational) reactive to cats (especially from the crate) and may have some prey drive, so a cat-free home is ideal. Low-shedding, affectionate, and eager to please, Ginger is the kind of dog who will reward your time and effort with endless love, loyalty, and adventures. If you are interested in meeting Ginger, please fill out an adoption application on our website!

Chee Yoo

Golden Retriever Shiba Inu

San Pablo, CA

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Note: Special Needs Dog due to Behavior/Shyness. This dog is bonded and must be adopted with Pepe. Are you looking for a gorgeous dog? What about a very shy dog? If you answered yes to both of these questions, Chee Yoo could be the perfect dog for you. Chee Yoo is a beautiful, 5 yo medium/large female dog that came to Jelly's Place from South Korea in July 2021. Why has such a wonderful dog not been adopted yet? Read further to find out. Chee Yoo is very timid and nervous around people. She LOVES other dogs, and has become best friends with another Jelly's dog named Pepe. Pepe has a very similar personality to Chee Yoo and the two of them are like 2 peas in a pod. Chee Yoo can guard her food which is not surprising given where she came from. So, care needs to be taken with another dog when food, especially high value foods, are around. During her time at Jelly's Place, Chee Yoo has gone from hiding in the corner to taking daily walks on a leash. She is becoming more comfortable and confident, but still has a long way to go. She has learned to trust her primary caregiver, but is still not comfortable interacting with other people. Chee Yoo would do best in a calm, quiet home with dog experience and older or no children. Chee Yoo is NOT a dog for first time adopters. She needs adopters who are willing to be patient and to give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable, confident and loved. Another dog in the home is essential. and we prefer to keep Chee Yoo with her buddy Pepe. If you are interested in adopting Chee Yoo, we recommend that you come and spend time with her on several occasions so that she becomes comfortable with you. Chee Yoo is UTD on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. Applications are being accepted and qualified applicants will be contacted.

Story

Doug came to us after his human sadly passed away. He had lived with his human since he was a young pup and was a well-loved family member. Doug is a friendly and gentle guy with everyone he meets — both human and canine! True to his breed, he loves human affection, leaning in for a good rear pet or ear scratch. Doug is doing well in his foster home and has been very respectful and adaptable with his foster doggie sister. He is a quiet and loyal companion with his foster mom, hanging on the patio while she does yard work nearby. Doug is a great sleeper and lets out a good snore and a moan for a particularly good slumber. Doug is looking for his forever human/s to provide him the loving home he knew and loved in his previous family. He will give back in spades!

Story

Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 🐶💛 Meet Nilla – A Loving and Energetic Golden Mix Girl 💛 🐾 Name: Nilla 🎂 Age: Estimated 7–8 months 🚺 Gender: Female ⚖️ Weight: 19 kg (≈ 42 lbs) 🐕 Breed: Golden Retriever Mix 💛 Personality & Charm Nilla is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic girl who loves people more than anything! She’s always wagging her tail, eager to be near her humans, and full of puppy joy. 🩷 She’s an active, happy girl who thrives with attention, play, and daily adventures. 🌳🐾 Adults: Absolutely loves everyone she meets. Children: Great with kids but may be too energetic for very young children — she sometimes jumps or playfully nibbles when excited. Dogs: Gets along wonderfully with other dogs! She loves to play, though can be a bit rough with large dogs. She’s gentle with puppies and adjusts her energy. She may get a little jealous if another dog approaches while she’s being petted. Cats: Very curious and approaches without fear. If a cat acts aggressively, she may bark or get excited, but otherwise coexists fine. 🚽 Potty Training Nilla is about 80 % outdoor-trained and improving fast. She uses pee pads when indoors, though prefers going outside. Her foster expects that as she matures, she’ll become fully outdoor-trained. 👉 A family who can take her for 3 short walks a day would be ideal. 🚶‍♀️ Walks & Leash Manners Nilla loves walks! She may pull slightly at the beginning until she relieves herself, but she calms down quickly. When she sees other dogs or cats, she can get excited — but if you hold the leash firmly and ask her to sit, she listens right away. She’s food-motivated, smart, and learns quickly. ✨ With consistent training, she’ll become a wonderful walking companion. 🏡 Home Life & Behavior No separation anxiety Chews on toys or wooden sticks when alone — please keep small or unsafe items out of reach Has never chewed furniture or walls Loves to be touched and cuddled 🤗 A bit scared of grooming (baths, nail trimming, ear cleaning), but she stays calm and never bites. She’s learning to trust and improving every week. 💔 Rescue Story Nilla was rescued from a city shelter’s euthanasia list. She nearly lost her chance at life, but thanks to rescuers’ love and care, she was saved and is now ready to find her forever family. Nilla is full of love, intelligence, and joy. She’s ready to bring endless affection and smiles to the family who opens their heart to her. 💛 Adopt Nilla and let her bright spirit light up your home. 🐾
