Like a character learning to trust within the pages of a great novel, I am a shy pup who blossoms when given time and patience. My initial nervousness melts away once I realize I am safe, and I blossom into a gentle soul who craves affection on my own terms. I prefer a slow-moving approach—think of me as a book best savored rather than rushed through—and when you take the time to sit at my level and let me come to you, I will reward you with snuggles and lap cuddles that will warm your heart. My story is incomplete without my bonded companion, Alfred, who is my dearest friend and anchor in this world. We are a pair of chapters that belong together, finding comfort in each other's presence and relying on our bond for courage. If you are looking to welcome us into your home, know that you would be adopting not one love story, but two intertwined tales of devotion and trust. Together, we promise to write the most beautiful chapters with you, growing bolder and more confident as we discover that home is the safest plot twist of all. I am full grown at ~15lbs & my brother Alfred is full grown at ~12lbs. How did we get here? Transferred from Wake County Animal Center. **We are a bonded pair, so we get to go home together! We will be neutered before we go home.** ~Our adoption fee is waived thanks to a grant from the Grey Muzzle Organization.~
