My story

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

Meet Baton!! 🐾💙

Baton came in as a stray on 12/1/25, and we think he’s about a year old. He is really handsome, but it’s his sweet and gentle nature that truly steals your heart.

Baton is a shy, bashful boy who’s still learning to feel confident in new situations. He’ll need a patient adopter willing to help him with socialization and show him that people and the world can be kind. With a little time, love, and reassurance, Baton is sure to blossom—and he’ll be so worth the extra effort.

He’s ready for a calm, loving family who can help him discover just how wonderful life can be in a forever home.

💙 Baton is available for adoption—hurry in to meet this sweet, soft-hearted boy!
