Jelly Roll’s Story

Jelly Roll came into the SNAFU Rescue via a breeder release. His breeder wanted him to be placed in a loving home and spend the rest of his years being a spoiled pet.

Jelly Roll has a quiet, super chill, laidback, gentle, and reserved disposition.  He is the ultimate snuggle bug who enjoys couch time!  His favorite pastimes include hanging around his humans, following his humans, sitting on the lap of his humans, and cuddling his humans.  Yes, Jelly Roll is very much a Velcro Frenchie!!!  He is such a friendly, happy boy who loves extra cuddles and being snuggled.  Jelly Roll enjoys the company of other animals but tends to stand back and watch and only engage in play if the other dog approaches him.  He gingerly will commandeer the lap or hands of the person offering affection but has shown that he does like to pick is favorite human and only asks for pets from others if his “favorite” is not around.  When he isn’t super-glued to his beloved human, you can find him trotting around the backyard. When his foster siblings are enjoying the outdoors with him, he will partake in some play, but only if they start the play.  Although he prefers constant attention from his human, he doesn’t beg, whine or make demands. After a perfect amount of time soaking up the outdoor sunshine, Jelly Roll will search for a warm place to snuggle up or preferably find a lap for a much-needed nap or even grab a nylabone for a quick nibble before laying down his precious head.  Did we mention napping and snuggles again?!?!  Jelly Roll will always look for his people to partake in a cuddle session during his snooze.  He truly just wants to be with his people all the time as he finds comfort in their presence if they happen to be in the same room as he is.  Jelly Roll’s overall relaxed disposition allows him to get along with his furry foster siblings his size. He mostly has a very kind temperament which is favorable when he is around other dogs.  Jelly Roll loves to ride in the car and walks on leash like a champ! He has yet to meet any human that he hasn’t fallen head over paw for!  Because of his lighthearted, gentle, and calm disposition, we feel Jelly Roll will do perfectly well with other balanced dogs equal to his size and with dog-savvy, gentle, respectful children. He currently has 4 children in his foster home that range from 4 yrs old up and he does great with them.  We also feel Jelly Roll would thrive with other balanced furry creatures but would also do fine being the only dog since he loves humans more than anything.  Slow introductions to other dogs and children in the household are a must and he should always be supervised to make sure both he and they are kept safe.

Jelly Roll is working on potty training!  This is a whole new world to him, and he is making some progress every single day!!  As with all of our dogs, any adopter will need to be patient and willing to continue working on his potty training as he acclimates to his new home and surroundings.  Jelly Roll will need a signal for potty.  He is 100% crate trained and does not have any accidents while crated. He sleeps in his crate at night quietly and is also fine crated when someone is home, although his foster family allows him to be with them when they are home.  With time we’re sure Jelly Roll would love to share the bed with his beloved humans though once he’s acclimated and has learned his new family’s routines.

Medically, Jelly Roll is in great health!  He has been neutered, microchipped, nares widened, dental with extractions, heartworm tested, updated on vaccinations/dewormings, and has been given a clean bill of health by our veterinarian!  Jelly Roll does take an over-the-counter allergy med to help him with his seasonal allergies.

Jelly Roll would do great in any type of home!  Jelly Roll has mastered short steps (3-4) but is still leery of a full set of stairs, so he’s working on gaining confidence there in his foster home.  Because Jelly’s leash walking skills are so great, he could live in pretty much any type of home. He does enjoy the fenced in back yard but would be fine without it if his family is ok taking him on multiple walks every day.  For him it’s all about being with his family and most favorite human as much as possible! A multiple-floor apartment-style dwelling would be okay for Jelly Roll.  Since Jelly Roll is a quiet, chill little boy who LOVES car rides, we think he would love to go to work with his new family if they wanted to take him with them to the office once he is fully potty trained.  He would really love it If his family had a part-time or full-time work-from-home or stay-at-home parent as he enjoys the company of his humans SO MUCH.  Jelly Roll is a little snuggle bug looking for a family that can offer unlimited lap time, allow him to be held like a baby, offer many belly scratches, and have lots of love and attention. He will repay all the love with his unwavering loyalty!  Jelly Roll is truly the sweetest boy that so desperately wants to be the apple of someone’s eye. He needs attention, proper guidance, and patience in a home with a carefree attitude and a more lazy lifestyle. He cherishes his time with his people on the couch cuddling watching TV and really just being with them all the time.  Jelly Roll is an easy-going sweet, squishy soft, and loving boy that will make his favorite people feel like they are the most important people in the world!!
