About Henry in TN

Henry is a charming 9-year-old male Dachshund living in Shelbyville, TN. He weighs 15.8 lbs and has a smooth short coat in shades of red and chestnut. Henry thrives on companionship and tends to be a velcro dog. He loves being close to his human, while still giving them space to carry out their tasks. Though he can be protective of his loved ones, he is gentle and loyal when he bonds with someone. Henry has had very few potty accidents and sleeps well at night. However, he is wary of strangers which can create challenges, especially with new people entering his home. A solid, fenced yard is essential since he tends to vocalize at outside noises. He is crate trained but would prefer a personal kennel. Henry gets along well with other male and female dogs but does not get along with cats or small children. Hurting a Dachshund’s back is common, so a household with children under 5 years old is not suitable. If you can provide a stable and quiet life for Henry with few visitors, you might just be the special person he needs. He deserves a loving forever home and has so much loyalty to offer.
