***SAFE 12/10/16***Found outside the shelter after hours in the rain! He looks at everyone with his big beautiful wide eyes and allows all handling! Please help him out today!! A volunteer writes: Bahamas is a handsome boy with white whiskers accenting his ebony face. He’ll look at you with the widest eyes, and if you approach gently, he will enjoy being petted. Currently, Bahamas is being a bit apprehensive, but who can blame him?
