Who is super wiggly, super sweet and fun? That would be Jello. This incredibly social lover boy really has that Jello wiggle all over. He's so eager for love and kindness!

Jello is doing super well in his foster home. He loves positive attention, cuddles, and belly rubs and is always ready to play in the yard or join you to explore outdoors. He's potty trained and loves exercise. Jello will thrive with adopters who can take him for lots of long walkies and help him learn a few things using positive training techniques. He is bright and willing to please (and he loves treats!). So far Jello seems to be fine around other dogs.

While he was in shelter, a volunteer who spent time with him at HRA had this to share: "Jello has lots of patience - especially when getting his picture taken. He walks really, really well on a leash and it's easy to harness and nose basic commands. He also has the most perfect ears. This boy has gotten so healthy while at HRA and is now really ready for a family."

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
