Why is this little man here? It was love at first sight for his caregivers AND for Henry. It’s hard, if not impossible, to not melt when looking at him. Henry also melts when he’s looked at or given any sort of attention. He CRAVES it and it’s incredibly useful in training! When his caregivers enter Henry’s building, he sits at the kennel door wagging his little tail being a quiet gentleman. During the day if not in his play yard, Henry can be seen lounging in the sun (or shade) just existing happily. Henry was introduced to toys recently and at first, he had no clue what to do with them. After a little toy squeaking and toy boops, he’s an expert and LOVES to show off his toys to anyone who will pay attention! He’s very gentle when it comes to toys. He hasn’t destuffed one (he did partially burry one though). Henry stayed close to his people when his caregivers brought him into the 2-acre dog park for the first time. He would happily sniff ALL the things but would pay close attention to his people and run to catch up if they strayed too far ahead. He was not a fan of the little doggy pool, but MAYBE he’ll learn with some coaxing from his people and another water savvy dog? His caregivers are working on basic commands and training with great success. He learns quickly and it seems like his mission in life is to make his people happy. He’s wonderful

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
