My story

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

Guava is a smart and curious puppy who`s just beginning to learn how to live in a world filled with love and kindness. Though he’s still a bit wary, his progress is heartwarming—he follows his foster around the house, occasionally brushing up against them as his way of testing affection. Guava is crate-trained and working on potty skills, preferring to go outside but using pads if needed. He adores gathering stuffed toys, making his kennel a cozy hideout, and is learning to play tug-of-war, though he`s still figuring out the rules.

Guava is great with his foster’s dog and has shown polite curiosity toward their cats. Kids and busy spaces can make him nervous, so he’s best suited for a patient, understanding home that will help him continue building trust. Watching him brave moments—like choosing to stay in his spot rather than hide—is truly special. With time, love, and encouragement, Guava will blossom into a loyal, loving companion.
