Henry 06-105 [1]

3/19/06: Meet Henry! Henry is a 1.5 year old (DOB: 8/20/04), purebred Golden Retriever. Henry is exactly what everyone pictures when you say the words "Golden Retriever." He is friendly, well-mannered, active, gentle, loving and HANDSOME. He weighs in at 81 pounds and is at a good weight -- he's just a big dog! For 1.5 years old, he is very mellow -- a nice feature given his large size. Henry was an only dog at his previous home, but he gets along famously with our dogs and cats. We brought our resident Golden along when we picked up Henry, and like two peas in a pod they jumped into the backseat of the car and were fast friends. Although Henry did not live with children, he loves kids and interacted with them on a regular basis.

The good news is that when we went out to dinner last night, Henry confirmed he can be trusted with free roam of the house. The bad news is he was supposed to be baby-gated in the front room. He is used to having free roam in his previous home, so I guess he was just trying to tell us that he is a big boy who can be trusted alone.

Henry LOVES to be outside (far longer than any sane human would enjoy during a Minnesota winter) - so his ideal home will have a safe place for him to explore and would be with a family who will spend a lot of time outside with him year-round.

Henry is a special boy who could go to a forever home with or without other dogs of any size, with or without kids and with or without cats. This makes him a hot commodity. We trust that Henry will give us the secret sign when he has found the family he wants to call his own.
