Story
If you like your dogs small in size, big on love, and perfect in personality- Meet Jelly Bean! She is absolute perfection- fun size like a little Snickers, a lap lover, friend to all, playful, Queen of the Sploot and simply an all around good time!
To truly understand the description you have to watch her video. Her size is much easier to grasp that way. We suspect she is a French Bulldog/Bulldog mix but, just visually, she is a mini-boxer. Given she is a rescue we cannot say with 100% certainty her breed or age. Estimated to be somewhere in the 1.5-2 year range, she weighs 30 lbs. If you adopt her and opt for a DNA test, please share the results. We love updates and DNA results are a favorite!

Let me really introduce you to Jelly bean, first, she is so fortunate to be waiting for her adoption day in a wonderful foster family home. Her foster has shared that she is just a joy to have around and has been an easy addition to their home. From tagging along on adventures with the kids to relaxing in the back yard, Jelly Bean is just easy company. She shared that she is fully house trained and took to using the doggy door within the first day at home. Her foster home consists of two parents, two kids, and two dogs! She is great with the kids who are 11 and 12. They love that she likes to tag along when they head to the creek to fish or hope in the car to go get a snow cone. The foster mom says that Jelly Bean is absolutely the best car-rider she has ever fostered. Bean sits quietly in the back seat, choosing the middle space, and just hangs out. The fact that she isn’t jumping around or bothering the kids makes it easy to let her join for dog-friendly errands or treat runs. Plus, her size only adds to the ease.
Jelly Beans two foster dog pals are complete opposites of each other and she navigates the difference in personality well. One is a young, playful male with a similar play style to hers. The two of them hit it off immediately going from playing to laying around together only for the cycle to start over a short time later. The other dog is a large and built out of laziness with stern but loving auntie energy and Bean respects her. Outside of her foster home she has been introduced to a variety of dogs and she has really shown an understanding for reading other dogs and not pushing when they are not interested. Her type, and dream buddy in her forever home, would be a playful dog with a balance of play and rest. The rest part is key, she isn’t built for endurance, she has bursts of energy that are immediately followed by sploot sessions. She is the queen of a sploot and honestly, we don’t know if she ever chooses another position. A flying super hero is what she looks like and it is a solid 10 out of 10 on the cuteness scale. She has fully mastered sit and has a great default sit when waiting for a treat or for her food to be served. She did show off a little dance though we don’t know if it is a “trick” or just a cute little thing she does.
Her dream home is one that has some flexibility. She is quiet, her foster only has heard her bark one time, and she has solid leash skills so she could easily be an apartment girlie. Just the same, house with a yard life looks good on her and it gives her a natural outlet for her playful energy and random zoooms. From everything we have seen, she would enjoy having another dog in the home to play with. If an only-dog, she will benefit from regular walks, enrichment, on-going socializing and occasional days at a doggie day-care for her dog-friendly playful side to be satisfied. In the same way, she would be wonderful in a family, with slightly older kids bing the best fit- 5+ as she can be eager for love and occasionally jump up in a way that could knock over a little one on unsteady legs. I could also easily see her being the absolute best fu-baby for a couple or perfect co-pilot for a solo-flying bachelor/bachelorette. Jelly Bean would do best in a cat free home. She is very interested in cats and goes in for an overly eager chase, which whether playful or not, stresses cats out and that is no fun.
Jellis a loving, playful, affectionate sweetheart who is ready to scooch in close, and maybe sneak a gentle kiss within a few moment of meeting you. Not in a pushy way though, her approach is gentle and so friendly. We were all impressed by how balanced her energy is, Sh
With her easy-going nature and love for people, she is sure to be an adored and cherished companion for any family or individual looking for petite perfection!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
