Akita Karelian Bear Dog

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

Meet Ombre, an 11-month-old Akita who radiates an easygoing and sweet demeanor that captivates everyone she meets! Despite her young age, Ombre displays a maturity beyond her years, approaching life with a calm and gentle disposition. Ombre came to our shelter as a stray about 6 weeks ago. She was found with her sidekick companion, Margarita, a sweet, timid, 11-pound, 3-year old Chihuahua. Ombre is an exuberant, playful and very loving dog. She is very gentle with Margarita, so they are housed together and often hang out in the yards together. While Ombre thoroughly enjoys playing and interacting with others; she would thrive equally well in a home with or without another dog, thanks to her independent nature and friendly demeanor. Ombre's love for playtime is infectious, and her charming personality makes her a wonderful addition to any loving household ready to provide her with the care and companionship she deserves. Ombre has a beautiful coat, weighs about 40 pounds, seems quite potty trained and also very quiet in her kennel that she shares with little Margarita. Ombre is good with every dog and every person she has ever met; loves to play with soft toys and most of all, has discovered the joy of a kiddie pool in the heat! At the shelter, we often let them play together, but also separate them out. I have been taking Margarita home to play with my littles so she can build her confidence and come into her own. She is a delightful little girl (whose cherry eye will be fixed when she is spayed soon). Both Ombre and Margarita are vaccinated and will be chipped and spayed We would love to get sweet Ombre and Margarita out of the shelter so they can continue to grow and thrive in a home. Ombre and Margarita are being cared for at Yolo County Animal Services in Woodland, CA (near Davis and Sacramento Airport). For more information or to meet Ombre and Margarita, please contact: Panna at 530-902-0933 or panna.putnam708@gmail.com or the shelter at . . .

Shadow Nose's Story Meet Shadow Nose: Your Future Best Friend! 💖  Hi there! My name is Shadow Nose and I’ve been waiting patiently for the perfect person to bring me into their family. Could that be you?  I’m a 4-year-old, 53-pound, Akita German Shepherd Mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! My foster family says I’m incredibly sweet, affectionate, and well-adjusted with just the right amount of energy to keep you smiling every day.  Here’s a video to help you get to know me better: https://youtu.be/lvdhggj4fPo  🩺 My Special Needs I have been diagnosed with mega-esophagus, a condition that means my throat is oversized and I need a little extra care when eating. But don’t worry — it’s super manageable! My foster family and veterinarian have created an easy routine that keeps me happy and healthy. I even have a fancy custom feeding station (built just for me!) where I eat and drink comfortably.    🐾 Why You’ll Love Me From my captivating smile to my playful spirit, I’m the kind of dog who lights up a room. I’m: - Affectionate: I’ll happily cuddle up with you after a fun day. - Energetic and playful: I love tossing my toys around and trying my best at fetch! - Learning to have good canine manner - I’m crate trained, know how to use a doggy door and can be left home alone without any issues.    🌟 A Star Companion I’m great with adults, strangers and kids and I even love car rides! One of my previous fosters took me to the Veteran’s hospital, where I brought smiles to everyone’s faces. At home, I’m bouncy and playful, but I also know how to wind down with a cozy nap in my dog bed.   🐕 My Ideal Home I’d love to be your one-and-only furry friend, but with the right introductions, I might get along with another dog. I have "bossy" tendencies! I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. My moderate energy level makes me a great fit for most homes and I promise to fill yours with love and laughter.   💖 Let’s Make It Happen! If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, I’m your girl. I’ll warm your heart with my adorable smile and keep you entertained with my goofy antics. Check out my video of me tossing my toys around — you’ll see how much fun we could have together!  Don’t let my special needs hold you back—I’m one of a kind and ready to join your family. I can’t wait to meet you!  Shadow Nose is a level 3 dog and categorized by our organization as a S.O.S. dog, meaning we will pay for any major medical issues from her disease. We will be happy to answer any questions and discuss more details upon request. For more information about Shadow Nose or to meet her, please contact: German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California P.O.

Story

Jabulani, lovingly nicknamed Jabu for short, is a sweet girl looking to affectionately nuzzle her way into your heart! This precious girl absolutely adores being in the company of her human companions. She greets everyone she meets with a curly tailed tail wag and lots of slobbery kisses. She also makes sure to show off her agile spins and funny vocalizations to wow her new friends. She is an energetic and active pup that would love to go for long walks, spend some time playing fetch in the yard, training using positive reinforcement methods, and enjoying a nice food puzzle. Jabu is also a gold medalist at tug-of-war and an expert in squeeky toys. You can see Jabu in action in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j9ZpmzAYeRg Petite and beautiful at 62 pounds and 11 years, Jabu prefers to be the apple of her person's eye, for this reason she would be perfectly happy as a solo dog. This elegant and refined young lady would prefer a home without tiny little hands as she enjoys her space after meals and that can be hard for kiddos to understand. Jabu really loves her people and can be heard whining and complaining when left at home alone. With some support from our behavior team you should be able to work through her very mild separation anxiety.Overall, Jabu is a smart and bouncy girl, spinning around when she gets excited and even loves exploring the beach and dipping her paws in the ocean with her humans. This sweet girl joined us after her guardian sadly passed away unexpectedly. Are you interested in learning more about Jabulani?

Husky

Female, 6 yrs 7 mos

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Rosie is a sweet Siberian Husky with a touch of sass and wild spirit—true to her name, inspired by the Wild Rose, the official flower of Alberta, where she’s been fostered for the past three months. Rosie’s story almost ended too soon. She was abandoned by her owner at a crowded shelter and placed on the euthanasia list after she stopped eating out of depression. Thankfully, she was rescued just in time—and it turns out she does eat (and loves every bite)! We believe Rosie spent much of her early life tied up outside, with little exercise and minimal human contact. She also shows signs of past mistreatment. When she first arrived, she was terrified of everything. Over time, with love and patience, she’s begun to open up in the most heartwarming ways. But her progress is still ongoing—she’s shy, skittish around new experiences, and will need a home that understands that healing takes time. Rosie is terrified of children, so she needs a calm, stable, and kid-free home. She’ll thrive best with patient, loving adults who can provide structure and reassurance. She also loves having a dog best friend—another gentle, confident dog helps her feel more secure and playful. As Rosie’s confidence has grown, so has her personality. Once thought to be low energy, she’s now showing her mischievous, funny side. She adores running, exploring, and chasing squirrels—and when she feels safe, she’ll seek out belly rubs and snuggles that will melt your heart. She may not know all her commands yet, but she’s clever in her own way, and with love and consistency, she’ll continue to blossom. Rosie’s looking for a home where she can feel truly safe and finally learn that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Abby is a Siberian Husky who was saved from a heartbreaking fate, and she’s making the most of every second of her second chance. With her soulful brown eyes and gentle spirit, she’s the kind of dog who quietly wins over everyone she meets. Abby is just sooo chill and relaxed. She’s a little bit of a shadow, always wanting to be near her people but never in a needy way. She’s fully potty trained, well-mannered, and has mastered the art of simply being a good girl. Belly rubs make her melt with happiness, and she’ll happily flop over for more. One of Abby’s most charming quirks is her love for her crate. Whether it’s from past training or simply seeing another dog do it and catching on, she’ll head into her crate on her own just to relax. It’s become her safe space, and the door is always open. That alone can be such a huge hurdle for many dogs so it’s truly a gift with Abby. She’s not a picky eater, not high maintenance, and not demanding, just a sweet soul looking for a safe, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years. If you’ve been searching for a loyal, easygoing, and affectionate companion, Abby is waiting to meet you. Could she be your perfect match?
