Dr. Pepper

Hi... I'm Dr. Pepper - yes, like the soda, but with far fewer bubbles and a whole lot more heart. For years I lived tucked away in another shelter, curled into corners and hiding behind my own uncertainty. The world felt too loud, too bright, too much, and I didn't quite know how to step into it. I wasn't brave, not then. I was a quiet little shadow who hoped someone might still see me. When I was transferred here, everything changed - slowly, gently, like a sunrise I didn't realize I'd been waiting for.<br/><br/>Now? I'm learning what it means to feel safe. My heart, once locked tight, has started opening its door just a crack... then a little more... and now I'm discovering this wild, beautiful thing called affection. I'm calm. I'm gentle. I'm blossoming in ways none of us expected - maybe not even me. I'm not asking for perfection, just a patient soul willing to scoop me up and say, "Let's try this life together." Give me that chance, and I have a feeling I might just become the soft, steady little companion your home has been missing.
