  • My animals / pets

    My animals / pets

    Nora

    A little over a year old, very expressive, and extremely vocal—she loves to "talk" and let you know what's on her mind... especially when food is involved!

    Robin

    A sweet, curious cat who just absolutely loves snuggles and affection.

    Tabù

    he's an 8 kg gentle giant who was raised with dogs. He is super peaceful, calm, and friendly with everyone... inside the house

    Maia

    Small-size. Gentle and sensitive, Maya is easily startled by high-pitched voices or sudden movements. She calms down quickly if you speak to her in a low, gentle tone and move slowly. She just needs a bit of time and patience to learn to trust you.

    Pimpi

    She's the little "miracle dog". She has survived so many health challenges that no one can quite guess her real age! She is blind in one eye, so it's essential to approach her from her good side. She loves affection, but strictly on her own terms and when she’s in the mood.

    Liú

    Small/medium-size.Lively and full of energy—especially when she realizes it's time for a walk! She is famously persistent: once she figures out she can get something (like endless belly rubs or extra affection), she will demand it until you give in!

    Sofia

    Small-sized, high-energy dog who loves being active, going out, and spending quality time with her people. she is energetic and friendly with both Tito and humans. She shares Tito's playful excitement, but she also enjoys having her own space and quiet independence most of the time.

    Tito

    Small-sized, high-energy dog who loves being active, going out, and spending quality time with his people. Tito loves physical contact and snuggles, but the second you show any interest in playing, his energetic side instantly kicks in! He shares a very strong bond with Sofia
