Jelly Bean - American Staffordshire Terrier and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Princeton, Massachusetts

Meet Jelly Bean! This precious girl and her sister, Buttons (also up for adoption!) are siblings whose story began with being abandoned in a parking lot in Tennessee. Thankfully, they are now safe in a loving foster home where they're getting the care, guidance, and affection every puppy deserves while they prepare for their forever families. They will be ready to travel the beginning of August.

Like any young pups, both are full of curiosity, playfulness, and joyful enthusiasm. They love exploring the world around them, playing with toys, making new friends, and soaking up all the attention they can get. Every day is an adventure, and every experience is an opportunity to learn.

Their foster family is helping them build a strong foundation by working on puppy basics each day, but they are still very much babies. Their future families should be ready to continue their training, socialization, and house manners with patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement. Raising a puppy takes time and commitment, but it is also one of life's most rewarding experiences.

Jelly Bean and Buttons are looking for loving homes where they will be cherished as members of the family. They need people who are excited to be their teachers, adventure buddies, and lifelong best friends.

In return, they'll offer endless laughter, unconditional love, and the special bond that only a puppy can bring.

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS: You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience. This requirement is for your benefit and your puppy's, so if you experience behavioral issues, you have a point of contact.

PLEASE--Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?
