Story
Meet Simba, with the most sweet and engaging eyes and gentle, loving personality. Simba has had a bit of a rough past, and is looking for a kind and safe home to call his own. Simba is a young dog with very high energy so would be great for an active family with a yard. He also likes to be loved/petted in a warm lap. Simba will thrive and be a great dog for a more adult household or with older calmer kids. He is a so engaging, sweet, friendly and likes to meet other people and dogs, but needs a calm home to come back to. Simba does well meeting people/animals on walks, and will benefit from more leash training. He seems to be potty trained. Simba will be neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated as part of the adoption process. If interested in meeting this lovely boy, please complete an application at jellysplace.org.

Story
Gidget is a pocket-sized snuggle button who's life ambition is to be your lap baby. She is so small, you would forget you're carrying her around if it wasn't for all the people stopping you to gasp and praise her cuteness. Gidget's ideal retirement life includes lap naps, sunbeam naps, couch naps, and following you from room to room.

Miao is a very sweet girl, she looks to be a maltese/bichon mix but this is only a best guess. She doesn't shed much. She's a bit shy to start but she warms up fairly quickly.

Story
We recently rehomed our dog Donatello to a family in Yuba City but they are having issues with him. He is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. He is well trained and knows several basic commands like down, stay and sit. He is also crate trained and potty trained. The reason we have to rehome him is because he is not a good fit for us. To be fully transparent, Donatello would not be a good fit to go to a home with other dogs, kids or elderly people because of his resource guarding/reactiveness. He does not do well with larger dogs and children. We have done behavioral training with a professional dog trainer and he has made great strides since then. He has a lot of energy and needs to go to a house that has a large yard and we can not provide that to him. To be fully transparent, he CAN NOT go to a place with children. Meet ups in the Yuba City area is preferred.
