Here's handsome Henry! A gorgeous pyrenees mix. Henry is a contender for goodest boy in the whole world. With soft ears, a shorter coat than the typical pyr, and a unique tail dipped in white at the very end, he is one of those pups that you just can't help but to stop and snuggle. Henry walks well on a leash, knows some simple commands, and is not a big barker! Currently spending some time in boarding, Henry needs a foster or forever home to settle into and show us more about his style. He is calm, loving, eager to please and so clearly wants to just be someone's best boy. His friendly personality, sweet face, and readiness to give gentle kisses will surely make Henry a popular one with aspiring adopters! A good home for Henry will include daily walks, time for playing, and maybe even a canine companion to spend his time with, but most of all, he just wants a loving family who he can shower with affection and loyalty. Doesn't he just sound like the perfect fit?

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.

We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
