Hi, I'm Boden! I'm 11 months old, and if you're the patient, gentle type, I think we could really be something special. I'm a little shy at first-okay, maybe more than a little-but I want to be brave. I just need a calm, quiet space and someone kind who'll give me time to settle in. My friends here say I absolutely must start out in a small space so I don't get overwhelmed. I promise, it helps me feel safe and start to trust. Before I came to the shelter, I was a stray. Life on the streets was scary, but a kind human took me in for a few weeks. That's when things really started to change. I began to show my true self-curious, sweet, and quietly affectionate. They said I had a big personality hiding in there, just waiting for the right chance to shine. Since arriving at the shelter, I've already started coming out of my shell again. I'm building my confidence every day, and I know that in the right home, I'll keep blooming. If you've got a peaceful home and a little patience, I've got a lifetime of quiet loyalty and gentle love waiting for you. Could you be my forever person?
