Story
Cubby was rescued by me and my wife before we found out she was pregnant. We found him on the side of the road and was pretty malnourished, today he is about 7-8 months old, has all his shots and we took him to be examined and he is very healthy. Unfortunately due to my full home we can’t keep him anymore. Adoption fee is at zero because we just want him to go to a good home. He comes with a cage and a bowl for food. We are unaware if maybe he was abused or if he was hit when he was younger but he does seem very skittish around men
