A mother isn’t just someone who gives birth; she’s someone who nurtures, loves, and devotes her life to her little ones.
This idea of motherhood isn’t limited to humans. Animals, too, often answer the call when someone needs love and care.
Many times, dogs adopt orphaned animals that need a mother’s warmth.
This gentle Pitbull, Everly, did just that when she welcomed a tiny orphaned squirrel into her life—a little one in need of motherly comfort.
People often misunderstand Pitbulls, labeling them as tough or even dangerous. But in truth, Pitbulls are some of the sweetest and most nurturing dogs you’ll find, earning their historical title as “nanny dogs.”
Everly embodies these loving traits beautifully. She’s a gentle soul with a heart as lovely as her looks.
Meeting My Mother
One day, while Everly and her mom, Morgan Joy Groves, were out walking in their Charlotte, North Carolina neighborhood, they came across a small, lost-looking squirrel. It was clear this little one needed help.
Everly’s attention quickly focused on the tiny creature, and the feeling was mutual; it seemed the squirrel sensed he’d found a friend.
The story didn’t end at the park. The baby squirrel followed Everly and Morgan home. As Everly settled down to rest on her front porch, the squirrel grew even bolder, approaching her with trust and curiosity.
Everly, being the gentle girl she is, welcomed him close, and they soon found themselves taking a nap together, forming an unlikely but heartwarming bond.
Everly and her new squirrel friend took many naps together after that day, with the little squirrel cuddling up to her as if he were her own pup.
However, as time passed, Morgan realized the squirrel needed the company of his own kind and the care of experts to thrive.
With a heavy heart, they brought him to a local wildlife shelter where he’d have a chance to grow in a natural environment.
Though Everly missed her little “son,” she knew it was for the best.
She’s still living her best life in Charlotte, full of love for everyone she meets—including her feline sister, Belle.
