Pet of the Week – Artemis

February 25, 2026

Introducing Artemis!

Artemis is a sweet, slightly awkward girl who leans in close for pets, quietly asking for affection even when she’s feeling a little shy and unsure. She has a playful, bouncy side, offering the cutest, most polite little jumps as she zooms around, only to circle right back and check in to make sure you’re still there. Sensitive and thoughtful, Artemis prefers gentle connection over commands or treats, and she’s happiest simply being near her person, soaking up reassurance and calm companionship.

She would thrive in a home that understands soft, submissive body language and leads with patience, reassurance, and quiet confidence. While she enjoys walks and playful moments, she also loves pausing often for affection and check-ins. Artemis is looking for someone who wants a loyal shadow. She a little bashful, a little quirky, and deeply devoted to staying close and feeling safe.
