✨ Meet Curtis, the beautiful Lab mix who is back on his journey to finding love! At just 5 years old and weighing 47 lbs, this gentle soul has had quite an adventure—one that we hope ends with a forever home! ❤️ Curtis was adopted last November, but after a little too much exploration, he found himself lost for an entire year. Last night, fate intervened when Animal Control found him running with another dog, and oh, how grateful we are to have him back safe and sound! Curtis is still that loving boy who stole hearts during his first stay with us; however, his time away has made him a bit shy and cautious. Imagine spending a year surviving on your own—it's no wonder he needs some time to decompress and readjust to indoor life. 🏡💖 The good news? He's learning he can trust again, and with a little love and patience, he'll be soaring in no time! What makes Curtis even more special is his fabulous rapport with other dogs! 🐾 He thrives in their company, mirrors their confidence, and settles more easily when he's got a friendly furry friend by his side. The ideal scenario for Curtis would be to have a calm, confident resident dog—a buddy who can guide him through the rhythms of home life and show him what it means to be a part of a family. 🐕❤️ If you appreciate the beauty of tender souls and have the patience to help Curtis find his inner strength, your heart may just be the safe haven he’s searching for. Curtis is a quiet, sensitive dog looking for someone who understands the intricacies of a shy personality and loves celebrating those small victories. With gentle encouragement and love, he will forge a bond that is fiercely loyal and unbreakable. ✨🤗 Curtis is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed, and will come to you fully vaccinated, ready to start this new chapter of his life! So, if you’re feeling a spark in your heart and think you could be the one to help Curtis thrive, *apply through the Buddy App* today! This precious dog deserves a second chance at happiness! 🐶💖
