Story
Meet Brooklyn! She came to us as an owner surrender. This beautiful girl is about 1.5-2 years old, fully house trained, weighs about 55lbs, utd on vaccines & vetting, spayed, and absolutely loves people of all sizes. Her current foster family says that she is the perfect house guest. She is a super wiggle butt & has quite a bit of energy. She is dog reactive, so we are looking for a home with no other dogs. She is heart worm negative.

Meet Dozer!! Believe me he is a bulldozer of looooove!! He is available for foster to adopt. He is a happy wiggle butt!! He is up to date on vaccines, but not neutered yet, he has his neuter appointment set up though. He is also heartworm positive & is going through treatment. If you foster him, once he is through his heartworm treatment & gets neutered, you can officially adopt him. In the meantime, our rescue pays for all food, vet appointments, and all other necessities. You provide the love, care & transportation to vet appointments.

Story
Capone came to us on Monday, August 14th, 2023. He was found in Chicago last week, taken to the shelter, nobody came looking for him, so the finder brought him home to Cleveland, Ohio. He visited our veterinarian on Wednesday. It is hard to tell what originally happened to his skin, but he was given a course of antibiotics, and his skin is all healed up. The best guess is something hot, or a chemical was poured on him. What we do know is that he will NEVER have to endure anything like that ever again!! He is fully vetted & utd on all vaccines. He iwas a little underweight when he came to us, at 38lbs. He is just about at the goal weight of 45lbs. now. He is about 2 years old. He is very treat motivated, and knows some basic commands. He is fully house trained, and is good with dogs. He is chipped, neutered & ready for his furevers! If you are interested in this handsome guy, with the softest fut that you have ever felt, please let us know.

Story
If you followed our page, you may remember this boy. Chester is the emaciated dog that was found with his sisters this past summer. Chester was chained up with a prong collar around his neck in horrific conditions. He was so weak that he couldn’t stand without falling. We had no idea if he would make it, but with all the prayers he did, along with his sisters, Now this sweet boy, is READY TO FIND HIS FOREVER HOME AND HE IS HEART WORM FREE! Chester is about 3 years old, and this boy has blossomed into a beefy heartthrob that knows he is cute and works his charming personality for any belly rubs he can get. This beef cake loves to be hugged! He thrives on it. Chester is a true sweetheart! Not surprising, he loves treats of all kinds and will sit for them if asked. He loves stuffy toys, and he will entertain himself endlessly with toys. Once he trusts you, he will give you the toy to grab. Due to his past circumstances, he can be a bit protective of his toys and does not like them to be grabbed from him unless he gives them to you. Once you build a bond with him, though, it greatly subsides. He also bonds and builds trust with women a lot quicker than men. Chester will need to be the only animal in the home, and children ages 12 and up are recommended. This boy loves to go on walks, crash in your lap, and sprawl out on any comfy bed! Chester is pretty laid back, and he is looking for a home with a fenced-in backyard so that he can sunbathe, explore, and be by your side. This boy gives so much love and is so deserving to receive that type of love back. Chester may have had a sad beginning to life, but he is looking forward to finding the next permanent home that is willing to give him the commitment, kindness, and love he deserves. Is that with you? If you are interested in meeting Chester, please message us at euclidpetpals2@yahoo.com. It is not a first come, first serve adoption, but the right home we feel is best to suit his needs.

Story
Spring showers are here, but that's no problem for Luke, the 2-3 year old chocolate pit with a stylish rubber ducky raincoat! Luke may be big and brawny, but he's a gentle giant at heart. When Luke first came to us, he was very underweight and in need of some TLC. He's still gaining weight, but he loves his treats and knows how to sit for them. Life at the shelter has been tough for him, he isn’t a fan of his kennel at all and who can blame him? But once he's outside of his kennel, Luke loves to just chill, sniff around the yard, and find his favorite toys. He's also a big fan of ear and belly rubs. Luke is a strong boy and will need an adopter who is on the stronger side that can help him with his leash manners. But don't let his size fool you, he's a total softie who just wants to be loved. With a patient and loving family, Luke will thrive and become the loyal companion he was always meant to be. So if you're looking for a big, brawny, and adorable dog to brighten up your spring days, come meet Luke today! With his rubber ducky raincoat, he's ready for any weather. And with his playful personality and love for snuggles, he's sure to make a wonderful addition to your family. If you are interested in meeting Luke, message us to set up a potential meet and greet
