RESCUE STORY
Jelly was rescued on August 2, 2026, from a large-scale Poodle hoarding situation in Gyeongbuk, South Korea.
Jelly is a sweet and gentle girl who can be a little shy when meeting new people. She will take treats from strangers, and once she has had some time to feel comfortable, she allows gentle petting. In a smaller, enclosed space, she is easier to approach, while in an open area she may initially try to keep some distance from unfamiliar people. Once she trusts you, however, her affectionate side comes out—she’ll approach on her own and ask for pets. She can also be comfortably picked up and held.
With Other Dogs
Jelly will approach unfamiliar dogs to say hello, although she doesn’t necessarily want to play with them right away. She has mostly preferred spending time with the dogs she was rescued with and tends to feel more comfortable around dogs of a similar size.
High-energy dogs can be a little overwhelming for her, but as she has become more comfortable in her current environment, she has started showing a more playful side—following other dogs around, chasing them, and even rolling around and playing together.
With People
Jelly needs a little time to warm up, especially in an open environment where she has room to move away. Treats are a great way to help build trust with her. Once she knows you, she becomes affectionate and enjoys seeking out attention and affection on her own terms.
With Cats
Jelly has not yet been tested with cats.
Energy & Daily Life
Jelly has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor activity but is also able to settle down and relax afterward. She is not considered a high-energy dog.
She has not yet had formal leash-walking practice, so her future family should be prepared to introduce leash walks gradually and patiently.
Jelly currently goes potty outdoors and stays calm when placed in a kennel.
Other Behaviors
Jelly does not show resource guarding around food with either people or other dogs.
She does show some separation anxiety, although it is not considered severe, and she has not shown howling when left alone. She was previously very quiet and rarely barked, but recently, as she has become more comfortable and playful, she has started occasionally barking while chasing and interacting with her dog friends.
Jelly is a sensitive girl who may need a little patience at first, but once she feels safe, she begins to show just how affectionate and playful she can be. A family willing to give her time to settle in and build trust at her own pace would be a wonderful match for her.
