A volunteer writes: Branden is understandably scared….what am I doing in this place and where exactly am I? He’s a cute little fellow, stressed and uncomfortable, but nevertheless happy to be out for a walk. After a short while, realizing that I’m a friend, he allows me to pet him as he sits by my side. At 5 years young, he’s ready to find a new home with a welcoming lap in which to cuddle.
