Henry 13-071 [1]

March 4, 2013

Meet Henry! Henry is a 7 years young, neutered male Golden/Lab mix who is sweet, charming, adorable hunk of love! He is a tall and thin (jealous!) and is estimated to weigh about 60 lbs. Henry found his way into RAGOM because one of the children in his loving home developed an allergy towards him. It is clear that he was well loved and cared for and we promise that will continue for him as we look for the perfect forever home for this sweet guy. He has just been in our home for the day so we are still getting to know him, but the first thing I can say is that there is a family out there about to hit the jackpot with this boy! He's wonderful!

Henry is kid, dog, and cat friendly. In fact, I think he loves everything and everyone and he isn't afraid to show it! He's a snuggle bug who thinks he's a lap dog! He is housetrained and crate trained and knows basic commands. However, I think he would benefit from some basic obedience training... He is energetic and pulls like a freight train on a flat collar and leash. We will get him going on a gentle leader or easy walker harness tomorrow and see how he does... I'm sure that will help! He hasn't had much exercise or attention in the last month or two due to the allergies of the child in his surrendering home, so he is a bit high energy right now! Time will tell if that is his personality or if he just making up for lost time :) He did settle down already here so I am suspecting with a normal amount of good exercise per day he will be a more mellow guy. We will make a trip to the vet this week to get him microchipped and given a once over (he is already up to date on vaccines) but I suspect he will check out as healthy as he seems.I look forward to getting to know Mr. Henry better as the week goes on, so stay tuned! I'll leave you with a quote from our 4 year old son (who has 3 resident dogs in his home). "I like Henry the best. He's so pretty, and he gives good kisses" :)
