Presenting Henry...
Are you looking for a sleek, sensitive, athletic go getter? Meet Henry!
This 1 year old boy is nothing other than a bright and aware, silly and quirky, eager to learn and engage dog.
Henry has potential to spare! Unfortunately, as a puppy he missed out in the training department so Henry ended up being misunderstood.

Waiting to meet you
We have had the delight of getting to know this complex dog, who is learning about life and coming into his own more every day. Henry is just a delightfully silly and affectionate young boy and one of the most loving dogs around.
Henry is cautious at first with strangers but warms up quickly and then relaxes to his silly self!
With proper introductions and guidance, he does just fine with other dogs. He is a pretty high energy boy who needs a home that is going to be both and physically and mentally stimulating for him, and will do best in a home with an active person.
While he is non-stop most of the time, Henry does have a good off switch and likes to chill out and lick a peanut butter Kong or sit at your feet while you relax. Henry still has a lot to learn but is off to a great start!

Sitting up and taking notice...
It is very clear that Henry is a smart boy whose brain is always going. He has an intense stare and really looks and listens to you when you talk to him, He’s already got quite a few of the basics down, as well as being house-trained.
He’s going to need more training on the lead as he’s a bit of a puller; He also rides well in the car. Henry will benefit from additional training in the basics, as well as other confidence-building experiences, and will definitely need more guidance and direction when it comes to meeting new people and dogs as he can be a little jump happy. All in all, Henry is a wonderful dog when given the chance.

Ready to go...
Henry’s ideal home would be with a family willing to put time into continuing his training and extra guidance;, a home with or without another dog. He will need an active owner/family who will be able to provide him with daily walks or runs as he is extremely active. Older children around 10 and up as Henry is motion sensitive and will probably herd smaller children. Fully fenced in backyard is recommended.
