URGENT: Uno & Stella Need a Home — Time Is Running Out
Hi, I'm Stella.I don't really know how to say this calmly, so I'm just going to say it: my mommy is in the military, and she has to move somewhere Uno and I can't go. We only have a very short time left to find a new home, and I'm frightened. Please, if you're reading this, we need you.I was at the shelter too, same as Uno. That's where we found each other, actually — two scared girls who needed somebody, and somehow we became everything to each other. I'm a long-haired black beauty, if I do say so myself, with one tiny white spot under my chin that I like to think makes me just a little bit special.I'll be honest with you: I'm shy. I like to tuck myself away behind the TV where it's quiet and safe, and it takes me a little time to trust someone new. But once I learn you're safe — really safe — I warm up so much, and I love pets more than almost anything. I just need patience while I get there. And treats help. I am absolutely, hopelessly in love with Churros treats — bring those out and I might just decide you're my new best friend a little faster.But the truth is, what matters most to me isn't the hiding spots or the treats. It's Uno. She's my sister, my best friend, my whole heart. She came from a hard place — she lost an eye before she ever found her way to us — but she survived, and somehow we found each other and never looked back. We've been inseparable ever since. I couldn't imagine my life without her, and I don't want to try.We're both quiet souls. We're not loud, we're not chaotic — we just want a calm, gentle home where we can settle in at our own pace. We've been around small children before, and it was a lot for us; we'd really thrive in a peaceful household instead. And please, we need to stay together, and we need to be the only pets — just the two of us, learning to love a new family without anything else to adjust to at the same time.We're both three years old. We're bonded. And a home together would be everything we've ever dreamed of. Please, if you have room in your heart and your home for two gentle, loving girls — one bold and watchful, one shy and warming up slowly — reach out now. We're running out of time, and we're hoping so hard that you're the one.Love, Stella & Uno*Guest PostingIf you would like to meet your new best friends, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830.
