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 stepped in to help. 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 foster care with Dog Gone Seattle since June 30 so we know quite a bit about him! He has been affectionate and friendly with people and dogs. He seems to have been an outdoor dog but has quickly picked up house training and crate training. Henry absolutely loves to run and play with other dogs, chase and be chased. He loves to play with toys and typically plays well with other dogs with toys but does require some supervision with high value resources such as bones. Henry is alert but not fearful or reactive to new people. He met a tall male stranger on KOMO news on air for a Seahawks promo and did great, and goes to adoption events like a pro. As he's settled into foster care, he has shown that he can react to humans reaching for his head or collar while he is crated or chewing on a bone, so we have been addressing that through training. He has been in several different foster homes and adjusted to each beautifully, including one with children ages 1.5, 3 and 5.
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. Large dog experience is required. 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.
