Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Henry is one of the remaining pups of the Retirement Litter. These twelve sweet doberman mix pups have a unique background story. They were pulled from a property in Clearlake County, CA. This single property had numerous dogs. When animal control refused to get involved, HFP and some other rescue partners stepped in to rescue these pups with the help of committed fosters. These littles ones have already been through so much in their short lives, but only brighter days ahead!
They are ready for their forever homes and can’t wait to bond with you! These pups are expected to be large when full grown.
From Henry’s fosters:
Henry is a very sweet puppy that loves to play with his toys and cuddle with his people. He also loves to chase a ball. He has a very gentle nature and gets along well with other dogs and kids. He does well meeting new people. He is learning basic commands and has already mastered "sit". He is highly trainable and food motivated. He is a rockstar in the car, just peacefully sleeping in his crate (or LOVES to get a bully stick for the journey). He sleeps all the way thru the night in his crate, no accidents. He is growing in confidence on the leash and experiencing new noises and places. He is not a puller, but will need people to be patient with him so he can get the hang of leash walking, as sometimes he needs some encouragement.
Henry can’t wait for adopters who show him that the world is safe and fun! If his foster sister is walking with him, he is even more at ease. Henry seems to really benefit from his foster big sister showing him the ropes so he may do best in home with another dog.
He is calm on outings, sticking by his people but very open to being petted by new people and making friends! :) Henry recently had enough confidence on leash to go for his very first run! He got the hang of running on leash quickly and was redirected with treats when distracted by all the exciting sights and smells! Great with dogs, young kiddos and can accompany you on your runs - doesn't get much better than sweet Henry!
$375 adoption donation - vetted, up to date on age appropriate shots, dewormed, fecal tested/treated, flea tick treated & available w spay agreement addendum by/before 6 months. They are all microchipped with lifetime registry.
Ideal home will:
Have the time to commit to all things puppy! Please note puppies do not do well left alone long hours. Long work schedule where the puppy would be left alone for 7+ hours can be difficult on most puppies and young dogs.
Solid plans for puppy socialization, positive exposure and continued training + relationship building -- commitment not just to puppyhood but to a lifetime of love, care, companionship and vetting. HFP advocates for Positive Reinforcement only for young puppies and training that focuses less on "obedience" and more on confidence building, relationship building and consent training.
Preference to homes w/ friendly & well-trained dog role models (preference, NOT required)
Interested in adopting?
1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application
2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call!
3. If it sounds like a potential match for you and the dog of interest, we will promptly set up a meet and greet at the foster home
Please note we are a foster-based rescue meaning our dogs are in individual foster homes throughout sac and the bay. For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.
