About Mama Dove

Start your journey together! Apply now. Mama Dove exudes love and warmth. She is a true snuggler at heart, though she needs time and patience to earn her trust. Initially, she is skittish and shy around movement and loud noises, often seeking quiet spaces to hide. However, once she feels safe with you, all she wants is to curl up in your lap, soaking up head scratches and gentle affection. While Mama Dove isn’t a fan of being picked up, she does adore being held if you’re sitting, happily approaching when she’s ready for attention. It may take her about a month to fully adjust, during which she will likely hide. Providing her with a small, quiet area at first and spending calm time nearby will help her feel secure. Treats and gentle patience go a long way in building her trust, and soon she will show you her affectionate, loving side. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
