Critter Details
Meet Havarti — Some dogs burst into a room. Others quietly wait, hoping the right person will notice. Havarti is the second kind. Havarti is a young male pup (estimated 6 months–2 years old, about 40 lbs.) who’s feeling a bit overwhelmed in the shelter. He’s shy right now, but there’s a very sweet soul underneath. He enjoys gentle pets, takes treats ever so softly, and watches the world with thoughtful eyes. He’ll need a home that understands that trust takes time—someone patient, kind, and willing to let him come out of his shell at his own pace. With consistency and love, Havarti has all the potential to blossom into a loyal, devoted companion. If you’re the kind of person who believes the quiet ones are often the most special, Havarti might be waiting just for you. The Quiet Ones Love the Deepest Meet Havarti. At just 1 year old and about 40 pounds, Havarti is still learning that the world is safe. The shelter has been a little overwhelming for this young boy, and he can seem shy and unsure at first glance. But here’s what most people don’t see… When his favorite volunteer, Jill, sits down beside him, everything changes. He rolls onto his back. He climbs into her lap. He presses close for snuggles. He gives gentle kisses. He melts. That’s the real Havarti. He takes treats softly, enjoys gentle pets, and watches the world with thoughtful, intelligent eyes. He doesn’t demand attention — he waits for someone to show him kindness. And when you do, he gives his whole heart. Havarti needs: • A patient home • A calm environment • Someone who understands that trust takes time In return, you’ll get something incredibly special — a loyal, devoted companion whose love feels earned and deep. The shy ones are often the most extraordinary. If you believe in giving the quiet dogs a chance, Havarti may be waiting just for you. ‘In every heart, there is a hole. In every shelter, there is love in which to fill it.’ ~ Colleen Paige www.petango.com/citruscritters Follow us on Facebook: @AdoptACitrusCountyAnimalShelterPet Follow us on Twitter: @AdoptCCASPets Follow us on Instagram: @AdoptCCASPets Follow us on Youtube: @CitrusCountyAS
