My story

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

Meet Virgil - our eligible bachelor with the most irresistible puppy-dog face! This sweet, bashful boy is just starting to come out of his shell, and he's showing us how much he wants to learn what life is like with a caring human companion.

Virgil arrived as a stray, so we're still discovering his true personality. We suspect he may have had a difficult past, and it takes him a little time to trust new people. But once he does, his playful side shines through. He loves to bounce around, play, and enjoy some good old-fashioned butt scritches!

Because we don't know much about his history, slow and thoughtful introductions to new family members-both two-legged and four-legged-are important. Virgil would thrive in a stable, quiet home where he's given the time and space to observe the world and try new things at his own pace. Treats won't be the key to his heart, but mutual respect and patience will.

If Virgil sounds like the perfect match for you, please fill out an adoption application using the link below. He can't wait to meet his new best friend!!
