About Henry Chestnut

Meet Henry Chestnut! This handsome Shepherd/Carolina Dog mix is eagerly seeking his forever home, and anyone who brings him in will be quite fortunate. Henry's journey has been remarkable. He faced the grave prospect of euthanasia due to space constraints at a city shelter, simply because he was scared. Fortunately, he received a second chance and has blossomed into a wonderful companion. At nearly 8 years old, Henry has a medium-energy level. He enjoys leisurely walks and exploring his surroundings, but he also values quiet afternoons spent relaxing. His foster mom shares that he loves to rest by her feet while she works, proving to be a respectful and calm house guest. Having recently completed a board-and-train program, Henry stands out for his impressive obedience and leash manners. He's crate-trained and comfortable in his crate, making him an ideal candidate for any home. Although he might initially seem serious, beneath that exterior is a gentle boy eager to feel safe and cared for. Henry thrives in an adult-only household with someone who appreciates his sensitive nature, providing him the time he needs to adjust. Ideally, he should be the only pet, allowing for a tranquil environment and a deep bond with his forever family. Though he may not rush into displays of affection, as trust builds, his playful and loving side begins to shine. Henry will flourish with structure, positive reinforcement, and the little joys of life: cozy naps, relaxed walks, and, most importantly, a loving family. He is house-trained, crate-trained, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. Henry has an adoption fee of $350, and foster-to-adopt options are available. Ready to fall in love?
