Story
Who is my BEST dog available...? Depends what you mean by "best". If I had to choose though, it would be Betsy Ross. Hands down. Betsy is our second longest resident (Tilly being the longest) who also came from South Carolina pending euthanization. She's our pack leader in our home and her role here is to help keep other dogs in order. Betsy gives solid corrections, though, still need to be monitored as not all dogs respond well. If there's another dog in the home that likes to play "Chief", I will not let them socialize or have limited contact depending on a few things. For example, they can only be inside the house together. Not outside. I've had a few of those. Has a very low-key personality where I could be doing 20 million things that day, and she'll be quietly nearby - being patient. Betsy is forgiving and very loyal. Other people could be petting her but she'll keep her eyes on me like; "They might be petting me, but you're still my number one." Perhaps it could be a little off putting for some adopters since they want her attention, but you could earn this perfect, loyal pooch all for yourself. While she might not be overly affectionate, Betsy gives big smiles and tap dances everytime you come home. It's the greatest thing to come home to because you truly feel missed and appreciated. She's middle-aged but not ready for retirement and does enjoy walks while being good with the leash. But, she's perfectly content just staying home, too. This makes her very flexible for many levels of activity in homes. Her training is great. She's a great listener, goes in her crate when asked or when she knows it's time (meals), doesn't destroy the house, and keeps potty outside. If I have to correct her, she responds well. Think her only true downfall is she gets overstimulated with going outside and the overdrive makes her reactive to certain things. But, inside, she couldn't care less. So, with that, listening isn't as strong but we communicate with touch and she does well with that. Like helping her snap back to reality. Overall, Betsy is a super easy dog where it's kind of like when you want a furry companion minus half the work. You'll still have to make sure you establish boundaries ESPECIALLY if you have other animals in the home. Make sure she knows who's leader in the home and don't let her take over because that's when dogs start becoming a menace. Do I think Betsy could turn problematic? Yes. Like most dogs in an unstructured home. But, Betsy is pretty easy going and compliant. She isn't a rebel... except when she isn't ready to get up in the morning. It's like dragging dead weight off a bed. Betsy is due to retire as our pack leader and would love to see her go into a good home soon. She's flexible with the environment. Perhaps a retired person, or someone with kids. Other dogs in the home are fine but would do best with laid-back companions. Slow introductions are a MUST. She needs about 3 -days with new dogs which is not uncommon. All dogs should be introduced slowly.

Story
Marnie has been in our care for 2 1/2 years now – making her our longest resident. While she has been in a foster home off and on over the last 2 years, she really needs a home of her own. Despite her sweet nature and playful spirit, Marnie has been continuously overlooked by potential adopters. Within the shelter's confines, Marnie's demeanor is one of fear and anxiety, a stark contrast to the vibrant spirit she embodies when outside. The open space allows her to revel in the joy of running through the yard. Currently in foster care, Marnie is finally experiencing the love and care she deserves. Marnie currently resides with a female dog and 2 cats. Her foster dad frequently takes her to the dog park, providing her with socialization and playtime that she cherishes. However, at this time we are recommending that Marnie go to a home with no other dogs. While Marnie may require some time to warm up to new faces, her affection knows no bounds once trust is established. Known for her penchant for giving kisses (I mean, look at that tongue!), Marnie is a devoted companion who craves human connection. However, due to her exuberant energy levels, households with small children may not be the best match for her. A fenced-in yard is essential for Marnie to release her boundless energy. Once Marnie has released her energy, she transforms into the most affectionate cuddle buddy, cherishing moments of closeness with her beloved humans. Let's spread the word and help Marnie find her forever home filled with warmth and understanding. Message us on Facebook or email us at euclidpetpals2@yahoo.com to schedule a meet and greet. All household members, including any dogs living in the home, must be present for the meet and greet!

