UPDATE 3\/14\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boys are much more social now, and they demand free roam time whenever we walk by the cage. We haven’t had any nervous nibbles lately!<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2\/5\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

These sweet boys have come a long way during their time in foster care. Their foster mom has been very patient with their skittish nature, and has spent a lot of time helping them to understand that humans are kind. They will need an adopter who will continue to be patient with them and allow them to be comfortable on their own terms.<\/p>\n

Charlie (black and white hooded): Charlie is the more outgoing of the two boys. He is the first to come to the front of the cage and has such a fun personality. Sometimes his curiosity will get the best of him, and he will give little love nibbles if your fingers smell like food. While he is the more outgoing one, he is still wary about being picked up and may give a squeak or two until he feels secure. Once he is, though, he is ready to go!<\/p>\n

George (black Berkshire): George is the more skittish of the brothers, but is gradually coming out of his shell. He tends to act as his brother’s shadow, following him around for a sense of security. He is more courageous in the cage, happily taking food and treats, but is easily startled and will make a mad dash to hide.<\/p>\n

The two of them are super sweet boys who need someone willing to take it slow with them and move at their pace. They very much enjoy free roaming and use the opportunity to better acquaint themselves with their humans!<\/p>\n<\/div>
