Hello, I’m Eukie — a big girl with an equally big personality and a whole lot of love to give once I feel safe. I was surrendered through no fault of my own when my family no longer had the time, space, or finances to care for me, and now I’m looking for a new forever home where I can truly settle and shine.

When I meet new people, I can be a bit shy and unsure. I might bark at first because I don’t quite know what to think, but with time, tasty treats, and gentle encouragement, I’ll gather my courage and come over to say hello. If I see another dog greeting someone confidently, that really helps — I take my cues from my dog friends and it gives me a big confidence boost. I absolutely love other dogs and gain so much reassurance from their presence. Having a confident, friendly canine companion helps me feel safe and brave, so I must live in a home with another dog who is playful, confident, and people-friendly.

I’m quite a chatty girl and I have a whole range of noises depending on what I’m trying to tell you. I enjoy affection, but on my own terms. The better I know you, the more affectionate I become, but even if we’re not cuddling, I’m perfectly happy just relaxing nearby on my bed or the floor, enjoying your company. I form strong bonds quickly and once I trust you, I like to keep you in sight — just to make sure my favourite people are close by.

I’m tolerant of handling and cope well with checks of my ears, mouth, and feet. Being lifted makes me uncomfortable, so that’s best done by two people if it’s ever needed. At the vet, I was a little hesitant at first — new people can be worrying — but once I realised there were treats involved, I relaxed quickly. I had no reaction at all to my kennel cough vaccination. Grooming is fine for me too, as long as I’m calm — if I’m feeling playful, I might try to turn the brush into a toy!

Speaking of toys… I love them. All kinds! Tug, fetch, or independent play — I’m happy however you want to play, or I can keep myself entertained if you’re busy. I’m polite around food and happy to share both my food bowl and high-value treats. I can also sit and give my paws when asked.

On walks, I’m strong and can pull at times, so I’ll need to wear a head collar to help my humans keep good control of me. With consistency and guidance, I’ll continue improving my lead manners.I’m house trained, was crate trained as a puppy, and I’ve been allowed on the furniture. I can be a little anxious when travelling, but I do settle once I’m on my way.

I’m looking for a home with someone that understands sensitive dogs like me and has owned an anxious large breed previously, and already has a confident dog to become my emotional support companion.  In return, I’ll give you loyalty, conversation, and a whole lot of heart.

If you’ve got room in your life (and on your sofa) for a big, thoughtful girl who just wants to feel secure and loved, I’d really like to meet you. 💛
