Story
We are currently on a transport in OR and NorCal and have Henry with us. His adoption fell through at the last minute to no fault of his own. We are praying he finds a home before we return home ❤️
Meet our handsome boy Henry! He is a shih tzu/poodle mix. Yes, he is hypoallergenic which means he doesn't shed. He turned 1 year of age on 1/23/25. He weighs 7.7 lbs. Yes, he is full grown, and at a very healthy weight. He is just a small little guy. He is neutered, current on all vaccines, microchipped, had a thourel exam with our vet, and has offically been cleared to find a home all his own.
He is house trained, and goes out every 3-4 hours to use the restroom when needed. He has been excellent about going outside, and hasn't had any accidents in the few months we have had him.
He is crate trained, and sleeps beautifully in his crate at night or to nap in during the day. The crate has always been a place of comfort to him, and if used the same way in his next home it would be extremely beneficial while he settles in and learns his new home with you 💙 He would definitely be able to sleep on a dog bed aside yours, or in bed with you if that's where you would like him eventually so Ild say the choice is yours to make and he would happily abide as he is always eager to please.
He is doing very well on leash, and loves to take strolls around the neighborhood when the weather is nicer. He is a little shy when first meeting anyone he doesn't know, but we have noticed that as his confidence in the world grows, so does the confidence within himself ❤️ He is a total sweetheart, and one that just needs a little guidence while he navigates life 😊
He does really well with other dogs, but is a bit intimidated by big dogs and will steer away from them if there energy is too much for him. He gets along great with smaller dogs, and loves to play but his true happiness comes when he is with his human so as long as he has someone to love he will be happy and will flourish in his next home, but having a little friend won't hurt either so if you have another dog, or cat he would happily join their lives as she would yours 💙
He is not a barker, but will alert you of unfamiliar noise. He is rather quiet, and serene tempered and doesn't ask for much to keep his little heart happy. He loves snuggles, and to be in your arms but if you are busy tending to other things he will nap near by, or patiently wait for your attention to return to him.
He is not high energy, or high maintenance at all. He is easy to please, and even easier to love so I guarentee by adding him to your world, you will be doing just that ADDING him as if he had always been a part of it just with an added bonus of snuggles whenever your heart needs them 💓
He has wonderful manners in the home. He has great recall and always comes when called. He listens very well, and has learned to beg with his two front paws because he knows it tugs on our hearts and not only makes us smile, but gets him what he wants to especially if it's treat related as he is a foodie by heart!!
He is amazing on road trips, so he would make an awesome traveling partner wherever the road may take you. He also loves the groomer, so spay days are happy filled days for him! He is an incredible little guy with a lot of love to give so if your life could use even a little of what he has to offer then help us make his life complete by adding him to yours ❤️❤️
His adoption fee is on our website at the very bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/henry
It covers his neuter, microchip/registration, vaccines, exam with our vet, the care involved in the few months he has been with us, his grooming costs, and the training we have personally done with him.
