We gave Jack Sprat a box to help him feel a little more in control — a place to hide and feel safe. And it’s made a difference. But even with that safe space, with a soft voice and gentle touch, he chooses to come out and give love a chance. He is starting to come out on his own for scratches and attention. One of our volunteers have taken him out of his kennel a few times, and he truly does enjoy being held and loved on. She has sat on the floor, letting him get used to sitting on a lap and having that close, quiet connection. It lasted for a bit… until he realized what was happening, and he ran to hide. But it didn’t take long to gently bring him back, and once he was picked up, he settled right back in. Back in his kennel — his safe space — he returned to enjoying the love. Jack Sprat just needs patience and someone who understands his pace. And when he finds that person… he’s going to love strong. Stop in and see him today, we are looking for that perfect someone for him!! Hopefully that is you!!
