Shay goes with Sophie BONDED PAIR's story

　　Sophie and Shay video https://youtu.be/eItXbrGGvjQ These gorgeous girls are not exactly having a Happy New Year. One New Years Day, these little ladies were surrendered to the EAPL from the only home they have ever known. To say the girls were frightened is an understatement. It took a week of hand feeding, dog appeasing pheromone collars, and patience to get them out of their shells. They are finally starting to show their true bright colors. Little Sophie and Shay are a bonded pair and may only be adopted together.

　　Shay is a Mini Pin mix of sorts. She is cinnamon colored and shall we say a little chunky. We have consulted a veterinarian to come up with a weight loss plan for her. Shay is only 2 years and 2 months old. She looks like she has a tiny head on her little fat body which weighs in a 10.2 lbs. Eventually, she will have a lean body to match her sweet little head. Her little tail is docked. Shay is sweet and funny, making anyone around her laugh at her antics. She was extremely shy and frightened upon arrival in foster care. She warmed up to the other dogs in the home very quickly, but people took a little longer. Now, she is a lap dog who thrives on and demands attention. She is housebroken, but her signals are vague as she just goes near the door and looks at you. She is a great sister to Sophie. Shay does have a fear of men and it takes slightly longer for her to warm up to men. Her foster Dad is working slowly with her to overcome her fears.

　　Sophie is a gorgeous 1 year old Chihuahua. She is brown with white on her chest and the tips of her dainty little paws. Sophie has a lean gracile body and weighs in at 5.4 lbs. Her face is paws-a-tively stunning as she still has a bit of puppy there with wide soulful brown eyes and thick black whiskers. Sophie took quite a while to come out of her shell. Sophie hides when she is unsure or frightened. She spends as much time as possible attached to her foster mom. She is loving and sweet and loves to give kisses and full body hugs. Sophie is housebroken and goes out when she needs to with the other dogs, but as of yet, she has not asked to go out on her own.

　　Both of these dogs need socialized with humans (Sophie with other dogs) and would benefit greatly from training. They need patience, acceptance and love.

　　These dogs come fully equipped! The have a large playpen, beds which look like huts, leashes, collars, harnesses, coats, halloween costumes, food, and blankets. They only need bowls of their own.

　　These little love bugs need to move quickly into a forever home situation. We believe that if they become too attached to their foster home, that they will fall into the same trauma that befell them on New Years. Do you have a home that needs 2 little bundles of love? Can you be the home that helps to heal their hearts and bring out the happy little personalities of these two? Our New Years wish is that Sophie and Shay find their perfect and loving forever home. Please help us succeed to make their dreams come true. Put in an application at
