I AM IN FOSTER CARE! PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION. ONCE APPROVED, PLEASE EMAIL US ( INFO@ANIMALHOUSESHELTER.COM ) OR GIVE US A CALL AND WE CAN SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOU TO MEET ME! I am 23lbs and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $150 Lil Man is a sweet, tender-hearted boy hoping to find a calm and loving place to call home. This gentle little guy has a soft personality and a quiet nature that makes him a wonderful companion. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe and comfortable, his loving side really shines. Lil Man gets along beautifully with other dogs and would do best in a peaceful home where he can settle in and blossom at his own pace. All Lil Man is looking for is a patient family who will give him the time and kindness he deserves. In return, he’ll be a loyal, sweet companion who brings warmth and quiet happiness to your home. If you’re looking for a gentle friend to share your days with, Lil Man may be the perfect match. All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption.

Story

Earle the Pearl: A Tale of Resilience and Joy Earle the Pearl is a delightful 20-pound bundle of energy, with a heart as big as his personality. At just two years old, Earle's journey began in November 2025 when he was found abandoned, tied to a fence outside a vet's office. Despite this rough start, Earle hasn't let it dampen his spirit. Personality and Activities Earle is the epitome of a “happy-go-lucky” pup. He loves to dive headfirst into activities, whether it's wrestling with his shepherd foster brother or snuggling on the sofa with his pittie foster sisters. Earle thrives on companionship and prefers to be in the midst of the action. Crate Training and Mischief While Earle isn't fond of being crated, it’s a necessary measure for his safety when his foster family is out. He can manage about four hours before he starts plotting his escape, accompanied by a serenade of canine tunes. When not crated, Earle is a curious explorer—checking out table tops, counters, and even attempting online shopping! Play and Exercise Earle is happiest with a playmate, whether it’s a fellow dog or an active family member. He enjoys exploring the fenced backyard and romping in the snow, especially when decked out in a cozy sweater. With his love for running and exceptional vertical leap, Earle needs space to expend his energy. Sleeping and House Training Earle sleeps comfortably in a crate in the bedroom at night, though he dreams of snuggling under the covers with humans and other dogs. He’s made significant progress with house training, but supervision is key due to his small bladder. His initial challenges were compounded by hookworms, but he's on the mend. Ideal Home Earle would flourish in a home with a yard and an active family. Older children and/or a canine sibling would be ideal companions for this lively pup. While his breed mix remains a mystery, his Dachshund-like physique and unique stature make him a distinctive member of any family. If you're ready to welcome a dog who’s “all in” with love and enthusiasm, Earle the Pearl might be your perfect match. Complete an application today to meet this extraordinary dog! www.k9ei.dog
