Jelly Bean

From Foster: I was able to foster Jelly Bean right after she weened her 5 puppies and got spayed. She has been the sweetest thing in the world! She constantly wants to be near me or on me. She likes to jump up as if to tell you Please pick me up! She likes to lean her head against your chest. She knows to go outside to do her business and she sleeps all night in a pen. She hasn't taken treats from me yet (but she might suspect there's meds in it!). She has gone on walks with my other dog and she almost wants to play but my puppy is a little too rambunctious and too big for her but she does tolerate her. She's fine with my older dog and they just hang out. I don't know if she is picky about her food or she is cautious because that's how I snuck her meds into her. She doesn't like my puppy being near her when she is eating, so I would recommend feeding her separately if you have other dogs. She seems weary of other dogs around toys but again this was around my puppy that wants everything everyone else has. But again she doesn't quite play yet. She would love to be someone's best friend and would make a great addition to any household. Meet Jelly Bean. She is a momma of 5 and one of the sweetest girls ever. She is a great momma and has sweet/shy way about her She takes a few to warm up but once she does she loves to cuddle with you on the couch She is house trained and loves to go on walks. She needs a bit of leash training. She will brighten your day with her smile and gentle way. Jelly Bean was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. Meet and greets are by appointment only.

Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances. More questions? Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/ Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed. A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddabilityhow well dogs respond to human directionwas the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
