About Edith & Henry

Edith and Henry are a bonded pair of small terrier mixes looking for a home together in Paradise, TX. Around 2-3 years old, they are each about 10-15 lbs with longer coats. Their foster has watched them transform from unsure, shut-down dogs into playful, social companions who enjoy each other's company more than anything. Both get along with children, cats, and small dogs, though they're nervous around large dogs and will need understanding people to let them settle in at their own pace. Henry is a bit braver with new dog friends, while Edith mostly prefers Henry's company—but she'll occasionally share affection with other small dogs too. They listen well, know several useful commands, and are potty trained, including on puppy pads. Still, they require a calm introduction to new people and situations. If you’re patient and kind, they will reward you with loyalty and a loving bond that only comes from animals who've truly learned to trust. They’re ready for someone to give them a chance. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
