About Jellyroll

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Meet Jellyroll, a charming Mastiff mix who is eager to become your loyal companion. Jellyroll is about 3 years old and the team at the rescue adores her friendly, affectionate nature. Because she spent some time fending for herself on the streets, she's still learning the finer points of house manners, but with patience and consistency, she'll flourish in a loving home. Jellyroll enjoys the company of male dogs around her size, but she prefers to enjoy her meals undisturbed due to some food guarding tendencies—so it's best to feed her separately. While she hasn't been cat tested, her large size means she would do best in a home with older children. Jellyroll is already spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are up to date, so she's ready to settle into her forever home. Born under the sign of Leo, she's sure to light up your life with her bold personality and warm heart. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
