I brought him home yesterday from the shelter, and he’s still a little traumatized. His name is Max, and he’s curled up tightly on the couch, using my cozy blanket as his shelter. You can see the worry in his eyes; they tell a story of a past that wasn’t always easy.
Max had a rough start, but I’m determined to show him that he’s finally in a loving home. Every time I slowly approach him, he glances up, uncertain but curious. I can tell he’s trying to adapt to this new life, but the shadows of his past are still there.
I’ve set up a quiet space just for him, filled with soft toys and treats. I sit close to him, talking to him softly, reassuring him that he’s safe now. It’s a gradual process, and I know it will take time for him to trust again. Every small step he takes toward comfort makes my heart swell with hope.
I can’t wait for the day when he realizes he doesn’t need to hide anymore. Together, we’ll create new memories filled with love, play, and happiness. For now, I’ll give him all the patience and love he needs. Max is home, and I’m here to help him get better.
