Extremely shy

Meet Hoxby!

Hoxby is a quiet, shy boy who’s still finding his footing in a world that feels a little too big right now. He prefers the safety of his cozy cubby, where he can observe from a distance and take his time to decompress. New environments can be overwhelming for sensitive souls like Hoxby, but with patience and gentle care, he has the potential to slowly open up. During enrichment time, Hoxby has shown small signs of trust—allowing some gentle, distant brushing, even though he was clearly still unsure. These tiny steps forward show that, deep down, he’s trying to feel safe and connect in his own way.

Hoxby would thrive in a calm, quiet forever home with an experienced and patient adopter who understands that the best relationships are built slowly. With time and kindness, Hoxby has the chance to grow in confidence and let his true personality shine through. He’s looking for someone who believes in the quiet power of trust and gentle companionship, he hopes it’s you!
