My story

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

Animal Profile: Henry is an estimated 2-year-old 75 lb neutered male Beauceron who is social and friendly with people and dogs. He was a stray intake to the Chatsworth shelter in Los Angeles in 2023 as an adolescent dog, adopted and then found a couple of weeks back tied outside a house with his crate and a bag of food, abandoned. A good samaritan took him in and was told by the shelter that as an adoption "return" he would be euthanized after his stray hold due to overcrowding. We have stepped in to help. The good samaritan who has been caring for Henry for the last couple weeks reports that he is very social and friendly (hasn't met a stranger) has good manners and gets along with all the dogs in the house. We will share more about him as we get to know him in foster care. 

Note, Henry was listed as a Doberman Lab mix, but based on his double rear dewclaws we believe he is a Beauceron or Beauceron mix. 

Foster Update: Henry has been in temp foster care since June 30 and has shown himself to be easy to handle, docile and affectionate with people and dogs. He seems to have been an outdoor dog and is learning house training and crate training. He does well with house/crate training with structure but still needs regular potty breaks and supervision to be successful. Henry absolutely loves to run and play with other dogs, chase and be chased. He shows interest in toys when other dogs are playing with them (not to try to take them away) but doesn't play much with toys on his own, yet. This boy is truly a gentle-giant. He is extremely even tempered and good natured and responds well to training. He is alert but not fearful or reactive to new people. All of his "challenges" are based in lack of training, not temperament, and he is learning quickly. He seems to still experiencing a lot of firsts (like car rides, hikes, going to the office) and so continued leadership from a human will be important for him. 

Adopter Profile: Most important for Henry (more than people in the home, yard vs apartment, schedule) will be having a human who is comfortable providing foundational training and consistent leadership. We will continue to work on this in foster care, but with his size it will be important for him to learn good manners. Henry could do well with an active experienced owner in an apartment, or in a home, and would be OK in a pack with other playful dogs, or as an only dog with opportunities for play dates. 

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550 which includes neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, and microchip with lifetime registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization.

Animal History: Henry was a stray intake to Chatsworth LA shelter in spring 2023, adopted and then abandoned in June 2024. He was taken in by a good samaritan and transferred to Dog Gone Seattle via Wiggle Butts, arriving to foster care on June 30, 2024. He will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.
