Forget what you think you know about pit bulls. Everly’s not a fighter—she’s a mother in the body of a tank, and an orphaned squirrel figured that out in seconds.
When Worlds Collide
Everly and her human, Morgan, were out walking when a lone, desperate baby squirrel started following them. No hesitation, no fear—he went right for the dog.
Instead of chasing him off, Everly just sat down and let the little guy get close. Closer. Then, as if it was the most normal thing in the world, the squirrel curled up right on top of her and passed out.
Claiming His New Family
That was it. The squirrel decided he was home. Everly? She went into full foster mom mode—snuggling, napping, and even letting the tiny hitchhiker ride her around the house.
For days, the pair were inseparable: one pit bull, one baby squirrel, both out to prove the world wrong.
The Hardest Part
But here’s the kicker: as much as Everly wanted to keep him, Morgan knew the squirrel needed more care than a dog and a human could give. So after a few days, the little guy went off to a wildlife rehab—ready for a real shot at survival.
Everly’s still waiting at the door. The squirrel’s out there, climbing trees and living wild. But for a moment, a pit bull with a heart bigger than her head and a lost squirrel found exactly what they needed—a family.
