Meet Henry – Your Future Gentle Giant
Are you ready to fall in love with a big-hearted goofball? Meet Henry, a 3-year-old Mastiff with a soft soul and a whole lot of love to give. This sweet boy is all about affection—he’ll happily nudge his way into your personal space just for some head rubs and ear scratches!
Henry is a low-to-medium energy companion, making him the perfect buddy to hang out with while you work, relax, or binge your favorite show. He’s dog-friendly and enjoys rough-and-rowdy play, but he is pretty submissive.
Some of Henry’s favorite things?
Balls! He’s obsessed.
Treats! He’s very food-motivated (and usually gentle about it).
Cuddles! Big dog, even bigger heart.
Henry walks well on leash but can be startled by loud or sudden noises, so we recommend double-leashing for extra safety on walks.
He came into a high-intake shelter in rough shape—emaciated and in need of TLC. Since moving into a loving foster home in March, he’s been steadily gaining weight and thriving. He still has a bit more to go, but he's well on his way!
A couple of things to keep in mind:
He’s tall and can easily counter-surf, so keep tasty items out of reach!
He’s still learning some manners, but his eagerness to please (especially with treats involved) makes training easier.
If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and wonderfully goofy best friend, Henry might just be your perfect match.

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.
We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself.
