Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oh, Henry! This little guy is simply amazing! In fact, he is a walking miracle - truthfully! Once paralyzed in his rear legs and confined to a cart, he is now walking, running, and even attempting to jump and sit up (though we dicourage the last two).
We do not know what happened to cause his temporary paralysis, but we do know he was found in a park where some kids were throwing things at him - so perhaps it happened because of that. You might think this experience with kids would put him off of anything human falling within that age range, but no! Henry seeks out children and would love to have at least one to hang out with. (He even crawled up into the lap of a five-year-old who was sitting on the ground CART AND ALL!) He loves adult humans as well.
Henry gets along great with other dogs, big and small, and even cats too. However, Henry will act like he's all that when there is a new large dog introduced into the household until he knows everything is OK.
Henry is awesome! If you would like more information about Henry and/or would like to be considered to be his lucky adopter, please go to the Adoption Process page of our website, throwmeabonedogrescue.org. There you can read about what we need from you and find the link for our adoption application.
All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. The application can be completed and submitted from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - and is found under Resources. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live.
Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed if necessary, de-flea'd (with topical treatment if old enough, and by medicated bath if too young), spayed/neutered, microchipped, is up to date on shots, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead and collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
