About Curly

Meet Curly! Curly is a shy boy with a big heart, slowly learning how wonderful humans can be. He and his siblings were found in a remote area of Alabama, completely feral after being abandoned. A year in rescue has worked wonders for him, and he's made impressive progress. Though still reserved, Curly has begun to play with his foster mom, showing his playful side, albeit a bit rough at times. He needs an adopter who will be patient and kind, allowing him to blossom at his own pace. Who wants to help Curly discover his happy ending?
