About Henry in TN

Henry is a 9-year-old red Dachshund currently located in Shelbyville, TN. He has a smooth, short coat and weighs around 16.2 lbs. Henry was adopted in 2020 but returned to the rescue due to circumstances beyond his control. He needs a strong leader who understands his need for space and will help him adjust to new situations, as he can be vocal with strangers. In a loving environment, Henry is loyal and affectionate. He thrives with a quiet household that has adult children or older family members. A fenced yard is a must, as he doesn’t do well in noisy environments like apartments or condos. While he does well with male and female dogs, he’s not compatible with cats. Adopters should be prepared to work with him on walks to help him maintain a healthy weight. If you think you can provide the kind of home Henry needs, reach out to his foster mom at aadrpresident@gmail.com. He's looking for a safe, committed forever home where he can flourish.
