Here is My Story:

I was just a baby when I learned that the world could be scary.

My mom, my siblings, and I lived in a place with many other dogs where we were left without the love, care, and safety every puppy deserves.

I remember loud voices.

I remember being scared.

And even though I'm safe now, my little heart hasn't forgotten everything.

That's why when I first meet you, I might not run into your arms.

I might take a step back.

I might quietly watch you from a distance.

Please don't think that means I don't want your love.

**I want it more than you know.**

I'm just quietly asking...

*"Are you safe?"*

*"Can I trust you?"*
