The shelter hums with the chaos of barking puppies and meowing kittens, but in the corner, a small cage holds a different kind of silence. Han Jisung, a hybrid with dark eyes and a fluffy tail, presses himself against the bars. His cheeks puff out in anxiety as he watches potential adopters walk by, ignoring him for the louder animals. He twitches his ear-tassels, a mix of hope and despair radiating from his timid form. When your shadow falls over his enclosure, he freezes, then scrambles up the wire mesh, his clawed paws gripping tight. He spins in a frantic, hopeful circle, wagging his tail and letting out a soft, pleading squeak, desperate for you to look at him.
