Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Fill out an Adoption Application HENRY IS LOCATED IN KING OF PRUSSIA, PA. Introducing: Henry! He is an approximately 2 year old American Bully boy weighing 65 pounds. Henry was rescued by police from a serious neglect situation in Ohio. In spite of that, he is a HUGE sweetheart who loves every person he meets. Likes: Hanging out with you while you work, car rides, cuddling, doggie food and treats, being petted, and meeting new people. Dislikes: Being left out of social activities, and hot weather. He's looking forward to the fall season. Personality: Henry has a relaxed, go with the flow personality. Temperament: Chill, he just wants a comfy place to hang out. Energy level: Low. He does not require very much in terms of exercise. Favorite activities: Laying down with a human companion, eating from treat toys such as lick mats and Kongs, and sleeping. Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?: Henry has a very low prey drive, so while he has not been tested with cats they would likely not be an issue for him. He has good dog social skills and has been polite with introductions, even when the other dog is not polite! He does not seem very interested in playing with other dogs. He loves everyone so he should be great with kids. Not good with: Hot weather due to his short muzzle. Housetrained: Yes, although he has not been left out of the crate unsupervised for any long period. He does not soil his crate. Crate trained: Yes. He will cry if you’re around and he can hear you though. He does not like being left out of social situations. He does great overnight in the crate and sleeps well with a dog bed in there. Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)? No. Walks well on a leash? Yes, he is low key and stays near you. Challenges: Keeping his wrinkly ears and paws clean. No behavior challenges to note. Any Medical issues? Henry came to MTM with severe skin yeast and bacterial infections due to the neglect situation. He is recovering with medication and proper hygiene. He has some spots missing fur, but it is growing back. His paw pads are unusually deep and therefore hard to keep clean. While walking outside his paws get debris stuck in them. His toe jam needs to be cleaned out regularly or they grow yeast. His ears are currently being treated for yeast as well; it is unclear if this will be an ongoing issue or if it is due to previous neglect. What would be the best kind of home? Henry would fit in well almost anywhere. He is not an active guy, so he will not make a good hiking buddy. He is not interested in dog toys and only plays in short bursts. Any home with humans who want to cuddle his mush face is a good fit : ) Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.
