About Jellybean

Meet Jellybean. Jellybean is a one-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, weighing 50 pounds—a great size for those who want a dog that can keep up but isn’t overly large. She thrives in the company of other dogs and has a blast with her foster home's resident pup, enjoying wrestling, chasing, and engaging in fun outdoor play. Jellybean also loves neighborhood strolls and playing fetch. This sensitive girl takes her time adjusting to new faces and situations. She tends to be shy when meeting new people, especially men, preferring to warm up gradually. Once she gets comfortable, her sweet and playful demeanor shines through. Jellybean is not the type to rush into an introduction; instead, she observes before making her move. Given her sensitive nature, she’s ideally suited for an adult home or one with dog-savvy older children, avoiding a household with younger kids. A calm, predictable environment allows Jellybean to feel safe, helping her grow into the confident dog we know she can be. To aid her anxiety, she’s been placed on Fluoxetine, which costs about $12 a month. Her forever family should be ready to continue this treatment, providing the time and consistency she requires. Despite her Australian Shepherd lineage, Jellybean is fairly low-key. She prefers a home without constant activity and enjoys a set routine of walks, playtime, and gentle companionship. A fenced yard is a must for her—she enjoys exploring, playing, and relaxing in a secure outdoor space where she doesn’t feel overwhelmed. If you're looking for a gentle and cautious companion, Jellybean is ready to blossom with your patience and care. Once you earn her trust, she’ll share her loyal and silly side, making her a delightful addition to your life. Jellybean is crate-trained and house trained, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Adopters must live within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA. Indoor homes only.
