My story

　　Oh dear...I really don't like public speaking...especially in front of strangers. Like the rest of the world is, its pretty scary for me. But just like in all other things, I will do my best. Hey. I am courage. I am not sure if my CNHS friends named me Courage as a joke, or if they are manifesting greatness for me, but I have gotten quite used to my name and like it lots. I came in to this place as a stray. I had humans at some point but I guess they decided I wasn't right for their life anymore because they never came for me. They say the healed scars on my face could tell a story that would make people sad, but I like them...they gave me little white freckles on my cheeks and head!The world is a super scary place. Things like a lot of noise, kids, fast moving objects and men scare me badly. I am sorry to say I am not on my best behavior in my kennel. Strange people coming into that big room and staring at me through a kennel freak me out...sometimes I don't respond the best way. But, I promise I won't hurt you...I just can't trust you yet. Trust takes time for me. Especially if you are a man. I will keep trying to be courageous if you promise to be patient with me. Once I know you are one of the good guys I love to be held! My ideal day is me, and my token human on the couch, snuggling, getting belly rubs, and head pets. My CNHS friends said it is a requirement to tell me how handsome I am on a daily basis too...so keep that in mind as you think about taking me home. I really don't like the shelter, but I know the wait will be worth it because one day I am going to have a family that won't give up on me. That day is going to be amazing because that is the same day I am going to be the bravest... I just know it.
