My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Want is a dear little boy who was just released from a breeding facility. He was very quiet his first week in his foster home, but is learning that he is safe and loved. He still has fears and will flatten to the ground sometimes, but he is zooming through the yard with joy, trying to get his foster siblings to play and gently touching his little nose to foster mom's leg while she is making dinner as if to say 'don't forget me mom.' He is a good eater and sleeps quietly in his crate by foster mom's bed. Want is gentle and sweet and has been a joy to foster. He doesn't have a mean bone in his adorable little body and likes it when foster mom kisses him. He is discovering toys and looks forward to play time each night after dinner. One of foster mom's favorite times with Want is when he first comes out of his crate in the morning. He tail is wagging and he zooms and zooms with joy - you can see the happiness in his little face. Want needs a fur companion to help him learn the ways of being a cherished fur kid and a home that understands he needs some time to forget his fears. He is about 15 lbs., the perfect size to scoop up for kisses, and has an adorable little tail that curves around like a husky dog. Foster mom's camera is on the fritz, but really - THIS KID IS ADORABLE!
