About Henry

Henry is a senior dog with a big heart and plenty of spirit. At 13 years old, he weighs around 40 pounds and has a lovable smile that melts hearts. This delightful Terrier mix prefers human companionship and would thrive as the only pet in a calm, loving home. His foster mom describes him as a 'geriatric goofball' with a youthful energy that surprises everyone. While Henry is mostly toothless, his playful personality shines through with his enthusiastic, albeit gummy, antics. He enjoys daily outdoor adventures and needs a secure yard for some fun in the sun. After his adventures, he transitions smoothly into a professional napping mode at home. Although he struggles with some marking habits due to being neutered later in life, we’ll provide belly bands to help him adjust to his new environment. Henry is a quiet companion, settling comfortably in crates and enjoying soft beds. If you’re looking for a gentle old soul with the spirit of a puppy, Henry is ready to bring joy to your life and become your devoted shadow.
