Henry Shepherd & Retriever Mix Woodbury, CT

Meet Henry~

Henry was brought into a shelter in SC with mange and missing a lot of fur. He was given some great meds to get that coat growing back fast. He is going to end up with a soft and fuzzy coat, and look even more adorable!
With his time up at the shelter, we were lucky to get him before he was pts.
Henry may not be Mr. GQ, right now, but remember, beauty is only skin deep! And in time, Henry will have more hair and look wonderful, I am sure! Either way, you can't beat having a dog with such a great personality!
Henry is friendly, and seems to love everyone! He is gentle, peaceful, and kind.
Henry is sweet and playful, young and active. He loves running and exploring! Loving other dogs, Henry is thrilled to meet new dogs! He is very puppy-like with his antics and playfulness. He thinks everyone is like him and doesn't understand the personal space of other dogs.
Henry likes cats and even asks them to play with him!
He does okay on a leash but will need some help with learning manners.
Henry is between 1-2 years old and weighs 45 lbs.

BREED IDENTIFICATION:

Please understand that many rescue dogs are mixes of multiple breeds. Petfinder allows us to choose up to two breeds per dog. While the shelters and our rescue do our best in accurately identifying breeds, breed identification is not guaranteed. If there is a certain breed that you do not want, it is very important that you share this with our rescue when applying. When adopting a puppy, breed uncertainty plays a big part in the size/look of the dog as an adult. Please know that any puppy can be a wonderful dog, regardless of preconceived notions of certain breeds, but it is very important that the adopter has the dedication and patience to raise the puppy with boundaries, consistency, structure, & love. The more effort you give towards training & time you allow for exercise, your puppy will grow to be a HUGE source of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, TOTAL LOYALTY, HAPPINESS, COMFORT & COMPANIONSHIP!

ABOUT OUR RESCUE:
We are a small rescue run by volunteers & focused on finding the right match for both our dogs & for you. If you are interested in adopting through our rescue, you first will need to complete an adoption application & be approved as a potential adopter before meeting any of our pups. No need to be intimidated by our application as it allows us to get to know you & your lifestyle. Of course, the more you can share the better! Please also note, while a fenced yard is fantastic, it is not required by our rescue, however, it may be required for a certain dog occasionally. Once adoption applicants are approved to become potential adopters, we offer private appointments where you can meet one or several dogs at the discretion of the rescue. We offer a unique & pleasant experience focused on finding the perfect match. It is extremely important to us that everyone is treated with respect & that NO ONE IS LEFT HANGING. WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITHIN 2 TO 3 DAYS of application submission. If there is a dog you are eager to meet, please TEXT US DIRECTLY at 203-241-2351 so that we can check the status of your application and move it forward immediately. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find your new best friend.
*All adult dogs can be cat tested by request.
