My story

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


We adopted King Henri a month ago from PG County Animal Services Division, which said he was 2 1/2 years old and great with other dogs. We have since learned from our veterinarian that he is 4-5 years old, and in our time with him we have also recognized that he is reactive around other dogs and would do best in a home without other pets. We went to a dog trainer who determined that given our ages and lack of strength we would not serve King well. We also worked with a behaviorist who acknowledged that with desensitizing and conditioning, King's reactivity is very manageable, especially for a younger owner than us. He is magnificent with people of all ages including infants and children, was clearly well trained to obey via words and hand signals, and is very loving always. He is very well behaved in the house and never vocal or barky. He eats well and takes medicine easily. We give him vitamins and heart worm meds and we had him neutered. He is doing very well post-surgery!
