Jelly Belly - Our Newest Rescue

Read all the way through for Updates!Jelly Belly is Safe! This BBD (Big Beautiful Doggie) was out of time at the shelter but thanks to some teamwork she is safe and sound today!

Jelly Belly or JB as she has been affectionately nicknamed by her sponsor Jen is now safe and sound at Light Street Animal Hospital getting a complete veterinary work up.

Jelly Belly came in as a stray at BARCS where she quickly became a staff favorite. Thanks to Amie and Kat at the shelter for getting her story out there! Thank you to Jen and Maddy for getting her into the hospital and finally thanks to Kathy at Happy Hound Hotel for allowing us to board JB there while we work on her foster home applications.

Jelly Belly has no history since she was found strolling the streets. Her age is estimated at 3.5 years old. She has done well with other dogs and shows minimal interest in kitties right now. We will have to test her further after we get to know her better. She has a very outgoing and loving personality and her tail is the fastest moving part of her whole body! :)

Jelly Belly needs a a foster home! We would like to find someone that will not let her snack and keep her on a strict diet and excercise her often. She definately can be a couch potato but you just can't share a bag of cookies with her while watching your shows. :) If you are interested in adopting her that is an option as well but she really needs to be in foster care first. Foster to Adopt is an excellent way to find out if this is a match for you. Email Michelle for more information.

Check out her youtube video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opzgCiXXL_w

Jelly Belly will be boarding possibly long term at Happy Hound Hotel in Hanover, PA. If you would like to contribute to her boarding, we would welcome it with a wagging tail!

Thanks to everyone that has helped this poor girl!

New VIDEO!

Help Us Help Jelly Belly!!!

So I had some free time and I was browsing through some posts on The Pit Bull Forum (PBF). My friend that works at BARCS posted a video about a female dog named Jelly Belly. Well, lets just say it was love at first sight. I totally fell for this dog and I haven't even met her in person yet. I am going to visit her the first chance I get at the shelter this week and I am going to try my hardest to find a foster home for her.

I am a "big girl" myself, I can totally relate with the struggles Ms. Jelly Belly faces so I guess we can begin our Weight Loss Journey together! :)

Watch this video and tell me you don't want to help her!! She is adorable!!!



On a serious note, EBBRR has no foster homes right now and we need your help to help the dogs. We have to have serious foster homes that can commit to a long term stay for our rescues. Jelly Belly looks so happy and spunky and she deserves a HOME.



Please email me if you think you might be up to the challenge! Michelle at mdebbrr@yahoo.com

9/18/2010 Update: Ok, so its been hard to find someone to adopt Jelly Belly straight from the shelter and my driving everyone crazy looking for a foster home hasn't worked yet either. A few people expressed interest in sponsoring her, so I am going to look into boarding her temporarily and at least by her some time. I really do not like to board/kennel a dog long term but I know its going to be a challenge to find a foster home for this girl. I don't want to give up on her! It was love right away.
If you are interested in sponsoring her boarding and vet work, please contact me. Thank you again for all your emails of support!
