Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Henry is a SUPER sweet ~2 year old, shy, 35 lb Border Collie/Spaniel mix. Henry came from a hoarding case where he lived his life outside with little human interaction. In just 2 weeks in foster care he has learned that humans are not that scary and being in a house has its advantages. ,
Henry loves all dogs and cats. In fact if he hears a dog barking in the neighborhood, he will try to head in their direction. He is very smart and easy to train. He wants nothing more than being out in the yard playing with his doggie friends or just enjoying a quick snooze in the grass.
He would do best in a home that has a secure fenced-in yard and another dog to play with and help build his confidence. Henry's favorite thing to do is walk..walk..and walk!. He is inquisitive with a little bit of mischievousness mixed in. Henry has a playful, fun spirit that is emerging as he becomes more confident.
Henry is crate trained, potty trained, rides well in the car, and leashed trained. If you are looking for an adorable medium-size, active, fun dog, please consider Henry!
Henry even has his own Facebook page where you can see video and more photos: www.facebook.com/bigfluffyhenry
For more information or to adopt Henry, please email Jen.Lu@bigfluffydogs.com and kim@bigfluffydogs.com, and fill out our adoption application online at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
