Peanut Butter and Jelly, a resilient bonded pair of dogs, bear the scars of an unconventional past where their heads were adorned with glued costume jewels. Surrendered by their owner, these 12-year-old companions, now renamed PB & J, faced an uncertain fate until they found refuge at Sonoma County Animal Services in California.
Upon arrival, the decorative jewels were tenderly removed by a veterinarian, leaving behind visible scars on the duo. Now under the care of Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, Peanut Butter, a spirited male Beagle and Pug mix (Puggle), charms everyone with his active demeanor and smooth, crowd-pleasing presence. This 22-pound gentleman is described as calm, perfect for leisurely exploration, and exhibits a love for sniffing and wagging his tail.
Jelly, the female Chihuahua mix, weighs 14 pounds and is celebrated as one of the finest snugglers in town. This resilient pair, having endured an unusual journey, is now prepared to embark on a new chapter, eagerly awaiting the perfect forever home where they can share their love and joy with a caring family.
Meet Jelly, the petite dynamo described as ‘sweet as jam’ by the rescue. With a robust personality in her tiny frame, Jelly captures hearts by demanding attention with joyful lamb-like bouncing when excited. Currently in a Concord, California foster home, the duo’s TikTok fame has led to a heartwarming twist—their adoption fee covered by an adoring fan. Foster mom Lisa Arden’s social media video, boasting over 2.7 million views, beautifully captures the irresistible charm of Peanut Butter and Jelly on their journey to a forever home.
Gaining immense popularity, the video featuring Peanut Butter and Jelly has garnered over 408,000 likes on TikTok. Commenters expressed gratitude for the rescue’s efforts, with one user hoping for a swift adoption of the inseparable pair. Muttville emphasizes the duo’s trainability and shared love for walks, urging potential adopters to consider keeping Peanut Butter and Jelly together to preserve their strong bond in the years to come.
