JELLY - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. Jelly is a resilient, affectionate, and incredibly smart girl looking for her forever home. After a tough start in life—evidenced by scars on her muzzle from past mistreatment—she has proven to be a "quick learner" who is ready to leave her past behind and shower her new family with love. Personality & Home Life • House-Training Hero: Jelly is fully house-trained and knows to go potty outside. • Crate & House Manners: She is comfortable and quiet in her crate at night. When left alone in the house, she is respectful and non-destructive. • Energy Level: She is a high-energy pup who loves to stay busy and play! • Affection: Jelly is a total sweetheart who loves to crawl into laps for snuggles or curl up right at your feet. Social Life & Play • Dog-Friendly: She currently lives with medium to large dogs. While she was initially wary of much larger dogs, she now plays constantly with her "dog buddies" before crashing for a nap. • Cat-Friendly: Jelly lives with cats and has become well-adjusted to her feline roommates. • People Person: She loves meeting new people! • Play Style: She is a fan of "rough and rowdy" wrestling and chase-and-run games. She also loves any toy, especially a good game of tug-of-war. Training Progress Jelly is a "smart, sweet learner" currently working on her Sit and Leave it commands. She is also making great progress on her leash manners and is learning not to pull during walks. Ideal Home Jelly would thrive in an active home where she can get plenty of exercise and continue her training. Because she can be a bit overwhelmed by new places at first, she’d love a family that can offer her a little patience as she settles in.

PLEASE READ: • If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this. • All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date. • Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments. Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well. Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: .sandypawsrescue.
