Two shy boys hoping someone to take the time to get to know them

When the coldness of winter hits, a cuddle buddy is in high demand. Homeward Animal Shelter has many animals up for adoption that can make your home feel warmer without the expenses of turning on the heat.

Shy animals need love just as much as the loud ones, so take the time to warm up to these gentlemen and the bond will be strong in no time.

Zach

Meet Zach, a 7-year-old Lab mix male. He arrived at Homeward Animal Shelter Dec. 5, 2018. He is currently in foster care, but hopes to find his forever home soon.

He is shy, which means he needs a home that will show him love so he can warm up to you. Because he is older and likes his quiet relaxation time, he likes older kids, rather than young and loud ones. He is very loyal, and once he forms a bond with you, it is strong and will never break.

Star

Meet Star, a 1-year-old gray and white domestic short-haired male. He arrived at Homeward Animal Shelter Dec. 21, 2018 and has been looking for his forever home ever since.

He is sweet, but will seem nervous at first. As long as you give him chin rubs, gentle pets and treats, then he will be flaunting his sweet side in no time. If you have a string toy or jingle balls, which are his favorites, then he will be your best friend. He’ll be running all around the house to follow those toys.

If you’re looking for a second, third or sixth cat, then he is your next one. His ideal home is one with another cat because their presence helps him come out of his shell and makes him feel more confident.
