Oh, let me tell you about Carl! 🌟 This gentle soul is like a delicate flower waiting for the sun to shine on him. Right now, he’s a bit scared, so imagine him as a shy kid at school, needing that extra little nudge to come out of his shell. But oh, beneath that tentative exterior lies a heart bursting with affection! Carl is not one to fight or fuss; when things get tough, he prefers to take a step back, observe, and find his footing. With a sprinkle of kindness, a dash of patience, and a calm presence, he’ll start to bloom into the loving companion he was always meant to be. 🌼 Now, here's the deal: Carl would absolutely thrive in a peaceful home—a sanctuary where he can feel safe and truly unwind. Think of it like giving him a warm hug on a cozy day. He’d benefit from starting out in a smaller space where he can have his essentials close by, along with a cozy little spot to retreat to when he needs it. A family with older kids would be perfect for him, and just imagine the magic of introducing him to a gentle cat friend or a calm dog who understands boundaries. 🐾 For the right family, those moments of progress with Carl will be worth their weight in gold. He’s not just any pet; he’s the gift of patience, love, and the thrill of watching a relationship blossom—slowly, but oh so beautifully! 💖 So, if someone is ready to embrace the journey that is Carl, they should *apply through the Buddy App* today! Let’s help him find that special place where he can feel safe and loved!
