Meet Henry, a sweet little cavalier puppy who’s just six months old and ready to find his forever family! 🎉 Now, Henry is a special fellow; he’s what we lovingly call a “breeder release” pup, meaning he hasn’t had the chance to experience the warm, cozy environment that most pups his age get to enjoy. But don’t you worry, once he feels safe, Henry is eager to bond with a family that speaks his language—'dog'! 🐶❤️ Think of Henry as a gentle spirit who may be timid, and yes, he might always carry a bit of that shyness with him. But he’s the kind of pup who, with your help and lots of patience, will slowly come out of his shell and learn to trust. 🌈 He’s as friendly as they come, though right now he’s a bit scared of his own shadow. He needs a fenced-in yard where he can feel secure and do his business, as he’s still learning about potty training. 🏡 Cavaliers are known to be the ultimate 'Velcro dogs'—they just want to be close to you! Imagine having a little buddy who craves closeness and affection. 💕 Henry is looking for a patient and understanding family who won’t rush him but will allow him the time to adjust at his own pace. Ideally, he’d thrive in a home with another confident dog to show him the ropes and a family that knows the importance of structure and training. 🐕✨ Now, while Henry is fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped—you can rest easy knowing he’s in great health—his adopter will be responsible for any follow-up vaccinations. His adoption fee is $1,200, and he’s looking for a family that’s committed for the long haul. Remember, little dogs like Henry can live to be over 20 years old, so this is a lifetime commitment, folks! ⏳🎈 If you’re considering welcoming a puppy into your home, please make sure you have a flexible schedule or someone who can be with him all day. Puppies like Henry need lots of potty breaks, socialization, and bonding time! If you find yourself swamped with work or busy social plans, a puppy might not be the best fit for you at this moment. We’re currently adopting in the Chicago metro area, and home visits are required. If you feel that you and Henry could be a match made in puppy heaven, please apply through the Buddy App!
