More Info: I have been at the shelter since Mar 05, 2026..
My name is Eleanor, and I like to take my time with the world. New people make me nervous. I watch from a distance first, ears a little back, heart beating faster than I’d like. I don’t rush into things. I need a moment… or a few… to understand who you are and if you’re safe . But when I find my person, everything changes. I stay close to them… really close. If they move, I follow. If they sit, I curl up beside them, pressing into their side like it’s the only place I truly belong. They’re my safe place, my steady ground in a world that can feel a little overwhelming sometimes. It might take me a while to trust, but when I do, I give everything. My whole heart, my quiet loyalty, my softest moments; they all belong to the one who makes me feel safe. With them, I’m not nervous. With them, I’m just Eleanor.
