I am a sensitive, sweet youngster looking for a quiet place to plant my paws and a patient human to call my safe harbor. The big, bustling shelter environment can make me feel a little timid and unsure at first, but don’t let my nervous moments fool you—beneath my initial caution is a deeply affiliative, loyal boy who wants so desperately to trust, connect, and be loved.

Just like the quiet beauty of the autumn season, I believe that the sweetest things in life take a little time to grow and flourish. Here are a few tender traits from my résumé:

• The Gentle Lean-In Specialist: When I am looking for comfort, I will softly step toward you and lean my whole body right against your legs. It is my signature way of asking for gentle strokes and letting you know that my heart is open to bonding.
• Soft Snack Connoisseur: Food is a wonderful bridge to my confidence! I love yummy, soft treats and gentle praise, which make learning at my own relaxed pace our favorite shared activity.
• Curious Playful Spark: While I’m still figuring out how toys work in new spaces, I love watching tennis balls, checking out plushies, and following along for sweet, low-key games of yard tag once I decompress.
• Private Dining Sanctuary: When it comes to mealtime, commotion can make me feel a little anxious and appeasing. I prefer to enjoy my meals in my own calm, solo space without an audience so I can dine peacefully and recharge.

Because I can be a little cautious with fast movements and hands reaching for my paws and tail, I am looking for a calm, supportive home (and gentle kids 8+) with patient people who understand the magic of going slow and offering affection on my terms.

If you have a quiet sanctuary, a gentle touch, and a heart ready to reap a lifetime of devotion from a tender-hearted boy, I am ready to be your most faithful companion.
