About Henry

Start your journey together! Apply now. Meet Henry, a strikingly handsome Siberian Husky who splits his time between the shelter and the warmth of a foster home filled with six dogs and two cats. Having experienced new things like the cozy comfort of a real bed and the marvel of a television, Henry delights in quiet moments cuddling with whoever is closest. He’s still learning about play and approaches it with the joyful curiosity of a puppy, making every day a new adventure. Henry thrives around other dogs and would do wonderfully in a home with a canine companion, but he’s equally happy soaking up all the snuggles as your only pet. While Henry gets along nicely with dogs and cats, he is best suited for an adult-only home due to his wariness around new people, particularly children and teens. Slow introductions to strangers help him to warm up at his own pace. This quick learner is already housebroken and eager to continue basic obedience training with a patient, understanding adopter. If you’re seeking a loyal companion to share both cuddles and new journeys, Henry is ready to meet you! As a fun astrological note, being born on July 24 makes him a caring and playful Leo, known for big hearts and loving personalities. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