Story
Hey there, fabulous humans! It's your gal, Bernadette, but you can call me Bern or even Freckles – I've got more nicknames than treats in a jar, and I love 'em all, especially when they come with compliments about my stunning looks. So, here's the scoop: I strutted into this shelter a few moons ago after being found at a local park. The guess is I was dumped there, but hey, no hard feelings – I'm ready for a fresh start! Now, let me tell you, when I first landed here, I was a bundle of nerves. Can you blame me? New place, new faces, but thanks to some awesome volunteers, I improve everyday. They discovered my love for a sprawling yard, I definitely need a fenced in yard, because this gal needs space to run, zoom around, and soak up the glorious sunshine. Snow, you say? Bring it on! I've got a feeling I'll be a snowflake-catching extraordinaire. Sure, I'm on the high-energy side, and yeah, I might flex those muscles a bit, but give me a few minutes, and I remember my leash manners. I'm thinking an active, young-at-heart household (no super young children) is my jam – you know, where the adventures never stop. Now, I do have a tiny confession: I'm a bit picky with my canine companions, so I'm dreaming of a forever home where I'm the solo pet, soaking up all the love. I'm 2-3 years young, and I've got a lot to learn, but I'm a quick study. I need someone who speaks dog and can help me polish my manners. Once the zoomies are out of my system, I transform into a cuddle connoisseur. Picture this: me snuggled up next to you, enjoying the cozy vibes, maybe with a peanut butter licky mat in paw – perfection! I'm ready to ditch the shelter life and move into my own fabulous forever home. Are you the awesome human who'll make my dreams come true? Let's make it happen!

Story
Meet Ruby, again! You may recognize this brindle beauty from the Clear the Shelters segment on Channel 3 News last Thursday. Ruby came to us back in July, and now she is looking for her forever home. Ruby is approximately 2-3 years old, and medium in size (approximately 50-55 lbs). While she no longer has that puppy energy, she still loves to play and run around the yard. But, at the end of the day, she’ll be more than happy to plop herself on the couch and take in all the snuggles she can get. A fenced in yard is a plus so she can run and play, but not a requirement. She knows a few basic commands, and will be happy to sit - for a treat, of course! She has shown positive interest in other dogs at the shelter, but if you have another dog, a meet and greet is required. We think she would do best with older kids, due to her size. If you’re interested in scheduling a meet and greet, message us on Facebook or email us at euclidpetpals2@yahoo.com to set up a meet and greet. We require all household members to be present at the meet and greet, including any dogs living in the home.

Story
Meet Ozzie! Ozzie (who came in with another dog, Harriette) was found running at large after the terrible storms we had in mid-August. Although Ozzie and Harriette are not a bonded pair, we believe they lived together. Ozzie is a short, chonky boy who has nothing but love to give. We estimate his age to be around 2 years. He is a super affectionate boy who loves attention, and lots of pets! And, don’t let his stature fool you - Ozzie has a quite a bit of energy and loves running through the yard playing and chasing balls. A fenced in yard would be ideal so he can run and play, but not mandatory. Tiny tots may not be the best fit for this little tank because he likes to jump and run, so kids 8 and older are recommended. If you’re interested in scheduling a meet and greet, message us on Facebook or email us at euclidpetpals2@yahoo.com to set up a meet and greet. We require all household members to be present at the meet and greet, including any dogs living in the home.

To help Gus get a head start on being he his best self, he is beginning a 6 week training course next week at Cold Nose Companions! Gus is a bundle of joy who would thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard where he can run and play to his heart's content.

Story
My wife and I have had the pleasure of owning Stella for over five years. We adopted her from a shelter when she was a young dog, roughly 6 months - one year. She is the sweetest pup. We planned on Stella staying with us for as long as she walked the earth, raising a family with her. That said, it has proved challenging over the past two years to give her the life she deserves while simultaneously raising a family. We have a two year old daughter and another child on the way. Due to Stella’s size, strength, and speed, we act with significant precaution to have our toddler walking around her. Stella has unintentionally knocked her over numerous times. This forces us to crate Stella often when our daughter is out and about, and we know this will only increase (as will our anxiety) as we bring another young one into the world. This is why we are looking to rehome her. Stella is extremely loyal, loving (she is the biggest snuggler), eager to please, and a lover of people.
