Additional Details:

Jelly raced 50 races and ended his career at the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville. He also raced at Wheeling Downs in WV and at Southland in Arkansas. He wasn't able to win at Southland or Wheeling so was moved down to a lower level track in hopes he would be able to compete. He finally was able to win a few races in Jacksonville but only managed to get up to B level. Jelly raced his last race on Dec 5th of 2020 before that track closed permanently. He was vetted in Jacksonville and placed by the track adoption center in a home. He was placed in a home with small children and he gradually got very stressed and anxious due their noise and activity. He was returned to the track adoption group for rehoming recently and they sent him to us. He lived with kittens while he was in the home and mostly avoided them. He loves stuffed animals and toys that squeak and loves it if you throw toys for him in the backyard so he can zoom after them. He also loves to chew on a Nylabone. He is a digger that would love to have a designated spot to to dig. He loves other dogs too. Jelly can be a little nervous in crowds and seems to be more comfortable with women than men.  He can be vocal so wouldn't be a good apartment dog. He will make noise at breakfast time and when the doorbell rings or on trash day when they 'steal' his trash. He loves short walks in areas he knows - just 20 - 30 minutes and then he is tired and ready for a nap. His former family reports that he is a great snuggler and wants to be a lap dog. He does have some sleep startle and doesn't like to be bothered when he is sleeping. Jelly snores, barks and even sings in his sleep. Jelly raced at 80lbs and has gotten up close to 90lbs so needs to take off some weight. His sire is TMC's Remedy and his dam is CTW Quintessence. He turned 3 on December 30th.
