Henry is an abandoned Foxhound mix that was rescued from a shelter at double capacity. He needs a forever home with a loving family. He has a kind, sweet, calm, happy and playful disposition. He loves to catch balls, run, play and swim at the dog park. He is skilled at keeping critters out of the yard (without making contact), and would also be a great ranch/farm dog. He can be trusted in the house for extended periods of time. He is clever, understands several words and obeys most commands. Adoption would include Henry's collar, leash, auto harness, auto seat protector, bedding and remaining preventative medications.
