My story

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

Meet Rouge!! ❤️🐾

Rouge came in as a stray on 12/1/25, and we think he’s about a year old. One look at him and you’ll see it—he is absolutely gorgeous. But it’s his sweet soul and shy smile that really make him special.

Rouge is a gentle, bashful boy who’s still learning that people can be kind and life can be really good. He’ll need patience and encouragement to help him build confidence and become more socialized, but trust us—he will be so worth the extra effort. When he warms up, his sweetness shines through, and that smile will melt your heart every time.

Rouge is ready for a loving family who will go at his pace and show him just how wonderful a safe, happy home can be.

💖 Rouge is available for adoption—hurry in to meet this handsome, tender-hearted boy!
