Featured Pet Henry Is Handsome, Sweet and Silly

Henry is our Pet of the Week from Forte Animal Rescue.

Handsome Henry is a sweet and playful German Shepherd/Alaskan Malumute mix. He’s a sweet and silly boy who loves to give kisses and will try to climb in your lap if you let him.

Found abandoned in a local park, Henry is an easy-going dog who adapts easily to new situations and people. He doesn’t demand a lot of attention, and loves tummy-rubs and chasing toys, especially soft, fluffy ones. Henry has lived happily with other dogs, and is generally submissive with dogs he knows. He still gets over-excited when meeting new dogs, and will need some training on basic commands and social skills.

Henry takes medication for his thyroid and arthritis in one elbow from an old injury, so he does best with playing in a yard or shorter walks, but it doesn’t dampen his enthusiasm (especially for chasing crows). All he needs now is a home he can call his own.

Henry is about 5-6 years old and weighs about 100 pounds. He is neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with kids and other dogs. This goofy love-bug is also in need of a foster home while he waits to be adopted.
