Meet Jelly Bean, the two-year-old dynamo of doggy delight! Jelly Bean is a high-energy, high-fun package of canine enthusiasm looking for her forever playmate. She's a real dog's dog, always up for a game of tug-of-war with her favorite ropes or a spirited chase with her fellow four-legged pals. Jelly Bean might steal a ball or two just for the thrill of the chase, but hey, what's life without a little mischief, right? When she's not in turbo mode, she's quite the cuddle bug, content to lounge on the couch or chew on a tasty bone. And don't forget her unique talent: Jelly Bean loves to wiggle her way into your heart with her signature "wigglebutt" move. Just try to resist those wiggles; we dare you! While she may not be a fan of wearing sweaters, she's a fan of everything else, from treats (cheese is her top pick) to ear scratches (her backside is her sweet spot). Now, let's talk about Jelly Bean's one quirky habit: her passionate dislike for leashes. She turns into a fierce leash-biting whirlwind, but don't be discouraged; her foster parent is working on it. If you've got a fenced yard, you'll be her hero, as she thrives when she can run free without the leash hassle. Jelly Bean is a sweet celebrity wannabe, charming everyone with her extreme wiggles and love for all humans. So, if you're ready for a wild child who'll keep you entertained and loved, Jelly Bean is your ticket to endless fun and furry affection. Get ready for a life filled with laughter and canine cuddles with this one-of-a-kind pup!

Story

I adopted this handsome guy at a shelter when I was living in Colorado. He’s about 2 1/2 years old and the sweetest pup with soooooooo many cuddles to give! He really is such a sweetheart, it is sad that we have to let him go. He has anxiety and with a baby in the house now, he’s better in a home where he’s getting all the attention. He does good with our other dog and is a good boy at the dog parks. I don’t know how he would be around cats as we don’t have any. He’s been an apartment dog for as long as I’ve had him and he walks good on leash. If you’re interested in this cutie pie feel free to reach out! No adoption fee just want him in a good home Email me at romeorun226@yahoo.com if you have any questions, serious inquiries only please.

Congratulations! You've found the bio for the world's friendliest and snuggliest dog ever!

Harvest is a mostly black pittie with white paws, white tipped tail and a blaze of white on her chest and face along with some freckles and beautiful golden brown eyes. Harvest is an independent pup who mostly ignores other dogs when off leash in dog friendly areas. Harvest is very non-reactive and enjoys focusing on her tennis ball. On leash, she is more dog selective and will vocalize her displeasure quickly, so it's important to know her boundaries. Harvest will make her opinions known and get bossy with younger dogs. Harvest is a medium energy pup. She loves to walk and play! She's very athletic and would do well with an active owner. Loves sniff walks and squirrel hunting. Absolutely loves the beach or a dog friendly area where she can be off leash playing keep away and fetch. She is also a big cuddle bug and will give you the warmest hug you've ever had, accompanied by thousands of kisses. Harvest is just a really good girl. She is a very happy-go-lucky pup who rolls with whatever comes her way. Harvest is one of the most affectionate, friendly, funny, listens, and is very cued in on her handler. Harvest is just eager to please. She is smart and will settle quickly if attempts at play are not reciprocated. You really just have to meet her and you will fall in love.
