Story
Allow us to introduce you to Norris. This charming fella came to us some time ago as a stray. Initially timid, Norris has come a long way since then, now reveling in playful activities. With a toy, a yard, or even a baby pool, Norris is the happiest boy when he is enjoying swimming and playtime. His play style might involve a bit of vocalization, but it's all in the spirit of fun. As far as Norris is concerned…there is never enough toys! After his energetic bursts, Norris finds joy in stretching out and lounging. He adores nestling his nose under your arm for head rubs and sitting snugly between your legs. At around 2 years old, he's a leash-walking pro, making him a great companion for an active lifestyle. He will need an active household. While he's tolerant with other dogs, we believe he'd thrive best as the sole pet in the household. We do think he would thrive with someone who has a bit of experience with owning dogs. He would thrive with someone who knows how to lead him to be the best boy. Due to his exuberant nature, we recommend a home without young children and a securely fenced yard for this lively boy. This sweetheart just needs his very own forevermore. Is that with you? If you are interested in Norris, send us a message to set up a potential meet and greet!

Story
We'd like to re-introduce you to Winnie, a remarkable dog who's come a long way since we last introduced her a few months ago. If you remember she rescued by a Good Samaritan and had an an iliac fracture and MAJOR ear troubles. Thanks to the unwavering support of our incredible community, we were able to provide her with the necessary medical care, granting her the gift of a pain-free life through total ear canal ablation surgery she needed. Now, the time has come for us to find Winnie her forever home. At around 5-6 years old, Winnie is not just any dog; she's a TOTAL SWEETHEART! She has been living with a foster and has shown great compatibility with their other large dog, Scottie. Day by day, she's making huge strides in meeting new people. Instead of being terrified, she now greets strangers with excitement. Her transformation is nothing short of inspiring. Winnie does reasonably well around cats but may need some separation when left alone. She's learning to understand them, but she’s not aggressive towards them. When it comes to children, we believe she would thrive best in a home with older kids, as her playfulness can be exuberant, akin to a bull in a China shop. She also can be a bit mouthy when she wants attention, but it’s more gentle and nothing major. For Winnie, a fenced-in yard would be ideal, she would thrive in an active home and one that can continue nurturing her newfound confidence. Is that with you? If you are interested in potentially meeting Winnie, send us a message!

Story
READ FULL ADOPTION POST Hey world, we’d like you to get reacquainted with our Twig. He was briefly adopted out, and it didn’t work out. But that’s okay. This adorable guy had a rocky start, but he's been blossoming in the care of an amazing foster and her pup. Twig's past is a mystery, while we know he was abandoned and emaciated…what he went through prior had to be bad. He is scared of being hurt by those he doesn’t know, and he cowers with fear when a voice is raised. He's got a heart as big as his loyalty, and he's fiercely protective of his chosen humans, kind of like a pint-sized chihuahua with a heart of gold. Now, Twig's looking for a special human with a PhD in "Rescue Dog Rehab," preferably a widow or a lone ranger – no kiddos or party animals please. We're talking about a tranquil, zen-like household here, folks. But here's the magic of Twig: when he loves, he loves with all his heart. You'll never find a more loyal and devoted dog. We say that a lot, but we truly mean it with Twig. His love is nothing short of inspiring. We’ve had him working with a trainer, and he's come a long way. Once he trusts you, you'll see just how sweet and loving he can be. His adoption process will include a few meet and greets with him and the trainer for a smooth transition and to provide you with the tools to understand and support him. Here's the cool part - he's great with other dogs, so if you've got a four-legged friend, they'll be instant BFFs. He is crate trained and housebroken. He can get bored and can occasionally chew, so toys are a must! Twig's hobbies include cuddling, soaking up the sun, earning treats like a pro, and going on car rides. He's a laid-back dude, always happy to be by your side. So, if you're a compassionate, patient, and experienced dog owner, ready to open your heart to Twig's quirks and all, reach out to us and help share his story!

Honey

American Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Allow us to introduce you to Honey, a sweetie, sweeter than honey. Her journey to our shelter began on the side of a freeway, where she was found very scared with sunburned ears/tail, total scorched paws, and a body covered in scars and scratches that tugged at our heartstrings. Initially shut down, Honey gradually learned to trust again with the help of our compassionate individuals who sat with her and shared her kennel, offering the comfort she needed when she first came in. Over time, Honey has healed up physically and emotionally. While we may never fully understand her past, we do recommend that she be the ONLY sole pet in her new home. Honey is still working on her leash manners but is making progress daily. With humans, she is an absolute sweetheart, finding her greatest joy in cuddling on your lap, wrapped in blankets, enjoying treats, and playfully chasing squeaky toys. Honey would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard and an experienced owner who understands the needs of dogs that have overcome a challenging past. She would benefit from someone with patience and the guidance she deserves. At a little over a year old, she's the perfect companion for an active individual or family ready to give her the love and attention she craves. Is that with you? If you are interested in Honey, send us a message!

Story
Our hearts ache as we post this about our beloved Marnie. She's was on a journey for over a year, searching for that one special place to call her forever home. Marnie is once again embarking on the quest for her forever home, as her last stop turned out to be less than ideal, and our foster homes are full with other animals in need. What Marnie truly longs for is the companionship of another playful medium to large canine buddy. She truly comes alive when she's surrounded by her fellow four-legged pals who match her enthusiasm and energy. Marnie's zest for life is infectious, and having a playmate to share adventures with is nothing short of a dream for her. Of course, Marnie isn't without her quirks. She could use a little assistance with her leash manners, but with the right touch of patience, understanding, and training, this hurdle can be overcome. A fenced-in yard would be an incredible hope for her new home, granting her the freedom to frolic and run whenever she wants! Marnie is a bundle of warmth, cuddles, and affection. Her heart brims with love waiting to be shared. Marnie deserves a chance to find a family that will cherish and adore her. PLEASE SHARE TO HELP Marnie find her forever home. If you're captivated by Marnie's spirit and wish to offer her the love and care she deserves, please send us a message.

Story
Allow us to introduce you to three remarkable, large puppies: Alabama, Virginia (darker colored female), and Georgia(lighter colored female). They came into our care from a bad situation. These pups, were not well-socialized, had little experience of being puppies and were understandably frightened when they first arrived to us. It was heartbreaking seeing them fear a leash, be weary of grass, and especially scared of people. In a short period though, they learned to trust our volunteers, revealing their personalities. While they are 8 months old now, they still have the manners of younger puppies. These adorable cuties also had to overcome malnourishment, which makes them a bit protective of their food and occasional toy around other animals, though they are perfectly fine with people. They thoroughly enjoy playing with other dogs, and now very friendly of people. We recommend potential adopters with some experience, as these pups require understanding, confidence-building, and strong leadership. They DO NOT need to be adopted together. Despite their past challenges, they are incredibly sweet, affectionate, and simply long for the attention and love you can provide, in between their joyful bursts of zoomies. They are enthusiastic about toys, relish snuggling on cozy comforters, and are experts at sniffing out any treat within reach. Watching them play is a source of endless entertainment. These lovable pups truly deserve a patient and loving forever home. Is that you? Please note, Georgia, Virginia, and Alabama's adoption is NOT on a first come, first served basis. Applications will be screened with a pre screening questionnaire their needs, if there is multiple inquiries. If you are interested, please email us at euclidpetpals2@yahoo.com with the name of the one you are interested in for the prescreening questionnaire
