Ida Kendall

Pet of the Month

Yavapai Humane Society


Hi, my name is Jellybean and I’m a year and a half-old Shiba Inu mix looking for my forever home at Yavapai Humane Society. I’m an outgoing gal, and I’ve never met a person—or dog—I didn’t like. I enjoy taking walks and playing fetch with toys in the park. I also love crawling into your lap so I can have snuggles and undivided attention. I love treats and am happy to learn tricks for yummy snacks. Come meet me today at the Adoptions Center, 1625 Sundog Ranch Road or see my adoption profile at www.yavapaihumane.org.
