Story
Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at www.paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Wisconsin applications are priority, but Illinois applications will be considered if no small children are present in the home, the home is owned, and excellent vet reference can be provided. We cannot process applications from other states.
Henry is currently living in a foster home in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.
Henry was found as a stray in Houston, Texas, hanging out in an abandoned house surrounded by broken glass. It was clear that he did not belong to anyone. Despite being little in size, Henry has a big personality. He leaves an unforgettable impression! He is very fluffy and has a low-rider body and he knows he is adorable! He likes to be the one in charge so he would benefit from having an owner who can be firm (in a positive manner) and consistent. Henry is successful in his foster home when he gets clear limits. He is estimated to be about a year old and can be both a couch potato but will also tear around his foster's fenced-in yard chasing after the other dogs in the home. Despite his short little legs, he really is quick so keeping doorways and entryways secure is important. Henry would love to have a fenced-in yard to hang out in.
Henry needs lots of time and space when meeting new people. Thus far he has been unable to interact appropriately with new people, but it is a goal his foster is working on with him. He prefers quieter environments with only one person. He would love a calm home to live in with just one adult as he is a very loyal dog and bonds with that one person really well. Henry would prefer to live in a house, as an apartment building has too many people coming and going. He would love to find an adopter who is a home-body and does not like to host parties or gatherings at their home. If you have children (17 and under) or are planning to have children in the future, Henry is unfortunately not the dog for you. Henry is skeptical of people of both genders, but particularly males. When he trusts you, all he wants to do is have you pet him or cuddle him. To date, Henry has found one person that he trusts. Henry lives with four other dogs in his foster home and does well with them. This is really an area of strength for Henry since he more easily accepts new dogs than people. His favorite playmates are the younger, higher energy dogs in the home as he likes to chase them or wrestle in a friendly manner. Henry also loves all kinds of toys and is treat motivated. Henry has not lived with cats, but he does have a higher prey drive based on other woodland creatures that he encounters. He is looking for an extra special adopter who is willing to be his best friend. Henry needs someone who can commit to living a lifestyle that suits him.
Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once
approved a meet and greet with the dog. Please note that preference is given to adopters in
Wisconsin, but Illinois adoptions will be considered. will be considered. Adoption fee is $250.
