From Sheltering Hands, Inc

Hello, I'm Forte. For the first 10 years of my life, I had a home and a person who loved me. When my owner became very sick, there was no plan for what would happen to me, and suddenly I found myself at a shelter. As you can imagine, that was a big change for a guy like me, and sometimes I still feel a little overwhelmed by it all. The best way to win me over is with patience and kindness. If you take your time when you approach me, you'll see what a loving fellow I really am. I lean right into every pet, and I absolutely enjoy being brushed. Gentle attention makes me feel safe, and before long, I'll be soaking up all the affection you have to offer. You may notice that one of my eyes is smaller than the other. I have a condition called microphthalmia, which simply means one eye didn't develop to a normal size. The good news is that it doesn't cause me any medical problems, and I can probably even see out of it just fine. It's just one of the things that makes me uniquely me. What I'm really hoping for is a soft landing with someone who understands that big life changes can be hard. In return, I'll be a devoted companion who appreciates every gentle touch, every brushing session…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
