Hello there! My name is Haku, and I'm a brave little guy with a big heart ready for a new adventure. I know I came to the shelter feeling pretty scared and overwhelmed, but I'm learning that courage isn't about not being afraid—it's about taking that leap anyway! When I'm in the comfort of loving arms and away from the stress of my kennel, I transform into the sweetest companion you could ask for. I handled my medical exams like a true trooper and showed everyone at the shelter that beneath my nervous exterior is a pup who genuinely wants to connect with people. I did wonderfully during my dog test too, which proves I've got the heart of a hero just waiting to shine! What I'm really looking for now is a patient person or family who understands that I need a little time to warm up to new situations, but once I do, I'm all in. I thrive when I'm being held close and receiving gentle affection from someone who believes in me. I may need my own safe space in my new home—a cozy corner where I can retreat when things feel overwhelming—but with your encouragement and kindness, I know I'll keep finding my brave self more and more each day. Are you ready to help me write the next chapter of my story? I am full grown at ~11lbs. How did I get here? Transferred from Wake County Animal Center where I came in as a stray. ~My adoption fee is $120.00.~
