Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What a sweet and kind Wheaten Terrier mix our Henry is! These mixes are opportunistically being bred for their adorable looks, non-shedding (or very lightly shedding) coats and great temperaments. As a result of this human greed, these pups are being bred, sold for very high prices or dumped if they have any challenges. Farfel's is very happy to rescue these dogs and find them nurturing and committed homes.
At 18 - 24 months old and 35 lbs, Henry is an incredibly beautiful guy . We all know Henry has arrived when we see the wag that starts at his tail and becomes a full-blown body wiggle...he is greeting either a friend or anyone who has the potential to be a future playmate. He is initially cautious...assessing the situation to make sure all is OK. This makes perfect sense as he's been through time spent at a high-kill shelter waiting for his pending euthanasia date. When he was identified with a great temperament, Farfel's spoke up to bring Cody to safety (and a new forever family) in Colorado.
Once he senses that all present are his friends, Henry is so warm and friendly that he always hopes every pat and kind word will turn into a friend. Both people and other dogs are drawn to Henry for his kind attitude and playful ways. He is learning to play...with his eyes so bright and joyful, you just know Henry is having the time of his life!
Farfel's Rescue has determined that Henry needs a mellow home where he is an active and important member of the family. We feel that this would be more possible either in an adult home (active retirees would be great) or a family with older dog-loving kids where there's often someone at home. This type of family creates a more predictable environment for any dog. Henry would be overjoyed to spend parts of the day together either hiking or walking through the beauty of Colorado. Then at day's end, he's the ultimate snuggler and sleeps soundly through the night.
Henry (like all dogs) would benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes that includes the whole family - he is a super-smart guy who truly wants to please. Great training will give Henry the skills to be an excellent adult dog. These type of classes will also bring out the great qualities of this Wheaten Terrier mix as well as creating a tightly-knit bonding with all family members
.
Henry is a non-shedding (or very lightly shedding) pup with a beautiful coat that speaks of his scruffy Terrier lineage. He will therefore require a commitment to periodic baths/brushing and great nutrition to keep his hair healthy, beautiful and matt-free.
Henry will be arriving on transport in Denver on Wednesday 7/13/16. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/.
