Squirt's Story

Fostered in Manchester, NH.<br/><br/>UPDATE 4/8/26:<br/><br/>The sweet baby boys are an incredible success story! They came to us in extremely poor condition – emaciated, hungry, sick, fighting to survive. They have needed weeks to recover. Due to the expert, painstaking, patient care of their foster mom, we are happy to report that they are now thriving! Despite their rough beginnings, these boys have come out of their shells and actually enjoy human interaction!<br/><br/>These boys are fun, friendly and ready for a furever home! Squirt loves wrestling with his brothers and diving in the ball pit. They were all shy at first and avoided me as much as possible. Now they all wait patiently on the bridge when I come into the room and are very excited about playtime and training. They are all working on being picked up and most times are happy to be scooped up in one hand while getting a treat from the other. Sometimes they still prefer being moved in a snuggle sack. They are afraid of hands coming from above so please don’t pick them up “claw style.” They will probably take several days to adjust to a new home, so they are looking for a human who can be a little patient and not force them to do anything they find frightening. Once they are comfortable they are simply delightful and will be missed by everyone at their foster home.
