My story

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

The world’s still a bit scary for sweet Griffin. We’re not sure what he’s been through, but it’s clear that kindness might not have been a big part of his past. He needed a little encouragement to come outside, but once he did, we saw those first signs of trust and comfort, and even some tail wags as he leaned in for affection. Griffin is a gentle soul with a big, beautiful smile, and it’s amazing to watch him start to build his confidence. He’s ready to experience the love and kindness he deserves—and we can’t wait to see him blossom in a home where he feels truly safe.
