About Biscotti

Biscotti is a gentle little soul searching for a true hero to guide him through his fears. This tiny 10-pound boy feels understandably scared in the bustling shelter, often curling up small and taking his time to meet new people. Yet, beneath his initial shyness lies a sweet, resilient spirit that blossoms when he recognizes he’s safe. Biscotti is blind and is recovering from an old injury that needs eye surgery, along with treatment for multiple prior flea bites. His soft, golden-honey coat complements his charming personality perfectly. Biscotti would thrive in a peaceful, caring foster home that can provide him the comfort he needs while our medical team attends to his health. He doesn’t ask for much—just a gentle hand, a calm corner to relax in, and a caring hero to help him heal. Ready to make a difference in Biscotti's life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
