My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped. 

* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.



Adoption Fee: $850

Meet **Jelly Bean**, the pint-sized snuggle queen with a heart as sweet as her name! This 4 year old Shih Tzu is the definition of an easy-going love bug, happily fitting into any household with her charming personality and low-maintenance lifestyle. From the moment she arrived at her foster home, Jelly Bean made herself right at home—she gave the resident cat a polite hello, found the coziest spot on the couch, and declared herself the queen of cuddle time. Whether she’s lounging next to you, rolling into the perfect nap position, or gazing at you with those big, soulful eyes, Jelly Bean has mastered the art of making you feel like the most important person in the world (as long as you don’t expect her to eat from a regular bowl—she has *standards*, after all).

 

Jelly Bean’s daily routine is as delightful as she is. She patiently waits for her humans to wake up in the morning, enjoys a short stroll to take in the neighborhood sights and smells, and then settles in for a well-deserved nap. Throughout the day, she alternates between snoozing in her favorite spots and gently reminding you that belly rubs are a non-negotiable part of life. She’s playful but never over-the-top—expect occasional zoomies and gentle nibbles during playtime, which can easily be redirected to a toy. Whether she’s lounging in her X-pen while you’re out, charming strangers at an outdoor café, or bravely leading the way (for a little while) on a hike, Jelly Bean’s adaptable and laid-back nature makes her the perfect companion for any adventure—big or small.

 

Jelly Bean may be small, but her personality is larger than life. She’s polite to other dogs, respectful of cats, and an all-around friendly gal who loves meeting new people. While she’s not much of a barker, she *does* believe in expressing her thoughts when there’s food involved—like when you’re cooking and she thinks you need a friendly reminder that she’s right there, waiting for a taste. Her quirky habits, like needing a flat plate for meals and water bowls filled to the brim (because deep bowls are simply unacceptable for a face as flat as hers), only add to her irresistible charm. If you’re looking for a devoted, funny, and affectionate companion who’s just as happy cuddling on the couch as she is exploring the world by your side, Jelly Bean is the perfect match. All she asks in return is love, treats, and maybe a comfy spot next to you at bedtime.

Jelly Bean is an option for a novice or experienced home. If there are children they need to be over the age of 5.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
