Forrest is tiny and adorable (obviously) and can be a bit of an imp - in the most adorable way, of course!

He is about 4 years old and is still figuring out life (but who isn't, right?) Despite, or maybe because of, his insecurities, Forrest has a pretty specific wishlist he wants for his future forever family.

#1 - Forrest says his perfect match is a family (or an individual parent) with plenty of patience. This need for patience applies to all members of the family including any other fur-kids in the home. Forrest won't want to be your friend right away. He needs time to be alone in his private space while he assesses his new family and his new home.

#2 - Forrest wants a quiet environment where he can chill with just his family. A home without a lot of people coming and going that is peaceful and quiet most of the time is ideal.

#3 - Once he's warmed up to you, which may take longer than you think, Forrest wants loads of love and cuddles (including belly rubs) bestowed upon him all day long. He doesn't think that's too much to ask so he's hoping you will be home most of the day and night so he can curl up next to you and receive all those cuddles you are wanting to give him.

#4 - A home with a securely fenced backyard is important to helping Forrest be successful with you. Forrest is small so your yard doesn't need to be big, but it does need to be secure.

#5 - One more thing. Forrest is ok with living with mature teens/tweens and adults but no young-uns, please.

If you're ready to share your love with Forrest forever, and you can agree to his conditions, let us know and we will get you in touch with his foster parent for a more detailed discussion about this perfect little gentleman.
