INCREDIBLY CUTE, HAPPY AND TALKATIVE BOY WANTS TO BE FRIENDS, BUT CAN`T TRUST HANDS COMPLETELY, AND IS NERVOUS IN NEW PLACES. HE`LL DO WELL IN A LESS ACTIVE HOME. HE`S TRYING SO HARD AND WILL WELCOME YOUR PATIENT ENCOURAGEMENT TO BE BRAVE AND TRUST PEOPLE! BETTER TO BE WITH OLDER KIDS AS HE BUILDS HIS COURAGE. HAS BEEN FINE WITH NICE CATS AND CALM LARGE BREED DOGS.
I`m a gentle and friendly little boy that rushes over to stand at the gate to talk to you and call you over. I love having conversations and when you sweet talk to me, I even relax a little more if you sing! But when you open my gate, I instinctively start to worry and move to the back or go to my other room. If you try to reach for me then, I might give a wimpy hiss, or act like I`m going to swat your hand (with no claws, but usually don`t anyway. I DON`T want to hurt you!). Even though I seem to love people, somebody has made me afraid of hands. I really want to trust you, be your friend and enjoy getting attention. So hold up the back of your hand, be still and wait. When I do start to trust you, I will lay down on my side and let you pet the back of my neck and the top of my head so I won`t be looking at your hand and just enjoy it, a little longer every time. Even with my friends here, I haven`t relaxed enough to be picked up or held, or even come out to play. I just want to stay here and have you hang out with me!
I love playing with the wand toys with you, so bring one with you when you visit and let`s have some gentle fun with it! Learning to play and be brave with you in a quiet home will be much easier and faster to accomplish than it has been here, just a few minutes every day with different people. So don`t be afraid to come spend some time with me and see how easy I am to fall in love with, because I`m just adorable and so eager to love you! It will be easy for you to choose to take me home and watch me become such a wonderful, lovable best friend ever!

More about this shelter
The Colony Animal Services strives to protect andTCAS LOGO-UPDATED nurture The City of The Colony’s lost, homeless, abused, injured, and sick pets. We seek to provide animals the opportunity to be reclaimed, adopted, rehabilitated, or rescued. It is the mission for the Animal Service Officers and volunteers to pursue a positive synergy and to serve the citizens and pets of The Colony.
Animal Services is committed to saving each and every animal that comes into our care. Over the last few years, we have improved our live release rate to 97%. We hold our standards high at keeping this percentage, and in doing so, we ask our rescue partners and citizens to help us pursue finding our animals forever homes.
Every year, we get over a hundred injured and sick animals that need our help. In order for us to help them, we use our donated medical fund to give them the proper care and treatment they need. The only way for us to provide this needed medical care is through our generous financial donors. Every penny donated is sent to our medical fund. Please help us continue this much needed medical care for our animals by donating. Even if you cannot donate, it is a huge help to share posts on social media.
