UPDATE 9\/1\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stewart and Henry are a sweet pair of boys looking for a loving home together!<\/p>\n

Henry originally came into foster care as \u201cMr. Rat,\u201d but his foster family quickly decided that Henry suited him much better \u2014 and the name stuck!<\/p>\n

Stewart is the braver and more adventurous of the two. He\u2019s usually the first to investigate something new, whether it\u2019s a tasty treat or an interesting new toy. Henry is a little more timid, but once he gets to know you, his gentle and affectionate personality really shines through.<\/p>\n

These two love the simple things in life \u2014 chewing on wood sticks, hiding out in their plastic castle, and exploring small cardboard boxes. They are handleable and comfortable with human company, although they\u2019re still on the shy side. They\u2019ve already come a long way, though, and their growing confidence is wonderful to see!<\/p>\n

One of their favorite developments has been their newfound enthusiasm for treat time. These days, they\u2019ll jump up excitedly when they know treats are coming \u2014 a big step for two boys who were once much more hesitant.<\/p>\n

Stewart and Henry would love a patient, caring home where they can continue building their confidence together. With time, treats, and plenty of gentle interaction, these two sweet boys are sure to keep blossoming.<\/p>\n<\/div>
