About Henry

Meet Henry, an exuberant 3-year-old Black Lab who embodies the spirit of fun and playfulness. Weighing in at about 68 pounds, he thrives on games—especially fetch. Caution: expect to find him prancing around with two tennis balls in his mouth, ready for action. He loves to chew, so sturdy toys are a must, and keeping things like cardboard and wood out of reach will save a few recycling bins. Henry adores car rides and might attempt to join you up front if given half a chance. While he’d revel in a big fenced yard, he can also adjust if you keep him active with walks and playtime. He’s great with older kids but might be a bit too rambunctious for little ones. Interaction with other dogs brings out his friendly side, just give him a proper introduction. Henry is eager to learn, responding well to commands like sit and shake. His personality balances sweetness with a dose of chaos, often giving you a playful nudge as a reminder to join in the fun.
