Hi. My name is Chico, and I have a confession to make.
The world is a very big, very scary place.
New people? Scary. New places? Scary.
Strange noises? Definitely scary.
When I first arrived at the shelter, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of anything. But the nice humans here have been patient with me, and little by little I’ve learned that maybe the world isn’t so scary after all.
These days, when I’m with people I trust, a different side of me comes out. I love cuddling up close, claiming a warm lap as my favorite seat in the house, and showing off my zoomies when I’m feeling happy. Once I’m comfortable, I’m a silly little guy with a big heart and lots of love to give.
What I need now is a family willing to give me the same patience the shelter staff did. I may not be the dog who runs up to greet everyone on day one, but if you give me time, kindness, and a chance to build my confidence, I promise you’ll get to see the real me. And the real me?
I’m cuddles.
I’m lap lounging.
I’m happy dances and zoomies.
I’m a loyal little shadow who just needs someone to believe in me.
Could that someone be you?
